A good friend of mine once said to me, "For seemingly happy guy, you listen to some really depressing music!" What can I say? I love the blues! Nothings better that relaxing at the end of the day by flopping into one of my over-sized leather chairs and cranking Etta James on my iPod's headphones. Okay then, lets check the old iPod and see what i have been listening to these days... In alphabetical order...The Alabama 3, Alex Bevan, Allman Bros. Amos Lee, B.B.

I love movies! But, the older I get the quieter the movies I like. The simpler the better. can't beat a good movie with long, extended, close up shots that allows the actors show just how great some of them are! I love the little stuff now... like the subtle lighting camera angle changes in "The Cooler". It's amazing how much stuff like that effects the overall mood and tone of the movie. My pet peeve about movies? Stupid Super Geniuses! That just ruins the movie for me... See "Spiderman 2"... Dr. Octavius, Super Genius... Has non-magnetic arms made to help him in his experiment... yet the entire freakin' building he's conducting the experiment in in all metal! He does this not once but twice! Hey, I am not a super genius but if I can see the problem from a mile away... STUPID!
HBO, ESPN, LOST, HGTV, Speed TV, That's about all I watch these days. Extras, Lost, Scrubs, The Sopranos, Deadwood, Entourage and Curb your Enthusiasm are the best things on TV by a mile! Sunday is NFL day in my house! Never call me on Sunday... I won't be here and if I am, I won't answer the phone... THE GAME'S ON!
