Movies
...I watch a lot of movies.
Television
Probably too much. But after working all day, nothing beats a beer and an episode of LOST.
Or mayber some HOUSE, BONES, or HEROS.
DEXTER is pretty kick ass, also.
And I love Cartoons! SIMPSONS, SOUTH PARK, & FAMILY GUY.
I blame netflix for SIX FEET UNDER, WONDERFALLS, & NORTHERN EXPOSURE.
Also I'm a big fan of the discovery, learning, & travel channels & food network.
Told you it was probably too much.
Books
I'm digging Chuck Palahniuk right now.
Also can't go wrong with Dan Brown, Jeff Lindsay, J.R.R. Tolkien, Matthew Pearl, and Steven King.
And for something a little different: Who Moved my Cheese?, Bhaggavad Gita, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, Sacred Contracts, Jung to Live By, Musicophilia, Creating True Peace, & Flow.
Heroes
Drummers: Mike Portnoy, Mark Zonder, Marco Minnemann, Danny Carey, Martin Lopez, Carter Beauford, Terry Bozzio.
Progressive metal CDs now available from my 2 bands, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ofdreamsandmadness"> OF DREAMS AND MADNESS </a>and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/crimsonskymetal">CRIMSON SKY</a>
What's up John! I'm sorry I don't keep in touch, life is really different down here and I'm STILL adjusting. How is everything? We need to jam the next time I'm back in CT!!
Hey man, hope you and the family had a great Easter!, it was a great one here. How did the drumming go today at the service? Had a great time Saturday night, see ya Thursday!
Hey man. Thanks for the birthday wishes. I miss you guys a lot. I'm sorry I haven't been in touch. Life has been busy and totally unrealistic for the past few months. I've lost a cousin, uncle, and a nephew (ten weeks old). I've been very distracted. I'll be up soon enough..we NEED to jam!!!
