About Me

About Me

CUZ I GOTS NO PLACE ELSE TA GO

Interests

Mental challenges via video games, and physical challenges via double dare.

What I'm Listening to

Punk rock and roll any any variation thereof mostly. My tastes vary from country & bluegrass, to big band & jazz as well. I like pretty much anything. Not bad rap, or hip hop hippopotamus anonymous my rhymes are bottomless.

Favorite Foods

anything grilled, all soups with fresh baked bread

What I'm Watching

None food related. Dexter, Rome, The Tudors, Band of Brothers, Planet Earth.
Anything documentary or history related.

Actually my favorite cooking show would be "Good Eats" with Alton Brown.

Tastiest Libations

Jim Beam on the rocks
or alternatively
Jim Beam straight from the bottle while sitting in a parked car

Favorite Website Online

www.drudgereport.com, www.cnn.com, www.foxnews.com

There would be more except almost everything is blocked at work :(

Most coveted item

A gas grill that gives you room to place wooden chips for smoking, or charcoal even for extra flavor

Wii Mii
