Soooooo what else you ask?

How old am I? where did I come from?

As for age, who knows, I'm old enough to know better and old enough

to not give a damn. Life's too short to worry about what other's think.

I have lived in the north east as well as the south. I currently live in Louisiana

an hour or so north of the Crescent City ( New Orleans for the uninitiated)

I am presently studying computers and networking so as to keep my job skills

current. I have been into what would today be called 'Goth' long LONG

before it became fashionable. I have always liked things like vampires

and the supernatural. To me it is much more enjoyable to spend my lunch hour

in the gazebo of a large quiet cemetery then to go to some popular spot and

deal with the crowd. Although I like live music and especially like some of

the new hard rock and Goth bands, I just do not enjoy the crowds.

I have been a professional musician and played bass mostly in punk and

heavy metal bands. I am also studying Japanese.

Konbanwa! Hajimemashite.

Ogenki dseu ka

I'd like to go to Japan some time. I have relatives who have lived there and

one of my wife's relatives still does live in Japan.

I am currently restoring a 1962 Thunderbird. It is about 90% complete. It isn't

concours perfect, but it is quite presentable and would look good in a show.

I want to find a nice pre 1976 Cadillac Hearse. Either a M &M or a Superior.

But, I need to get a few other projects around here finished before springing

a big old hearse on my wife. She has been very tolerant, though. She puts up

with my vintage hi fi collection which consists of some 23 systems set up

all over the house. Also the Thunderbird and a couple old boats. Thankfully I

had the skills to build two garages to house all these things in!

As for my philosophy on things in general, I tend to be conservative and am

pro constitutional rights. I also believe that said document is not an evolving

doctrine. Nor is it something open for liberal interpretations designed to

fulfill the agendas of a few well to do liberals that have more money and time

then brains. Most of these so called new ideas and agendas do little

to help the working masses and in most cases rob us of certain rights.

I think everyone has the right to their opinion, just not the right to impose it

on me if it is not what I believe. I also feel that being an American is just that.

You are either an American or you are something else. There is

no such thing as a 'hyphenated' American in my book.

I also believe that freedom costs. There will always be someone out there

who feels it is their God given right to take more then their fare share.

These are the people that must be resisted at all costs.

Well, that's about it for me.
