My Interests

.. A href=www.youtube.com/v/RLcpWwD3Hhs Taking up photography. MOOSIC.

I'd like to meet:

People who think beyond sound bytes with solid logic and no pre-set ideology (example: I own a hybrid and an assault rifle). Searching for someone who can light my passion without fucking with my head (the one on top of my shoulders). Seems to be one or the other.

Music:

WAY too many to name. Getting down with Keb Mo a lot lately (More Than One Way Home). Got a fixation for hot, funky brass-a-wailing jazz. 80's music expert. U-2/Beatles/Pink Floyd. Portishead. New Orleans music. I have an erotic fixation with Joan Osborne's voice.

Television:

If it isn't on HBO, I don't bother. Well, except for Invader ZIM!!!! Band of Brothers.

Books:

I burn through books. It's almost all history or current events. Real Life is more interesting than fiction.

Heroes:

Willy Brandt. Col Nick Rowe. PFC Joseph Mann. Abraham Lincoln. The 2006 New Orleans Saints (God bless them, they have done far more than play football. They have given hope to a destroyed city)

Fats Domino!

So, I'm getting ready to go in to work this afternoon to clear up a couple of things and I'm reading the Times-Picayune and there is a story that Fats Domino was playing that night at Tipitinas. Holy....

Starbucks in the the French Quarter?

They are one of the bidders for the old Madeleine site on Jackson Square. The local response is obvious, but some of the comments in the paper are better than others. This one in particular gave me a ...
