I enjoy my weekly BNI business group meetings to drum up more business! Seriously! Also -
ebaying, web design, going to the YMCA, coffee shops, the local bike trails and river walk, going to support very busy ever growing arts community here in Columbus, CSU is known for it's fantastic Schools of the Arts (Physical and Performing Arts). There are several good performance theatres, museums, and gallery shows all over this place. You wouldn't first picture Columbus, Ga. as being an Artsy Fartsy Place, but it very much is so. Other interests: Volunteering for several local events. Some are to raise cancer awareness, others are aimed at supporting local soldiers and their families. (The annual "God Bless Fort Benning Event") I caught the volunteer bug way back in 1996 when the Atlanta Olympics chose Columbus, Ga. as one of it's venues. They had to have tons of free help. I guess I was put into someone's volunteer name pool database, because these days, all kinds of organizations send me mail and stuff. Sometimes I say ...."heck...why not!"
I also love spending time with my sister's family and
taking my loving nieces shopping, or around town....you know, quality uncle time! (I Don't have my own kids!)That's always a BIG Part of my schedule!
Music
You can't pin me down to just one genre.
In the 60's, as a kid, I loved the British Invasion Groups.
In the 70's, I loved whatever you threw at me. From "Leapy Lee" to "ELO", But the 80's is where I made my stand as an alternative band person.
I enjoyed DJ-ing for the alternative music college radio station KTEQ 91.3 FM Rapid City, SD. (Sadly, it's off-air at the moment) Fav's back then include: "The Fleshtones", "Proof of Utah", "THE THE", "Violent Femmes", "B-52's", "Devo", "The Smiths", "The Plimsouls", plus many more! Then the 90's I backed off a bit with my New Age, and Celtic craze. These days it's Traditional Jazz, Drum and Bugle Corps, (I used to play a trumpet and a bugle) and a mix of good pop tunes that I hear my nieces playing in the car! Sometimes I catch myself nodding my head in rhythm with their hip hop tunes. I can't help it if I look stupid doing it.
Speaking of Music...
Here's
Jen Woodhouse!
She's Awesome!
Go see her myspace music page.
She's one of my myspace friends!
Look above and go see some Videos I made of Jen under "View My Videos" below my Bobblehead Profile Pic.
I "Interviewed" her!
Movies
"A Clockwork Orange", "Eraserhead", "Office Space",
and whatever's not rented yet at 11:00 pm at Blockbuster.
I watched a couple of DVDs recently!
I thoroughly enjoyed Jenna and James' intelligent dark humor! For me, It was just the ticket!
I recommend Lollilove to everyone!
I also picked up Meredith's new DVD!
Maybe it's just me, but I'm beginning to notice a disturbing pattern with Meredith!
Perhaps an intervention is necessary!
Television
NBC's "The Office" is the best show in human history,(Not an opinion but a fact, so it's not up for debate), "My Name is Earl", "Scrubs", "Seinfeld" reruns, TLC's "Trading Spaces", and "Animal Cops" on Animal Planet. FOX NEWS.
Atlanta Braves Baseball on Cable,
Local Cable Access City Government Channel. Yes that's right. I have an affinity for city planning. It's like watching sports, to see how the city government can use Eminent Domain to shove back it's own unsuspecting constituency from their property. It's almost like football, except the city team always wins. I hate it, but you just have to stay in-the-know. As Pam Beesley says in "THE OFFICE": " ....It's like squishing a spider under a book...........it's gonna be really gross, but I have to look and make sure that it's really dead......." (Email Surveillance episode)
Speaking of Television: I'm making a list of Dwight-isms
in my Blog for Dwight K. Schrute. See my Blog on Dwight and leave a comment if you wish. Link is on the upper right of this page!
Speaking of "THE OFFICE"
I made some pics in Adobe Photoshop for you "DUNDERHEADS" (Office Fanatics) to freely share! Spread the love!
Oh! Photoshop is the Dope Daddy of Software in my PC! I love it! You won't go wrong installing it! Anyway Here's my Office Pics!
Dwight has a Bobble!
I think Pam deserves her own Bobble!
Mmmmmmmmm, Mixed Berries Yogurt!
(Sorry Jenna, Bobbles are normally short and stubby! Not you!)
I made several different sizes! This
smaller one seems to work in myspace better!
Oh, I see that you spell Beesly - Beesley sometimes, especially in your myspace address so.... No one knows which one is right!
Looks like Pam was right about the two candy bars!
The secret is out on DWANGELA!
F A Q: Note to a of my fellow "DUNDERHEADS" (That's a compliment!)
Here are a few answers to some of my most Frequently Asked Questions from my recent myspace vistors:
I use "Adobe Photoshop" for Image Creation.
I use "Paint Shop Pro" for Image Screen Captures from Media Sources or from the Web. (Google Images is a great source for stuff!)
I then import the Image Captures into Photoshop where I create, edit, airbrush, etc. the pics.
I use Paint Shop Pro's "Animation Shop" to make Animated GIF's out of my Adobe creations. (Like the Bobbleheads)
Yes, I recommend buying and installing these programs! They're great fun!
Yes, I have way too much free time!
Yes, I've helped to raise kids. (Not my own, but my former long term live-in girlfriend's kids.)
Yes, I work for a living.
Yes, I still have a life.
I just manage my hobbies so that I may be able to "myspace" with you my OFFICE PEEPS!
I'm so happy you're on my page! Please drop me a line anytime! "I'll leave the light on for ya!"
Like my Lemons?
Me and my buddy Beege at the Improv!
The big 27 for him!

