    Timmy J.'s Interests
General

I love to travel. But, I really haven't been all that many places-- at least not yet.

Here are some of the pics from my trip to London with Jordan.

Here are some of the photos of Japan to see my pal Jim.

MusicI like just about everything. Homo-techno to Classical Baroque and everything in between.

MoviesMy two favorite movies of all time have to do with the random connectivity between people-- sometimes complete strangers. "Grand Canyon" and "Six Degrees of Separation" top my list.
Television

Television is great in small doses. I know this from professional experience.

myspace
Books

Almost done with "China Study"-- which talks about the longest nutritional study of the most subjects in history. Slow read, lots of science.

Also reading "Ecotopia", some kick-ass fiction about environmentalism in a fake country that was formed with Oregon, Washington and Northern Cali become their own country.

Halfway through "Last Light" a suspense novel set in Britain and Iraq about resource scarcity.

Still on my recommended list is the AMAZING book by James Howard Kunsler book, "The Long Emergency." I highly recommend it.

IMPORTANT | WARNING | DISCLAIMER | READ THIS : this is a space for networking with people I KNOW.

If I don't know you-- drop me a line and say hello. Meeting new people is a good thing. Nothing personal-- but FRIEND REQUESTS FROM RANDOMS WILL BE DENIED.

About me: I am not your average guy. I am self-confident, motivated, have direction, and am very happy doing my own thing. What I look for in other people is what I can bring to others: confidence, good looking, some smarts, humor, a limited amount of drama, and hopefully no bullshit.

I'm a blunt midwesterner by birth and upbringing. I love the weather here. I am full of random mostly useless knowledge. I like to travel, to meet new people, and learn new things. I'm an optimist with a painfully strong cynical streak. I have been told I'm painfully true to my astrological sun sign:

www.Bigoo.ws www.Bigoo.ws www.Bigoo.ws www.Bigoo.ws www.Bigoo.ws www.Bigoo.ws

That means I am loyal, stubborn, patient to a point, warmhearted, persistent, and loving. I am a grounded, reliable person and logical to a fault sometimes.

I found my rollover effect at pYzam.com, They're awesome!
Who I'd like to meet:

I have met many United States Senators, crop-dusted one of Oregon's governors, interviewed rock stars, a Time Magazine "Person of the Year", followed a Ghostbusters star through a Seattle Department Store, and made incredibly small talk with some b-list celebrities. Encountering enough ego in nearly a decade in television news has taught me that glamour is messy-- be careful not to step in it-- as it will positively ruin your shoes.

I guess I'd have to say that I'd like to meet anyone who knows who they are-- and still wants to be become a better person anyway. Self-confidence and a sense of place in the universe is a must. Wit, sarcasm, and the ability to hold your liquor also can be important as well. Understand something about current events, geography, or history. Be open-minded, have opinions-- the mental ability to articulate them is a big bonus.
