About Me

I know lots of people and have only a few real friends, but we're tight.I'd rather go somewhere in my neighborhood than on a road-trip.I like to sing with people, or by myself, but not by myself in front of people. Unless there's been sufficent alcohol and it's Karaoke night.I can get a bit wild and out of control having fun at times, but I mean no harm.I am cynical, yet still angry enough to act.

Movies:

Whatever's on City TV, Stanley Kubrick, The search for Animal Chin, V, Land and freedom, James Bond, The nightmare before christmas, Robbery movies
