Introduction I am a simpleton. I live a simple life. I have a few people in my life whom I cherish above all else. I love Boxers, the dogs, not the people. I can take or leave most people, however, I will go out of my way to tip a waitress who is having a bad day and still manages to keep my water glass full. I also believe shivalry is not dead, it lies dormant in the hearts of the romantics, I am one of those. I love my future wife, Erika. The sun does not revolve around her, however my world does. I have three nephews, Max, Ben, and John Wayland, I also have two nieces Grace and Lillian and I love them dearly, Keith, Allyson. Dary, and Mitchell are wonderful people who I consider my family, a part of my world revolves around them too. I am a work-aholic,(or trying to get back to being one) though I am trying to remedy this by being home more for my bride to be, and my family and friends. You can teach an old dog new tricks, simply, hand comands, a treat, and a little praise. Like I said, a simpleton, a simple life, a simple person, a simple out look, simple views of the world, simple optimisms.
Interests Hanging out with Erika, Boxers, Hanging with Athena (my Kitty Cat), The Outdoors, Space (the last true unknown), Golf, Fishing, Smoking with my friend Keith (heehee), Learning how my nephew Max sees the world, Camping, Long Walks (when I Can Take Them, Enjoying a Good after dinner smoke on a porch watching the sunset (this is a new found glory let me tell you), music, movies (though most comdies elude me), hanging with Allyson and Keith on Friday nights (they are Max's Mom and Dad)...There should be more, but alas, my dear friends, this life it truly boring.
Favorite Movies The Godfather Trilogy, Goodfellas, Fullmetal Jacket, Deerhunter, Love and Chocolate, Apollo 13, From The Earth To The Moon, The Star Wars Movies, The Haarry Potter Movies (Thank You Allyson I am helplessly addicted), Red Planted, Mission To Mars, 2001 A Space Odyssey, The Right Stuff, The Lethal Weapon Movies, Powder, Men Of Honor, Threesome (did I just date myself there?), If these Walls could talk both 1 and 2, Now and Then (sort of a comedy), The Man Without A Face, Meet Joe Black, Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil, The Usual Suspects, I Dreamed Of Africa, Boys On The Side, Fried Green Tomatoes, Great Expectations (Ethan Hawke version), Pride and Predjidous, The Wicker Man (Original), Wishmaster, and of course one of my all time favorites is As Good As It Gets...I LOVE This Movie!
Favorite Music Tough one here: I love 90's rock, and the oldies, I mean OLDIES...Nat King Cole, Aretha, The Rat Pack, Bing, etc, I also Love Classical, I bet you are wondering what you are hearing as you read this boring old blog like so many you have read before, well, no it is not some new age crap, it is actually the sounds Jupiter makes, the accustic sounds made by its electro-magnetic fields, and it is beautiful. Nature makes it's own music, and I enjoy listening to nature almost as much as my highly favored Smashing Pumpkins.
Favorite Books Hands down I have a few. Charles Dicken's Great Expectations, Rohald Dahl's The BFG, The Child Buyer, The Short Story "The Black Box", and of course Walter Mosleys Working On The Chain Gang: Shaking Off The Dead Hand Of History
