I am here for Friends

About Me

I try to be a little less ignorant today than I was yesterday. I have been somewhat successful in this venture.

My Interests

Music:

METAL.

Television:

I haven't owned a TV since 1994. There are, however, a few TV shows on DVD that I watch on my computer or portable DVD player. I am amused by: Robot Chicken, Family Guy, South Park and The Simpsons

Heroes:

Dr. Michael Vose and Dr. Itamar Elhalany because they embody what I think a man should be: responsible.Dr. Shayne Webb because he was the primary inspiration for my motto: "People come and go but education endures".

Thoughts on high gas prices and the politicians criticism thereof...

Yup, gas prices are higher than I can ever remember 'em since I became of driving age. And, of course, people are looking for someone to blame. I mean, it's understandable because the average consumer...
