Sometimes I'm so full of shit.. It should be a crime..

About Me

Hi, The name's Mike. I guess to tell you a little bit about me, I'll start off with the fact that I'm an all out railroader, as well as a collector of many oddball things, Mostly railroad related though. I just can't seem to get enough of "trains" as people say. Call it a serious hobby, or even an obsession, I just like "trains" that much more... I'm a want to be gear-head, as well as somewhat of a tinkerer, always screwing around with something... Other than railroading, I love music, it's a main passion of mine. Although, I don't quite like the types of music that most do, or, Alternative in other words. I love photography, some rail related and some just random things, It's another passion of mine. Anyways, if you want to know more about me, feel free to shoot me an IM at [email protected] (Red Baron 9221).This video is my Debt of Gratitude to all Conductors & fellow Railroad Men & Women working for a living. Many thanks to Alex Onan for making the video, he did a wonderful job. And, A video by Ed Kaspriske from this springs Hawks Nest get together. with My Nathan K5LA, and a Nathan M-5 (Scratchproof), and an IC 6 chime whistle, All dualing Amtrak's K5LA.

My Interests

Railroading in general, but, to branch off a little, I like all of the following... Railfanning/rail-photography, Model-railroading, collecting railroad memorabelia, large and small. One general field I collect in, is locomotive air horns, yeah, they're loud as Jeff would say.Other than railroading, I like to game a little, nothing like a good round of halo or some first-person shooter... Heh, never seems to get old.I'm in to and for about anything else, I like to hang out occasionally, with a few friends, not too many though, I just like a small crowd so to speak.

I'd like to meet:

I guess I made this site to keep up with old friends and what not, so, other than that, no one in paticular.

Music:

I like about any kind of alternative rock, and a little country here and there, And alot of Blue-grass, can't get enough of that stuff.. I just don't care for that new rap, Just seems like a bunch of.. people screamin' to me... lol...Some bands I like are Modest Mouse, Angry Johnny and the Killbillies, Spiderbait, Primus, Audioslave, Beck, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, The Kings Of Leon, Gorrillaz, Cledus T. Judd (god he's funny!), Incubus, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Rodney Crowell, Shawn Mullins, Franz Ferdinand, Daft Punk, Jet, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Bob Seager... And man, loads more...

Movies:

I'm into about any good and grose and gorey horror movie... The Thing is an all time favorite of mine, the first time I saw It I didn't sleep for three days, and left all of the lights on 24 hours during that period...Anywhoo, Aside from horror movies, I like the reeeeaaaaaally complicated movies, per say National Treasure as an example, just something that gets you thinking, you know?I also love comedy movies.. Such as Monty Pythons'... Gotta love em' Brits and their silly accents... Some other movies that I like are Supertroopers, Bill & Ted's Excellent adventure, Mouse Hunt, Harold & Kumar's White Castle Adventure... And a bunch more...Otherwise, I can watch about any movie, bored or not, I'll watch it, just for the hell of it...

Television:

Aside from movies?.. Ehh, I'm a channel surfer, but, mainly I watch Adult Swim and a few other shows like CSI Las Vegas and Mythbusters..

Books:

I really don't read much, in the means of paper books, although I do own a decent collection of various subjects. Hop on my Xanga to read some of my own "books" www.xanga.com/WM_kid

Heroes:

Heroes... Probably my good friends, and they know who they are, I hope..
