"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Movies
My all time FAVORITE movie is: "Personally Yours" starring Valerie Bertinelli as Susannah Stanton and Jeffrey Nordling as Jesse Stanton.
Second favorite is: "The Notebook" starring James Garner.
Television
My TV is ALWAYS on the A&E channel. I love; Crossing Jordan - The First 48 - CSI Miami - American Justice - City Confidential - Cold Case Files and of course Flip This House!
Books
I love to read! My favorite author is Dean Koontz. This man can write mystery/horror like no other I have ever read. In fact I believe his novels to be better than King's. I have in my collection: Fear Nothing - Seize the Night - The Bad Place - The Voice of the Night - Midnight - Darkfall - The Taking - Shattered - Whispers - Watchers - The Door to December. And I just ordered the 3 Odd Thomas books: Odd Thomas - Forever Odd - Brother Odd. I hope to one day have every book he's ever written. I am a HUGE FAN! I am hoping the Odd Thomas books get me through the remainder of this winter though knowing me once I start reading them I won't be able to put them down and will probably finish all three in a week or two. HAhahaha.
James Patterson is another of my favorite authors and I think the best books he's written are: When the Wind Blows - The Lake House. Gotta love them flying kids!!!
ABOUT ME
Some of my interests are exotic parrots, fishing, skiing, penny slots at casinos, web design, capital punishment, I can tell you everything you never wanted to know about the death penalty (I own the second largest, most active death penalty website in the world), if I watch tv it is usually the A&E channel or true crime, prison documentaries etc. I love animals, dislike fake people, I can drink coffee right before bed and still sleep like a baby, I love iced tea and dislike alcohol. I am a cigarette smoker – ironically I use to be my county health dept spokesperson for their stop smoking program for a few years in NY, I plan on quitting again one day but today is out of the question and tomorrow isn’t looking to good either. I have never used drugs and try to distance myself from those who do.
Hmmmmm… is that enough for now? Would you like to know more? My friends say I am brutally honest and loyal to a fault, I guess that comes from living in NY for so many years(23 years on the island of long, haha), the people and culture rubbed off on me.
I have learned to never under estimate the impossible.
My WONDERFUL and AMAZING kids!
Who I'd like to meet:
Friends are the family you choose for yourself, these are my "friends".
