About Me

Hey everybody, my name's David. I'm pretty easygoing, enjoy being with friends & family, having a good laugh (and a coffee!), and have great sense of humour. Keeping in touch with Family and Friends has always been important to me.
I'm a digital video & photography addict, and a bit of a tech junkie. As for movies/TV ... Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and other sci-fi. Otherwise, it's comedy, news & documentaries, animals & nature, and technology and aviation. As for music, wow, it's a wide range, but if I had to say, the favourites are mostly new age, Traditional & New Country, Soft Rock, and pop.
Since a few people have asked ... I **do not** own any horses, even though I'd love to.
I take every opportunity to visit the ranches & stables when visiting my parents in British Columbia. My cousin owns two in Ontario, whom she adores. She competes successfully in Equestrian all over the place.
I developed a passion for horses at 19, when I rode one for the first time at a ranch near San Francisco. Her name was Belle, a retired Equestrian. She had an ebony coat of pure satin and the temperament of an ocean breeze. My brief time riding her was the experience of a lifetime.
There's something very honest and intelligent about horses, and I guess that's part of the allure. They're strong, very intelligent, and graceful. Unlike other animals, looking one in the eye won't get you in trouble. :)
Well, thanks for reading this far. Drop a note/comment if you like. I'm pretty good about keeping in touch, and enjoy meeting new people!

My Blog

Flight Simulator X (10)

I've plaued this, but the extra RAM (2 gigabytes of memory total) the game prefers is worth it if you "can't get enough". Just for the music and eye candy, this is worth a look (click it!)Posted By:R...
