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

About Me

Well, I gave in. Every single person I know has been after me to get a My Space account. Okay...so once again, I give you what you want. I refuse to let this take the place of actual contact with family and friends (coughRonniecough), but it will be nice to see what everyone is doing and what is on their mind (especially my niece in Joplin).For those who don't know me: I'm in my late 30's going on 12. It seems I found something in life that appealed to me and I cannot let go of it. From a very early age I found out how wonderful the medium of film is, and have never been able to escape its grasp. Most of us look at it as something to do on Friday night, but to me it truly is a way of life; not just the medium itself, but the genres that interest me. With each passing year I wonder if I'll ever grow up. Well, something occurred to me: I am. If remaining a 12 y/o kid at heart is who I am, then so be it. Maybe I live too much in the fantasy world, I don't know. Many people don't like that, but if they don't like that then they don't like me. And I'm sorry for that. Cause I've recently discovered that I'm not so bad after all. And that I have much more to offer than I ever thought. Sorry for being so corny!

My Interests

Spaghetti westerns, kung fu films, Euro-crime films, horror movies, film noir, HK action, intelligent sci-fi, Kaigu, classic Hollywood, Silent films, and animation. Totally in love with the Marvel Universe, and old pulp stories. I also love my family and friends, and have an interest in somehow making life better for them, and for myself.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet the woman that I am destined to be with. I've known alot of women, some were beyond wonderful, some were beyond miserable, so if what they say is true, I'm anxious to meet the best woman alive. I think I need her right now. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....... yeah, SHUT UP!The person I would really like to meet is Jesus. I want to say how sorry I am for living my life in such a retched way. And I want to thank Him, though I'll never find the words, for forgiving me, and for loving me more than I can ever imagine.

Music:

The Who, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd (only with Roger Waters), The Kinks, classic rock, oldies, British Invasion, 60's garage bands and surf music, including The Ventures, Los Staightjackets and Man...or Astroman? The Four Tops, John Lee Hooker, Taj Mahal, blues, the maestro Ennio Morricone, Bernard Herrmann, Cat Stevens, and classical music, especially Beethoven's 9th Symphony, which is, without question, the most beautiful piece of music ever written.

Movies:

Favorites include: THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY (1968), PLANET OF THE APES (1968), RIO BRAVO (1959), ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 (1976), NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968), HAROLD AND MAUDE (1972), POINT BLANK (1967), THE COMPANEROS (1970), THE HOWLING (1981), THE OLD DARK HOUSE (1933), and as Johnny Carson used to say, "More to come".

Television:

Absolutely nothing modern. I particularly enjoy television shows from the 60's: TWILIGHT ZONE, OUTER LIMITS, THE WILD WILD WEST, HOGAN'S HEROES, MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE, MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., THE MUNSTERS, ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, BEVERLY HILLBILLY'S, JONNY QUEST, DARK SHADOWS, STAR TREK, THE ROCKFORD FILES, made-for-tv horror movies of the early 70's and more.

My favorite writers are Ray Bradbury, Robert E. Howard, Fredric Brown, Elmore Leonard, Ramsey Campbell, Cornell Woolrich, Stephen King, John Farris, Sax Rohmer, and more.
