I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

"Good Weird" is how I think of myself. I wear my heart on my sleeve for those who I care about. All of my family, and most of my friends are included. I have an intriguingly mischievous dark side as well. I have mastered being in two places at the same time, now working on the 3rd. I am an enthusiastic conversationalist on topics ranging from the Kama Sutra to quantum physics. I am forever the chivalrous, albeit naughty gentleman. In general, I am hopelessly romantic, vehemently optimistic, dangerously intuitive (try me), relentlessly supportive , charmingly philandering & remarkably skilled (feel free to ask about anything... and I just may tell). I like to infuse happiness & well-being in my friends whenever possible, because It is my friends that I in-turn rely on to infuse me with well being too :-) .

I often wear black... If you have to ask why, you probably wouldn't understand... but then again, only friends who wear black do. If you wear black with a passion, we are already friends! Friends of all colors, who wear any color are my friends as well!! I am open, reliable, discreet, easygoing, politically correct only when absolutely necessary & I give some of the world's most sought-after hugs & kisses (I'm a professional) :-) Welcome to the Dark Side

My Interests

Yeah, Im a Mac Addict. You got a problem wit' That? ;-)

My interests include computers (I am a Mac-Addict), electronics & radio, lasers (no, not toy laser-pointers, lasers that can illuminate clouds, burn holes in stuff, etc...), pro photography, live music, cars... I am a Mopar guy, and I like (and have owned) everything from Mopar Muscle cars to Turbo-Dodge & Shelby cars (I own '88 Shelby CSXT 260), a very clean '86 Shelby Charger, an '89 Plymouth AHB 'Pursuit Package' Gran Fury, as well as a few other cars.I'm also a big fan of compelling conspiracy theories, secret societies, meta-physics, numerology, tarot, magic & spells....and of course beautiful women. Wait!! Where are my manners? ALL women are beautiful *blush* :-) One of them is... The Countess®. She is like no other. If you only knew her like I do, you'd surely love her too... *sigh* If I was only worthy... ;-)

Last, and certainly never least is My Sunshine®. "She's my summer love, in the spring, fall and winter & she can make happy, any man alive" & "She makes me happy, when skies are grey". She is loved & appreciated more than she knows.



Witness one of the Shelby Dodge TV commercials from the '80's, that featured the Legendary Carroll Shelby Himself:

I made this music player at MyFlashFetish .com.

I'd like to meet:

Friends ;-), people to chat with, People to Email with, people to do fun stuff with, legends, heroes, countrymen, patriots, time-travelers, musicians, Mopar fans!, Shelby Dodge fans!, other professional spies & MIB :-] , extraterrestrials..., GOD, hmmm... who else... oh yeah... YOU!!

(well duh!? Now who wouldn't wanna meet you?!) :-)

My Little chunk of the Planet Earth is in 'The City of Brotherly Love'...Where is yours?!? Stick a pin in the map and say hello :-)

Wishing everyone a...


Music:

Well Boys and Girls... Its time for the ONLY Holiday songs you'll really ever need!

Robert Earl Keene's (legendary) "Merry Christmas from the Family!"

Adam Sandler's "Chanukah song :-)"

