It's me

I've always been interested in new experiences!

About Me

Love to converse about: politics, technology, sci-fi, nature, sociology/human nature and good books.

My Interests

books, nature, current events, technology, people, politics, environment, outdoor activities eg. biking,running, skiing, rollerblading, etc. and most anything else.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people for good conversation and maybe more

Music:

rock-n-roll, blues, jazz, classical and anything short of opera and most rap/hip-hop

Movies:

I like all genres, however, I am not crazy about alot of new releases becuase they typically lack a decent plot.
IMO hollywood can do alot better than remaking bewitched, charlies angels and stepford wives!
Here are some movies that I've liked:
Crash, Inconvient Truth, Cold Mountain (excellent book, too), Good Night and Good Luck, Almost Famous, Mystic River, Men in Black, Hotel Rwanda

Lousy Movies: Independance Day & Signs, I am sure there others, but luckily, my memory fails me!

Television:

Daily Show, Arrested Development, Babylon5, Simpsons, Southpark and an occasional documentary or drama (eg. Ben Franklin, Bob Dylan)

Books:

Too many to list! I like to read current best sellers, classics and Sci-Fi Much rather read fiction than non fiction.
Some favorite authors:Orson Scott Card,Ursula LeGuin, Steinbeck, Sherri Tepper, Kurt Vonnegut and Michael Chrichton (except his last anti-global warming screed) One happy compromise is historical novels, you get the history, but you also get to be entertained.

Heroes:

There are many people, here are two that spring to mind:
Ben Franklin w/o whom there would be no United States of America! Thomas Edison, all who volunteer!

My Blog

Nostalgia is bunk!

An old family friend sent me an email with a laundry list of taxes that exist now and didnt 100 years ago, followed with:Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and our nation was the most prospe...
