When I play Battlefield 2 Online I pretend I'm really THIS guy...

Unfortunately I'm actually THIS Guy...

Television Show's I've been a fan of at one time or another...

Hey, I was six years old during most of 1969! We had no MP3's, internet downloads, playstation 2's or gameboy advances. Just one Philips B&W Telly, with rabbit's ears antennae that sometimes worked & just ONE STATION (RTE) to choose from. Then all hell broke loose in the Summer of 1975, we were the 2nd family on our road to get a COLOUR TELLY & 3 new stations! Suddenly we were spoiled for choice, & our monochrome world was gone forever. Neighbours even came in to see the great new multimedia all colour attraction down thier end of Auburn Road. Consequently, most, no all of the 60's shows on display here are written to my memories hard drive in black & white (as I saw them in the 60's). They may appear outdated & twee now, but in 1969, they were the bee's bleedin knee's I'm tellin ya. Happy, happy memories from my parents living room floor...tis no wonder I'm a Television Man. Sure was'nt I there from the start (TV was first broadcast in Ireland in 1963).

Nowadays, I can sum up my favourite TV show's in a shortish sentence - Sponge Bob in the mornings, with the kids of course, eh ("I'm ready, I'm ready"). The Shield, Nip Tuck, anything on the Discovery Channels & last but not least at all, Six Feet Under...when American TV is as good as the later, it's the best. A TV drama that was deeply thought provoking, darkly hilarious & poignant every week without fail. The best drama on TV so far this decade, in my humble opinion. As Nate say's in an early episode "death is what makes life important"

The members of our Species that I admire the most of all...

(IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER) 1.Hans & Sophie Scholl, Incredibly courageous German student resistors to the Third Reich (executed by the Nazis in 1943) 2. Aung Sang Suu Kyi 3. Nelson Mandela - incarcerated for 27 years for doing the right thing, & he forgave his captors long before he was ever released. A Giant
among men & women...
4. Rick Rescorla - Decorated Vietnam War Hero & THE Hero in the Twin Towers on 9/11

I take a nice photo when the moment is just right (& I LOVE Digital Photography)

A moment captured, Atlanta Airport, Oct 2002. I'm proud of this one. I was just rushing towards the Departure Gate, & was stopped dead by the serenity & beauty this scene as I trotted by. Got Camera ready & took about four shot's. This one is by way the best one. Wonder who the guy in the seat was. He never knew I took a photo. I was able to capture the light of the sunset steaming through the windows with my trusty Canon G2, sans flash. He just set the picture off perfectly - the Lone Passenger, waiting for his connection, taking in the sunset.

I REALLY LIKE big extinct DEAD STUFF

Megalodon, the largest carnivorous shark that ever existed, (about 4 times bigger than a Great White) misses lunch by about 2 million years...(me in Aquarium exhibit in New Orleans, 2002)
