About Me

»-(¯..v..¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯..v..¯)-«
I was born, 100,000 years ago. There ain’ nothin’ in this world that I don’t know! Ok seriously…. I was born in 1970, grew up and currently live on Long Island New York. Although I’ve moved around a bit in my adult life. Despite being a veteran of the United States Navy, serving in the Persian Gulf and Bosnia, I’m very much anti-war. Not only the current mess in the middle east, but also the military industrial complex which helps to steer our foreign policy to be one of aggression and war, rather than one of mediation and peace. I worked for a number of years as a plumber, but found my heart was just not with that job. I longed to find myself in a position where I could go home saying that I love my job, and not broken and exhausted hating my boss, co workers and wanting to quit every day. So I used my GI Bill, went back to school and now have a BA in anthropology, and work for a non-for profit agency caring for the developmentally disabled. It gives me joy to know that I can make a much needed difference (no matter how small) in someone’s life.

My Interests

..

I'd like to meet:



You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around. What's Your Beer Personality?

Music:

This is a video I made from film and photos of my trip to Dublin Ireland, with "Foggy Dew" performed by the Wolftones playing in the background.

Movies:

Below is a film I made about the anti-Vietnam war movement of the sixties and seventies. SRC="http://www.williambowles.info/images/sir_no_sir.jpg"

Like Music, I like movies that invoke thinking and are about something. I am mostly found watching doccumenteries like "Sir No Sir" or "Fog of War" or independant films... but am not above watching some non serious movies as well. (Still a big fan of Monty Python.)
