About Me

This used to be a long mesh of taradiddle, but you don't need to know that. What is more important is that Harry Potter is coming out soon!

My Interests

Playing and listening to Music, Guitar, Mandolin, Tin Whistle, Writing, Poetry, Reading, Politics, Languages, Culture, Celtic junk, Books, Baseball, Hockey, Boxing and Martial Arts, Guinness. Most importantly-- My homeboys and girls.

I'd like to meet:

Nobody. I'm just here to keep in touch with all my friends and family who keep moving away from Buffalo. Don't add me if you don't know me. Don't ask me for dates-- I'm happily married to someone way cooler than you.

Music:

Rock and Roll in all its forms: from Eddie Cochran to The Clash; Wanda Jackson & Johnny Cash to NY Dolls, Cock Sparrer and Rose Tattoo. I love music. Can't get enough. I'm always looking for something new. I love Hillbilly, Rockabilly, Rock & Roll, Punk Rock, Reggae, Rocksteady, Irish, Scottish, you name it. I'm picky with bands but like a lot of genres.

Movies:

Boondock Saints all the way, best movie ever. Battle Royale comes in second... and The Godfather. New York Doll was good and depressing. Little Miss Sunshine made me laugh so hard I had tears streaming down my face.

Television:

I'm a child of the 80s and early 90s so naturally I'm all about Fresh Prince. Family Guy rules too.

Books:

Utopia, Brave New World, 1984, Marx's "Capital," Machiavelli's "The Prince," "Future Shock," actually all of Toffler's stuff. Oh, ANYTHING by most of the well known ancient political philosphers, especially Plato. Utopian literature is my favorite though.Catcher in the Rye, Battle Royale, James Joyce stuff, Poe stuff, To kill a mocking bird, Beowulf, SOME Shakespeare, Harry Potter (yeah, i know. I can't help it.) The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, Les Miserables, The Canterbury Tales, basically anything penguin classics puts out. Umm.. "All Souls," "Trinity." The godfather. Clan of The cave bear and the rest of the series. Oh and Encylopedia Encarta!I'm ALWAYS reading something. especially poetry.. good stuff, don't mock it. That or prehistory. There are a few books on musicians I dig too but most suck. Johnny Cash, Eddie Cochran and Shane MacGowan have neat ones.

Heroes:

My daddy is pretty sweet.
