I am here for Friends

About Me

Not much to tell. I'm just a regular guy. I'm married and have four grown sons, 2 grandsons, 1 grandaughter and a thirteen year old daughter. I'm a respiratory therapist by trade but for the past few years I've done pulmonary function testing at St. Luke's Episcapol Hospital / Texas Heart Institute in the Texas Medical Center in Houston. My off time is spent cycling, or pickin one of my guitars (Martin or Ovation) or my Fender bass. I live in Richmond, Texas which is a southwest suburb of Houston. I moved here from Spring, Texas, where I'd lived since 1979, in August of 07. I used to hit the gym 4-5 times a week but there's not one close so I'm in the process of building one in my house. My favorite sports are pro cycling and NASCAR. In my "younger days" I raced late model stock cars on dirt. In the word's of Ray Wylie Hubbard, "I don't concern myself with how Jesus was born or if he was raised from the dead - I believe what it comes down to is the things that he said." I don't do church. I served in the U.S. Army and in Vietnam in the 167th Assault Helicopter Co. - 1st Aviation Brigade (any Deans out there) in 71 & 72. I'm a middle of the road Democrat and I have no time for the morons we call christian coalition conservatives and their blind ignorance to little things like facts and science. I think the right wing republican movement is fueled by subtle racism. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I believe George Bush is an idiot and a truly evil person.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You - Bill Clinton - Ray Wylie Hubbard - Katie Couric

Bailout Hijinx & Other Repulikan Frivolity

I have watched these little republikan hustlers the past few days and I'm thoroughly disgusted. This mess results from the orgy of deregulation that began with Ronald Reagan and his hangers on includi...

And A Lie Becomes The Truth

They say if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth. I guess I've seen enough to know it's true. Today we all remember where we were and what we were doing when we found about the attack. W...

Family Values ?

I'm not sure how this family values thing works but the more I see of republikan politiks the more questions I have. I've never held myself up as a paragon of virtue but damned if I don't think I am m...