More Lines for Madge Please!!
Books
These days, anything to do with ancient philosophy, history, culture etc. Greek History, (I love Greek), Roman History, and Egyptology Studies for some reason. Japanese
Culture. Do-it-Yourself Books. HTML code, Aircraft Maintenance Update Directive manuals. "Struwwelpeter" by Heinrich Hoffmann .....kidding!
Heroes
Eve Tidwell
EVE ROCKS!
YOU GO GIRL!
But nobody puts heroes in perspective like the great
American philosopher Dwight K. Schrute! Mr. Schrute once said: "A hero kills people, people that wish him harm.
A hero is part human and part supernatural.
A hero is born out of a childhood trauma, or out of a disaster that must be avenged!" ....."We all have a hero in are heart!"
Visit my Dwight K. Schrute Blog for more spiritual, life changing quotes from the eloquent Mr. Schrute.
Dot Richardson. She's the greatest legend in Women's Fast Pitch Softball history! She spent years taking and building the name of Women's Softball from obscurity to such lofty heights that the sport became recognized internationally! She also achieved other life goals. She became an orthopedic surgeon! However, she was so respected as a former softball legend that she was asked to temporarily resume her softball career just long enough to hang on for the first ever women's softball tournament in the Atlanta Olympics! The Olympics wouldn't have been the same without the sport's biggest star! And she was the driving force of the team! She trained and played for many months. Meanwhile, she still practiced surgery during the Olympics to keep her skills sharp at the "Hughston Clinic"
(now known as The Hughston Sports Medicine Othopedic Hospital) with founder, and inventor of the science of "Sports Medicine", Dr. Jack Hughston. She maintained her medical requirements at the Clinic, while at the same time, she helped her TEAM USA go on to win the Olympic Gold Medal! Wow! What a coincidence that her big dream in life to play in the Olympics, and an incredible dream opportunity position for any aspiring orthopedic surgeon (Working at the The Hughston Clinic)would both be realized at the same time, in the same town! Both the Olympic Softball Venue and Hughston Clinic are in my hometown, Columbus, Georgia. How convenient for her to live out her dream! 2 birds with one stone!
More Heroes:
JOSH LESTER, KYLE CARTER, J.T. PHILLIPS, and the rest of the COLUMBUS NORTHERN LITTLE LEAGUE, Columbus, Georgia!
Let's see, Columbus, Georgia invented Coca Cola, is the home of the AFLAC DUCK, and now this!
Little League World Champs! Pretty awesome guys! You're in our new Hall of Fame list!
Columbus, Georgia Northern Little League is the 2006 Little League World Champions!!!
Woooo Hooooooo!!!!!
GO NORTHERN LITTLE LEAGUE!
Hi!
I'm Gary Dunn, I'm 47. Single. (That's not a typo!)
Yes....that's right, very single. But happily settled! Very long story. Maybe someday I'll put up a blog to explain. (or maybe not, It's boring) I'm currently a Rental Consultant, a former owner of a small local Web Development Company, former Aircraft Mechanical Contractor, and Veteran of the USAF.
Okay......yawn......I'm boring myself talking about me!
Let's get to the real reason for this page:
I am a huge "DUNDERHEAD"!
That's the word I re-coined to mean: fanatic of the Hit TV Series NBC's THE OFFICE!
At first, when I created the term to describe fellow Office Fans, people seemed a bit insulted when I called them a Dunderhead. However, I continued to use the term for months. My good friends caught onto it. We "Dunderheads" left messages, comments, & blogs all over myspace. It wasn't really until Angela Kinsey picked up the torch, and adopted my term that "Dunderhead" finally became the true official term for "Office Fan". Like "Trekkies" are to "Star Trek", and "Deadheads" are to "The Grateful Dead", we Office Fans now have an Official name. And we like to spread the Office Love here in "Dunderland"! (Yup, that's one of mine too.)
So it's my bound duty as founder of the Dunderheads to spread the OFFICE LOVE throughout myspace and to ask you all to help me do the same!
I love to send out Photoshop gag pics to the Office Cast's myspace pages! They seem to enjoy them, so I'll keep making more. I made some pics in Photoshop for you "OFFICE" fans that I've displayed here, and also inside my "VIEW MY PICS" section. Feel free to share them! When I Google the web, I noticed that my photoshops seem to turn up all over the place!(Not just myspace). Some of the ones that have popped up everywhere are "iDwight", "Peeple", and "Wizard of OF-fice" to name a few.
I'm happy you all enjoy them! It's flattering, cuz I'm just an amateur hack!
Thanks for stopping by my page!
Don't forget to click above to "VIEW MY PIC" go to my pics!
It's because I'm running out of room on my page for pics!
Please subscribe to my blog also! All my latest stuff goes in there! Plus Office related information!
Be sure to help us "DUNDERHEADS" spread the OFFICE love around myspace! We need to help NBC climb up the ratings ladder! If only more people knew about THE OFFICE!
SPEAKING OF DUNDERHEADS!
MY FELLOW OFFICE FANS ARE THE NICEST PEOPLE YOU'LL EVER MEET ON MYSPACE! INTELLIGENT WARM FUNNY AND MUCH MUCH MORE!!
I WAS SO PLEASED TO MEET THEM IN PERSON HERE IN THIS PHOTO:

