I'm just trying to survive longer than the doctors say I'm supposed to(even docs can be idiots). I'm not a workaholic. I watch too much TV and spend too much time on the internet and am an avid reader.

Oh, and I fancied myself quite the guitarist until I saw this guy. Fucking fascinating!
Music
Extremes: Cradle of Filth to Sarah Brightman. A lot of the stuff in between bores me.
Frances Rules!
My guilty pleasure? ABBA.
And Tragic Kingdom is one of the greatest albums EVER!
My itunes playlist is so diverse it's probably a sign of mental disorder. Then there's the woman who was responsible for so many of my adolescent boners.
And, why did Cliff Burton have to leave us at such a young age?
One thing about serious metal musicians is that they revere those who came before them. Guitarists bow down to the greats, and here is the greatest ever.
Colm Wilkinson and Michael Ball kick ass here.
Who's the little chick stealing the stage from them? Could it be my first MySpace friend ever?
I confess that I like Christopher Cross. Didn't care for him in my earlier headbanging years, but I've come to appreciate him. At least I know the little Brit chick won't be intruding on this one.
Damn...I called that one wrong. I also confess to liking Michael Crawford. He's the original phantom of the opera. I'm pretty sure I'm safe in posting this video. Surely the little Brit chick won't show up here.
Damn, there she is again! (Insert line break here, which MySpace will not allow)
Linda Eder kicks ass. I saw her live here in San Diego. Best singer I've ever seen live. Drop dead gorgeous in person.
Movies
I still think The Wizard of Oz was the best movie ever.
Honorable mentions: The Shawshank Redemption, 300, Father Goose, Patton, The Philadelphia Story (No, not Philadelphia w/Tom Hanks, the funny one), A Few Good Men, Snatch, The Godfather, Rocky, The Sixth Sense, The Breakfast Club, and of course, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I'll add more as I think of them.
Television
Fox, History, Scrubs, Speed, Mythbusters, Glenn Beck, sometimes even TCM.
Books
The Right Stuff is the best non-fiction book ever! I'm currently re-reading Bring On The Empty Horses by David Niven (update: done). Great stories in there about the early days of Hollywood. Also, anything by Michelle Malkin. Current reading: The Chronicles of Dubya by Frank J. Fleming. Funniest book ever! I'm passing copies around my office.
Fiction: Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. Johnathan Kellerman. Dean Koontz. The whole series of Brothers in Arms and The Corps by W.E.B. Griffin.
Heroes
Chuck Yeager, Golda Meir, Seabiscuit, Jimmy Stewart, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Helen Keller, Alvin York, Ronald Reagan. And this badass Marine!
While we're talking about heroes, could we mention the people who managed to pull this shit off? They went to the fucking moon!
Oh, quit griping at me that I never update my page. I'll get around to it. Tomorrow.
I'm a retired sailor. You probably figured that out by now. If you want to know me, read my blog entries. [Content warning] They're incredibly disjointed and are probably indicative of a deranged mind.
I'm originally from TX, was stationed in San Diego, but am now back in TX.
I joined the Navy in 1988 because I needed a job, I wanted to get in shape, and I wanted a new start.
Now, I climb masts on all the ships here in San Diego. Not a good job for someone with acrophobia.
I play guitar...that's me in the background of the pic. Never made it rich and famous, but had some fun along the way.
Oh, almost forgot. I was famous for 22 minutes back in 2000 when I appeared as a contestant on Win Ben Stein's Money. Ben kicked my butt in the final round, 8 to 6.
He's a smart guy and was very nice to me. On a side note, at my first command, I jumped out of airplanes...While they were FRICKING FLYING! Scared the hell out of me!
Who I'd like to meet: Thomas Jefferson, Winston Churchill
Oh, did you mean living people?
Frances Ruffelle,
Emperor Darth Misha I
He's at www.nicedoggie.net
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Larry the cable guy, Pres. Karzai of Afghanistan. Michelle Malkin. And of course, Mary Katharine Ham, because she's just smokin' hot!
This vid should fall under the categories of heroes, but my left column is getting long.
So you're out for a day at the races. Everyone knows who's going to win. But the little horse with an attitude just throws a wrench in the gears.
I always figured that if Frances had a girl, she'd be ugly, boring and untalented. I called that one wrong! No, not the horse. Look below...
In this episode of the STRANGERADIO Nation, Shane covers the Ft. Hood massacre with the TRUTH, and not what the majority of media is spewing. A sound clip that backs the fact that the shooting is an act of jihad, and not an isolated incident. Also, Joseph Moshe, a 50 something bio scientist was majorly assaulted by Obama's goons, because he has information about the poisons that this administration is trying to force on us where the H1N1 lie is concerned. PLUS, a Brand new Jewish Perspective with our friend Eric Rangell. A do not miss show!! May G-d Bless our Country!!!
Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army major suspected of killing 13 people and wounding 29 others at Fort Hood, worshipped at the same mosque as two of the 9/11 terrorists.

On this show I discuss how the ABC hit V and it's ANTI Obama message. Victory in NJ, NY, VA prove the death of conservatism is greatly exaggerated. GUEST: Breibart's Big Government Columnist PATRICK COURRIELCHE. Patrick broke the story about the Obama administration using the National Endowment of the Arts for their own political gain and to push their Marxist agenda. Plus DC of Chimpsy's Real American will join me for a post election wrap up.
"Will you walk into my parlor?" said the spider to the fly; "Tis the prettiest little parlor that you ever did spy. The way into my parlor is up a winding stair, And I have many curious things to show when you are there." "Oh no, no!" said the little fly, "to ask me is in vain; For who goes up your winding stair can never come down again."
