80s metal, blues, and Buffett. I LOVE tropical music - reggae, soca, calypso, steelbands... Pretty much anything (yes, even country - sorry to disappoint you) but jazz. I hate music where it sounds like everyone's playing a different song. But I am and will always be the King of 80s Metal.
Movies
Honestly, I don't see very many. I probably go to the movies once or twice a year. I'll watch just about anything with the right company, but I lean towards comedies (bet you never saw that coming) and big-budget dumb action movies when I feel the need to eat 7 pounds of overpriced popcorn. I hate romantic comedies and other assorted Nicholas Sparks book-inspired "feely" flicks that could just as easily double as 2 hour douche commercials. I do have an ever-growing dvd collection, but Hugh Grant is nowhere to be found in it.
Television
I leave it on to drown out the ringing in my ears and voices in my head, but hardly ever watch it for long periods of time. When I do watch, it's usually sports (Florida State - go NOLES!), VH1 specials, or crappy reality dating shows. I admit it - I love 'em. I've also become quite enamored with LOST.
Books
What are those?
Heroes
My grandfather. I've got him to thank for nearly everything good in my life. And he still kicks my ass all over the golf course.

Clubs: OK, I'll admit it... I was in the French Club. Also logged a few years in Metal Shop. Who'd have thunk it?
But for the most part, I was kind of quiet and kept to myself as a proud member of the Late Bloomer club.
I already lived the dream, now I'm just looking for fun. If anyone wants to just jam and rock out for a bit, let me know. Have gear, (fading...) chops, stage presence, and am drug/alcohol free. Shoe-gazers and hipsters need not apply - let's rock!
About me: I'm James. I've got a dot com. I hardly maintain that. There is absolutely no reason at all for me to create another internet profile here. So here I am.
I'm a beach bum, a musician, a writer, a middle manager, the King of 80s Metal, a millionaire male model, and a bonafide hilarious guy. I'm also a compulsive liar. But since this thing really isn't policed yet, you can just go on assuming that I'm rich and totally hot and ignore the rest.
My pirate name is:
Mad James Flint
Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who digs the surf, the sand, and enjoying life. Special consideration is given to responsible people who still think 80s metal is cool, but that's not an absolute requirement. Just know that I revel in my campiness, collect music obsessively, and unashamedly still listen to KISS when the mood strikes.

Soooo.... just wanna throw it out there, it's midnightish and it's still in the 70s or something. If I'm gone in the morning I moved back to Cali babe. =P
