About me: I'm a bit sarcastic, a bit shy, a quiet thinker. I'm the type of guy who has a ring as his ring tone. I like to point out life's little oddities and joke about them Seinfeld style. I have a sitcom sense of humor...which means that some of my jokes need a little help from a laugh track...or else a moment to sink in. I graduated from WWU with a major in business and minors in English and accounting. I love the finer things in life...fine art, fine wine and fine women. I'm a big time movie geek/film snob. And I love to hike and camp.
Here are the questions that are asked on the show "Inside the Actor's Studio" and my replies:

And now for something completely different...
O' Canada, you are a place I must eschew...
I "film geek" all over this...
Who I'd like to meet: A lovely lady who is a meat eater...a dog lover (I'm allergic to cats)...not religious or at least not too religious (I'm allergic to Jesus)...knows the difference between "your" and "you're"...lives in Western Washington State...and can put up with a film snob. Hope to hear from you...
I'll close with a quote from a favorite movie of mine "Adaptation":
John Laroche: Point is, what's so wonderful is that every one of these flowers has a specific relationship with the insect that pollinates it. There's a certain orchid look exactly like a certain insect so the insect is drawn to this flower, its double, its soul mate, and wants nothing more than to make love to it. And after the insect flies off, spots another soul-mate flower and makes love to it, thus pollinating it. And neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking. I mean, how could they know that because of their little dance the world lives? But it does. By simply doing what they're designed to do, something large and magnificent happens. In this sense they show us how to live -- how the only barometer you have is your heart. How, when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way.
Good observation Holmes...Fortunately no labs were harmed in creating this crystal. However, whenever a lab dies, like in the movie the "Dark Crystal" ...it glows!

Your dog's head looks like an aardvark--or at least what I presume an aardvark to look like. Or maybe I'm thinking of an anteater. I have done no research prior to typing this...
