I love everything creative...art, writing, music. I play the guitar everyday, and sing (even though I do it so badly)...I love animals. I play video games even at my age. I'm a fool for the simple joys in life.
I want to meet someone that inspires me to write songs about them. Someone to stand in the rain and kiss and not care that I'm getting soaked. I want to meet someone that likes to hold hands, that understands the beauty in such a simple, innocent gesture. I want to meet a girl that I can laugh with, cry with, be silly and romantic with, and share a million little secrets. I want to meet a girl that believes in love, that believes in magic, that believes in the whole improbable, silly, notion of something real.
Better than any therapist, music has been there for me when I want to forget myself for a while, when I'm raging, when I feel like crying, when I feel so numb I can't even function, some singer I've never met will do my speaking for me.
I'm insanely eclectic with my music. My music is just as important to me as breathing is...I don't feel right, or even half alive if I don't have my music playing, or a guitar in my hand. It's just that simple. It would be impossible to list the music I like. I wouldn't even attempt it.
Stand By Me.....My favorite movie all time. I am Gordie.
Almost Famous ( wish it was my story).....Before Sunrise (what a romantic night!).......Eddie and the Cruisers (words and music)....High Fidelity (The lists, the neurosis--it's so me)......Peggy Sue Got Married (She loves you, ooo ooo ooo)....La Bamba (stars don't fall out of the sky)......Grease 1&2 (will watch anywhere, anytime)......Mask (my movie for when I want to cry).....Say Anything (hold that boombox high!).......The Warriors (come out and play-iyay).......Urban Cowboy (I got the smarts real good)........The Wedding Singer (somebody kill me please).....The Crow (Can't rain all the time).....American Werewolf in London (steer clear of the moors).....The Postman (Tom freakin' Petty!)......The Pale Rider (one of Clint's best).......The Outlaw Josey Wales (Favorite western of all time)......Young Guns (yoohoo--I'll make you famous).....The Lord of the Rings trilogy (You will suffer me)......Enemy Mine (you big ugly head)........The Princess Bride (What a love story....Some Kind of Wonderful (I would have picked Watts from the get-go).........The Star Wars saga (No! That's not true! That's impossible!).......Superman (If you've got me, whose got you?).......Rocky 1-6 (Gonna fly now)..... The Karate Kid 1-3 (know them all by heart. Be very afraid)........ That Thing You Do (I am Spartacus).........The Last Dragon (I AM!).......My Bodyguard (you broke my nose)......Walk the Line (marry me).......Shaun of the Dead (there's a girl in the garden)........Crossroads (NOT the Britney Spears one!)..........The Shawshank Redemption (get busy living or get busy dying)..........The Man With No Name movies (they're all awesome).........and the list goes on and on and on...
Television got it SO wrong when they let Firefly go.
I read constantly. I read just about anything I can get my hands on...Oh yeah, if there's ever a time I'm NOT reading, come check on me because I'm probably dead. Thanks.

My Leia. God I miss you so much. You always took care of me. I took for granted, I know, the dedication you showed me. The way you looked after me, cuddled me when I was cold and sick and having seizures. Worried about where I was, hurried to me when I called your name, followed me when I got up to leave. With you I was never ever alone. So many books we read, you and I. You always made me happy, my girla-girla. I know I'll see you again.
My Lego. I know ferrets have a reputation for stealing things, but I never thought that you could, in such a short time, so completely steal my heart. I tried to make each of your days new and fun and exciting...but I never expected that you'd do the same for me. You were chaos in white fur and pink nose and a crooked ear. You made me smile and laugh so hard with your antics, sometimes until I thought I'd start crying. Such big love in such a small package. That was my Lego.
Faramir. I miss you so much. You were always so sweet and gentle. I love how you used to come up and lay at my feet when you wanted attention, looking up at me with your big, bright, red eyes. And laughing so hard when you would spring into action to snatch a roll of TP and take off with it. It was hard to see you have such a hard time getting around those last months. I'm happy to know that you don't have to struggle with that anymore. Dance on, my albino-boy. Dance on.
Bear and Yoda. I miss you so much.
Junior. I hope your somewhere getting into all kinds of trouble and finding lots of remote controls!
Wayne, I don't think I could have gotten through high school without you. I was born before you, but you always seemed older than me somehow. I'll never forget you.
Punky. Your life wasn't long, but you sure lived it your own way. Most wish they could say that, I bet.
Bruce, I always knew it bugged you, having all us kids around, but you gave me the incentive to do good in school with your deal for the Macross collectables...and it was you who got me into Elfquest (sorry I never gave back the books I 'borrowed', but they have been well loved and taken care of). And I'm glad that I phoned you after I found out you got hurt so that we could talk one last time. I owe my art, and probably my friendship with Dana, all to you and our shared interests.
And finally, just a couple guys....
