My Interests

Writing, music, strange events, movies, TV, walking,anything new.

I'd like to meet:

People who are going places in life. Those persons in this world who are more interested in the bigger picture than in griping about the little things that go wrong. I want to be around those who will help me to expand my mind and my interests. I don't want to be around people who constantly whine about things and won't look for a way out.

Music:

KISS, Meat Loaf, Bon Jovi, Mama's Boys, Celtus, Rod Stewart, Slaughter, Poison, Trooper

Movies:

MASK, Air Force One, The Crow, Turk 182, The Rock, Drop Zone, Time To Kill, etc.

Television:

NCIS, the three CSIs, Law and Order series, Numbers, ANTM, Cold Case, Gene Simmons Family Jewels,

Books:

The Bond, A Paranormal Love Story and anything else I have written. LMAO. No seriously. DaVinci Code, Lion of Ireland, Anything by John Grisham, Regina Paul, Ann Rule, Stephen King and Mary Higgins Clark, just to name a few.

Heroes:

Terry Fox, Rick Hansen, my family. Those who face life head on with courage and grace. I live daily with a chronic illness yet so many others face illnesses that could mean the end of their lives at any time. And they do so bravely. Or there are those that face immeasurable grief and hardship constantly it seems and they do it with such strength. I watch and I have to admire them. They are who I would like to emulate.
