Worry about today, let tomorrow worry about itself.

About Me

I just try to get by and make it to the next day. I have lived in Cleveland all my life. Maybe I can leave here someday, and go somewhere like LA or NY, or maybe not. LA is supposed to be very nice. I was out there about 30 years ago for two weeks. The atmosphere and climate are a substantial contrast from Cleveland's. It would be nice to see again. I never made it to Hollywood or seen any of the movie studios, but perhaps someday I might. I have never been to New York. I'm a doctoral student in research psychology with a bachelors degree in psychology and political science. I returned to college in 2002 to finish my degree after leaving in 1988 a semester short of my bachelor's. This year I proceeded to graduate school. I am proceeding from quarter to quarter integrating what I have done outside of school previously with my schoolwork. I monitor political, social, business, and entertainment, Hollywood events, and am working to integrate tham all into a theory of inerpersonal relations and what those relations mean to all the people who are involved.Myspace Backgrounds

My Interests

My interests include major political issues, computers, television, and movies. I read books, newspapers, and websites related with my work. But also can read dramatically different things, like the Star Wars books (in addition to seeing the movies) and Hollywood entertainment articles and websites to get information about say, a show on tv or a movie I saw. I haven't gone to see any movies in a while, (can be expensive), I usually wait for them to appear on TV, but with a new DVD player (for school) I can watch them at home.

Music:

I like a good deal of 80's music, such as Mike and the Mechanics, Phil Collins, Huey Lewis and the News, Journey, Supertramp, Bob Seger, Bryan Adams, Tears for Fears, The Little River Band, though my tastes can be very ecclectic. I also listen to British invasion music; Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Paul McCartney and Wings, The Kinks. And some late 60's American classics, Jazz, and Soul music, as well as some current groups. Train, Dave Matthews, Bon Jovi, Zooey Deschanel, Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow.

Movies:

The Family Man, The Sixth Sense, The Green Mile, Frequency, Apollo 13, Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, Godzilla, The Passion of the Christ, The Patriot, Eulogy, All The Real Girls, Elf, Winter Passing, Failure to Launch, The Wizard of Oz, Being John Malkovich, Drop Dead Fred, Wicker Park, Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2, Mission Impossible 3, Minority Report, Armaggedon, Deep Impact, The Rocky Movies, Star Wars Series, Star Trek Series-Insurrection, First Contact, The Undiscovered Country, The Wrath Of Khan, The Voyage Home, True lies, The Terminator movies, particularily Terminator 3, National Treasure.

Television:

Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, 24, House, Ghost Whisperer, Charmed, Numbers, Commander in Chief, The Incredible Hulk, Bones, Smallville, Supernatural, The X Files, Stargate SG-1, Andromeda, My Name is Earl, Still Standing, Two and a Half Men, Star Trek-mostly the newer series', Battlestar Galactica, (both the original and the present series), Weeds.

Books:

Don Regan's "For The Record", Robert McFarlane's "Special Trust", Jerzy Kosinski: "The Painted Bird", George Orwell: "1984", Ronald Reagan's "An American Life", Anna Comnena: "The Alexiad", Aristotle: "The Athenian Constitution", Plato: The Republic, Eusebius of Caesarea: "Ecclesiastical History".