I am a big fan of all kinds of music. From the Grateful Dead, to Little Feat. From Jeffrey Gaines to Amos Lee. From Bobby 'Blue' Bland to BB King... From Tim Butler to Laura Cheadle, to Slo-Mo to IKE. Get the idea?? I love Rock & Roll, Blues, Funk, Bluegrass, Oldies, Doo-Wop, Rockabilly & a lot more. I love going to see live local music & I do it often. I love making music too. I have been playing the Blues Harp for many years and I am jamming with a few different musicians now. Some of my favorite LOCAL Philly music: Jeffrey Gaines, Tom Gilliam & Tractor-Pull, The Tim Butler Band, Cliff Hillis, Jim Boggia, IKE, Slo-Mo, Jealousy Curve, Fooling April, Laura Cheadle & many others that you will find in my friend's list. Some of my Favorite venues in the Philly area: 88.5FM WXPN's World Cafe (awesome venue), The 'legendary' Tin-Angel, The Sellersville 1894 Theatre, The Keswick Theatre, The Tower Theater, The Colonial Theatre (yes, where 'The Blob' was filmed. its a great music hall now!) Steel City CoffeeHouse, The TLA (what Fillmore?), The Khyber Pass, and The GrapeStreet Pub in Manayaunk!.. Yes... I am old enough to remember historic Philly music venues of yore, like: J.C. Dobbs, The Empire Rock Club (in the NE!) The Ripley Music Hall (on South Street), The 'legendary' Grendel's Lair, The Velvet Lounge (also in the NE!) & a few others , Check back as I add more all the time :-)

Movies:

Goodfellas, Scarface, Casino, Reservoir Dogs, The Usual Suspects, Carlito's Way, The Godfather (see a pattern here? Lol) Diner, The Cider House Rules, BIG, Christine, Duel, Choose Me, Heart Like a Wheel, Ferris Buheler's Day Off, Forrest Gump, The Deer Hunter, Munich, My Left Foot, ...And Justice for All, Ray, Walk the Line, Cinderella Man, Silence of the Lambs, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Lathe of Heaven (legendary Sci-Fi movie), Star wars (all), Spiderman (all), Bram Stoker's Dracula. Sicko, Nick of Time, The Scent of a Woman "Hooowaah!"

One of my all-time favorite movie scenes :-)

Al Pacino, from "Scent of a Woman":

The original movie trailer for 'Christine':

One of my favorite scenes from 'Christine'. She gets a little revenge for being treated badly ;-)

I am a big fan of famous movie lines. Here is AFI's list of the top 100 of all time:

Television:

Rarely watch it unless something terrible is happeneing in the world in which case the NEWS is unfortunately on. That seems to be happening more-and-more, ya know? *sigh* Its not the same world as the one I came from, but it could be with a little help.

Books:

Atlas Shrugged, Lord of The Flies, Fahrenheit 451, UnderBoss, The Valachi Papers, Unauthorized Freud, The History & Practice of Magic :-] , Between Two Worlds, Life Colors (reading auras), Car & Driver :-)

Heroes:

God, My parents, my daughter, my REAL friends... Who knows, possibly even you? Hmmm... Some that come to mind... Dr Carl Sagan, Dr Albert Einstein, Dr Nikola Tesla, Dr Leo Buscaglia, Dr Henry Kissinger...Dr Seuss?!? Dr. DoLittle?!?! Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, ...oh, and the other 54 signers of a certain Declaration who risked EVERYthing, so that WE THE PEOPLE could have a Land of the Free, and a Home of the Brave to call our own. Im sure there are others, and I will place them here as I think of them. I have always believed that to MY friends, I am faithful like a Marine, I am truthful like Abe, I am defensive like a pit-bull, and I am caring like you are part of MY family. The shirt from my back, the food on my table, the roof over my head and my love to share are all offered without question to those I care about. If you care about others and give what you can without regard for the reciprocation you will receive, then you too are my hero. I mean that. You have better things to do than to read this crap! Now go pay it forward... :-)
The space below is dedicated to the 7th Degree Pokemon Master, who lives in my house and calls me Dad ;-)
To the legendary & visionary, Dr. Carl Sagan who helped us all realize that there is a LOT more to this Universe than first meets the eye...
Some of Carl's ideals placed to music:
To Dr Leo Buscaglia, who was one of the first to help us all try to get along a little better... with ourselves, as well as with others :-)
I must say that Ron Paul has cured my apathy for the upcoming elections. He is not my hero yet, but he has my attention for being brave enough to stand up and want to change things for the better. He will be my hero if he can make some of these dreams come true.
