Traveling, photography, politics. I remember my wife and I were in Spain during the 2000 presidential elections and the fiasco that followed. Luckily I had voted early for Bush, but not being in America when news broke that the Goreacle was challenging the results was difficult. Anyway, I also love learning from shows on TV. What I really enjoy is talking with strangers. I've talked with people in most places we've traveled to, and it's interesting to listen to what they have to say. Doing that is more educational than any travel guide.
Music
Dance, House, Trance, 40s, 80s, The Gypsy Kings, Indie, New Age. NO RAP. Country in small doses, easy listening, classical, jazz, blues. I have an open ear to most kinds of music.
Movies
The Blade Trilogy, Nacho Libre, Batman (except for the ones with Val Kilmer or George Clooless), Underworld, both of them, Momento, The Usual Suspects, The Hunt for Red October, The Replacement Killers, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Trojan War, Better Off Dead, Crackers, Dog Day Afternoon, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and yes, Harry Potter.
Television
Adult Swim, Frisky Dingo, Bleach, Inuyasha, Robot Chicken, Law and Order, Take Home Chef, shows about UFOs, Bigfoot, Future Weapons, Mail Call, The Shield, Monster Quest. I don't watch any one show with regularity. I watch what's on.
Books
I've not read a book in a long time, so I can't say what I like.
Heroes
Those who defend this country. Those who act in this country's best interests. Those to protect our borders. Those who work hard but don't complain. Those with strong family values. Those who find terrorists and kill them (they DON'T have rights, the AREN'T subject to the Geneva Convention, they SHOULDN'T be subject to U.S. law). Those who work harder because they are without but don't blame anyone for their condition. Those who believe in INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Posted: 19 Nov 2009 11:00 PM PST - DAILY GEMS“There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadness, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us—to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds: 'The best is yet to be' ("Rabbi Ben Ezra," in Charles W. Eliot, ed., The Harvard Classics, 50 vols. [1909–10], 42:1103).”
We have to keep fighting the Fascist Democraps! They can and WILL be beaten in 2010, assuming there is anything left to win? Keep the faith! Keep fighting!! Keep buying guns!!!
How well do you speak Chinese? With the democrats and the republicans you get the same thing. But! Owing a country 900 billion dollars may be this governments undoing.
This is a day liken Pearl Harbor that will live in infamy as traitors to America with premeditation impose upon it's people a devastating blow against the country and the people.
I'm doing all I can with TWO Democrat U.S. Senators and a Democrat Congressman who voted AGAINST the Health Care "Reform" Bill in the House, but it's an uphill struggle all the way. I was afraid whne the Dems took over Caongress and afraid when Obama was illegally elected, now after watching BOTH Congress and Obama...."I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Enjoying a quiet weekend with the Lil Bits before another two weeks of travel Eddie...Wishing you all the best...Ron

There is one day that is ours. There is one day when all we Americans who are not self-made go back to the old home to eat saleratus biscuits and marvel how much nearer to the porch the old pump looks than it used to. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American. Love Vicki~ (David's Mother)
