Hail to the Host, a Guest has arrived - Havamal

About Me

I was born in Houston, TX. Lived in Kentucky for 8 years. Came back, graduated, and went off to the Navy for a few years. I was an electrician on a nuclear sub for a while. Kinda cool. I came back to Houston, graduated U. of Houston (go Coogs!) with a B. S. in Psych. For five years I worked different contracts in computers. Then I spent about four years buying and selling real estate.

My Interests

Geneology, success, money, history, role playing games (dungeons and dragons kind - you perv), computers, new gadgets, and information. And travel.
Your Birthdate: November 8
Born on the 8th day of the month, you have a special gift for business, as you can conceive and plan on a grand scale.
You have good executive skills and you're a good judge of values.
You should try to own your own business, because you have such a strong desire to be in control.

You are generally reliable when it comes to handling money; you can be trusted in this regard.
Idealistic by nature, you are never too busy to spend some time on worthwhile causes, especially if managerial support are needed.
There is much potential for material success associated with this number. What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Television:

I like mostly sci-fi, fantasy, action, and adventure....typical guy stuff. I got sucked into Heroes. Farscape was at the top of the list (until sci-fi channel nixed it). Stargate is up there now. Andromeda was highly ranked, but they need to get the actor who plays Tyr off his soap opera habbit. No one plays a Nietzschean better. Serenity. Notice that my favorite shows get canceled? Eureka. American Chopper. Mythbusters. Apprentice.
