About Me

Just a guy, workin' and paying the bills while trying to have enough left over for some fun now and again.

My Interests

Music, cars, women...you know, the usual stuff.

I'd like to meet:

I'm pretty friendly, so I'm up for meeting pretty much anyone once. There are, however, a lot of folks that I wouldn't care to meet a second time!

Music:

The Pogues, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr, Dale Watson, Roger Wallace, Scott H. Biram, Wayne "The Train" Hancock, Steve Earle, Junior Brown, Elvis, The Clash, The The, The Beastie Boys, Joy Division, The Tossers, The Ramones, Dropkick Murphys, and just about any traditional Irish music

Movies:

Too many to list...but it's a wide spectrum.

Television:

Formula One on SPEED, pretty much anything on Discovery, TLC, History Channel, SciFi, Science Channel, Comedy Central or DIY.

Books:

I read a lot of fiction: Jim Butler, Robert Ludlum, Anne Rice, Tom Clancy, Dean Koontz, Laurell K. Hamilton. I also have an odd affection for Ambrose Bierce...

Heroes:

My grandfather, Virgil Knight. For being the type of man I'll always wish I could be.

Wheres the camera when you need it?

So today I saw one of those things that makes you do a complete double-take, and that you just KNOW that no one else will believe without photographic evidence.  And me without my camera.... Some...
