About me
I am a student at UMA. I am also a proud fulltime single dad, my daughter Olivia (age 9) is smarter than me, I just haven’t told her yet. Self improvement is very important to me, after all why are we really here if not to make the very best of what we have. Music is a huge part of my life. I learned to play guitar at age 14. I find a way to make music a part of my life every day. I also love movies and video games, great restaurants/great food/cooking, reading, board games, hiking, swimming and who knows what else, I am not done yet.

Not satisfied with the US government? There really is something worse than George W. Bush being re-elected.

Beth Orton, Comfort of Strangers
I have been listening to Beth Orton for about ten years now. She has just released her fourth album, Comfort of Strangers and I am not disappointed at all! She has a beautiful voice and plays kind of folky with some electronic beats. She is not exactly straightforward, her songs take a direction that you would least expect. She seams melon collie but her music creates an environment that you can feel safe in. Very mellow yes, but her sound emanates optimism. If I was to compare her someone else, I would have to she is most like Kate Bush in the way that she is unlike anyone I have ever heard.

Monty Python still makes me laugh
Arthur: I am your King. Peasant woman: Well I didn't vote for you. Arthur: You don't vote for kings. Woman: Well how'd you become king, then? Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by devine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king. Dennis: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Arthur: Be quiet! Dennis: You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you! Arthur: Shut up! Dennis: If I went 'round sayin' I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!.

So Sarah and I gave Olivia passage to this world (well Sarah provided the way). We gave her the best of our looks, wit, sense of humor, intelligence, love, time and energy, She has HER OWN AGENDA and it is NEVER MINE!!!! Couldnt someone have warned me of this?
