: About Me

I am a twenty-something wanderer enjoying a some-what gypsy lifestyle across the fair country of America. I have lived a lot of places and loved a lot of people, but there's no settling down in my foreseeable future. I have found the love of my life, but luckily he likes to wander as much as I do.

I consider myself an amateur expert on the punk rock underground and the subversive, sometimes dangerous subculture of neo-Nazi skinheads. My heart is close to the punk rock underground I grew up in, and my mind struggles to wrap itself around the neo-Nazis and other fanatics of hate in this world.

My tastes in music and my religious/political beliefs are eclectic and conflicting. You will just as easily find me throwing back a beer at a dirty underground club while some as-yet-unknown punk band shreds on a makeshift stage or sitting with a nice glass of Riesling listening to some Frank Sinatra.

I am a reservist in the United States Marine Corps and damn proud of it, too. You can find me getting dirty with the boys one weekend a month and two weeks a year in our nation's beautiful capitol.

My passion is ...

LIFE! Living it, experiencing it...writing about it.

I know too much about ...

The American Neo-Nazi movement and punk music.

My parents always told me ...

to do my chores!

My childhood ambition ...

To become a prolific author of novels.

My favorite memory ...

The moment I realized I had found my soulmate.

Why I write ...

I write because I have to, I hope to touch people, open their eyes and make them think, but even if I never publish a novel, I will be writing, because I have to.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Reading:A Lot of Stephen King/listening to: Reel Big Fish

My first job ...

Oh, the horrible flashbacks! WHY!?! I worked at Wendy's (a fast food joint)

My best moment ...

When the drill instructor who was toughest on me told me she was proud of me after I had earned the title of US Marine.

My inspiration ...

The little things, the small moments, those things that we take for granted but are really the reason why any of the "big" things matter.

Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends BBC versus American television

5 of 6

As of late, I have become a bit of a British sci-fi geek, which means I've grown to love several British actors, and as a result, have become a bit of a BBC geek in general. No one will argue if you say that British television and American television vary greatly, but what are the real differences? The important ones? Over and over again on American television, we see the same thing, and it never occurs to any of us that it is wrong, or even different. While taking in British television I have noticed some drastic differences, that don't only show a different "taste" in humor and drama, bu...
