Born in Texas and lived here all my life. Work in the automotive business working on old classic Fords. Got a yard full of old Mustang I hope to fix up some day.
I am Here for:
I am an old guy in a young peoples forum, but it is fun to lurk around where I can hear some interesting conversations, observe some facinating people, and sometimes pick up on some really cool new music.
Oh, Hi Kelly!!!
Hobbies:
I participate on a lot of automotive forums on the internet and have met a lot of great people through them. I am an Ebayer and a Straight Doper. I do a little webpage building, read a bit of fantasy and sci-fi (when I get the time) and enjoy finding new and interesting music.
Favorite Movies:
Really love a lot of fantasy like LOTR, Zathura, Dragonslayer, Ladyhawke, Jumanji, that sort of stuff. Like a lot of the action sci-fi like Resident Evil, Underworld, Untraviolet, Blade, Matrix.
Favorite TV Shows:
A lot of weird and quirky shows that seem to have a limited run or are quickly canceled, like Firefly, Wonderfalls, Northern Exposure, Dresden Files, The Lost Room. Do love me a lot of South Park, My Name Is Earl, The Office. Will watch some of the reality shows like Survivor and Big Brother just to watch the contestants screw it all up.
Favorite Music:
A little bit of everything except jazz and rap. If it doesn't have a recognizable tune or melody, I don't care for it.
Other than that, anything from Enya to Rob Zombie. In no particular order - Southern Culture On The Skids, Los Straightjackets, Hellcasters, Bond, The Other Ones, Evanescence, Hayseed Dixie, Ramones, The Brandos, Rogue Trader, Pretenders, Abney Park, Chris Rea, lots of various surf rock and Ventures-style bands. The last year or so I have been loving me some Nightwish.
Favorite Books:
Got into LOTR and Chronicles of Narnia back in the 60's and have been into a lot of sci-fi and fantasy ever since. Love the Thomas Covenant series, Earthsea series, some John Varley, Frank Herbert.
I Love:
Making it through a day without any unnecessary hassles or extraneous BS - a rare occurence.
I Hate:
The proliferation of self-entitled people who seem to find offense at everything except their own actions.