these awards every year!

What's that word Jim and Pam made up for when they have a Thing stuck in their shoe? Well.....
Scarn,..........Michael Scarn!
Michael Scott was a big hit at the 80's Party!
Too bad Pam kept knocking down the ceiling tiles!
And now a word from our sponsors:
More important sponsors:
Wait.....so there were other famous Jim & Pam's?

HOW 'BOUT ANOTHER MICHAEL SCOTT QUOTE:
Michael: "Am I gonna tell them? No, I'm not gonna tell them, I don't see the point in that! As a Doctor, you would not tell a patient if they had cancer!"
MORE?...SURE..
Michael pretends to Jan that he wasn't aware that she was trying to reach him:
"I didn't get both of your messages!" ~ Michael to Jan
In reference to his staying with the Scranton Branch employees:
"I'm going nowhere!"
"You know, the three of you always work together....like a string quartet" ~ Michael to the Accountants in the Deleted scenes of THE JOB episode.
OKAY, ONE MORE QUOTE:
Here's Jen Woodhouse singing "Everything I wanted" by Jontha Brooke Live at THE LOFT 12/09/06 with my grainy digital camera! My apologies for the video quality. Jen is an awesome singer/songwriter! (she's doing a cover here).

I joined the Bacon Brothers Street Team this week and it is so cool! They have all these tasks you can complete to get points which you can spend in the online store on things like autographed CDs and meet & greet passes. I'm really excited!!
Hi Gary I am glad you had a great mother's day with your mom :) I sent mine flowers since we are states apart and couldn't see each other. I think it's cool that you know Rapid and we can talk about that grand old town I can't wait to hear how the chat goes with Melora H.
Hello Howdy Gary :D Thank you for the nice comment I have been on Facebook a lot lately I wish it would let us jazz up our pages like we do on MySpace. Anywho :D Your page is awesome as always. I didn't get a lot of Rapid City pics when I was home since they had just finished a blizzard but I will get some for you next time :) I do have a dinosaur hill picture if you ever need a piece of Rapid to look at LOL! How is your Sunday treating you?
I didn't know that! Thanks for letting me know! haha I'm glad you were there even though you technically weren't, it's fun to see everyone again :) Talk to you soon!
