Remember Rule 62

About Me

I spend lots of time contemplating existential issues, the meaning of life, and what I'm having for lunch. I earn a living counselling high risk youth and their families. I sing and play the drums. I'm a legend in my own mind and have sold millions of gold records in Europe while standing in the shower. Je parle Français. People come first. Family & friends are high priority. I'm a friend of Bill W. I hate myself when I shop at Walmart and you should too.

My Interests

People. Friends. Family. Music. Food (all kinds). Cooking & Entertaining. Singing. Drums. Learning. Art. Philosophy. Spirituality. Meditation. Biking. Walking. Swimming. My Cats. Traveling. Sexuality. Gardening. Movies. Documentaries. Laughing. Napping. Current Affairs. Space Stuff. The Outdoors. The Beach. Long drives. The Rain.

Music:

Anything and all.

Movies:

Mainstream, foreign, alternative. Anything my friend Derek directs.

Television:

Books:

The common folk who get up everyday, go to work, raise their families, and try and make the world a better place. Dare to be happy.

Dreams Linger

Just finished watching 2 hours of various clips of The Cranberries on You Tube. Made me realize how much I still am in love with Dolores O'Riordan. Sigh.

Political Correctedness (is that a word?)

Slightly annoyed. I've had a few vegan/vegetarian friends give me the gears lately about eating meat. For the record, I consider myself to be an ethical, balanced carnivore. When possible, I eat organ...
