In life we all have an unspeakable secret, an irreversible regret, an unreachable dream, and an unforgettable love. - D. Marchi

I like my whiskey, and I like my music -- loud in the car, in my home, and anywhere else I can get by with it. Although I should be buried in the 60's and 70's music, the 80's and early 90's music is my favorite of all. I have 40 gigs of .mp3s on both my desktop and laptop computers, and some of my favorite artists and bands are:

Dave Matthews Band

Evanescence

Sarah MacLachlan

Prince

Seal

Don Henley

Tom Petty

Dire Straits

Nora Jones

Eva Cassidy

Madonna

The Pretenders

Sting

Neil Young

Marvin Gaye

Joe Sample

Steely Dan

I love dogs - of all kinds, but I keep competition hunting beagles. (Yes, I hunt, and I'm a decent shot.) I'm a voracious meateater; I like my steaks cooked blackened outside and bloody inside. Many times my meals will consist of only meat, chicken or fish. I don't care for sweets, but will indulge in ice cream occasionally. I love my cigarettes and booze in the evenings, but rarely drink before 7 pm. I'm a lousy housekeeper, but my kennels are spotless. When I'm on a project, I stay on it to the exclusion of everything else, including sleep. I love to see things through the lens of a camera - after it has come off the camera. I'm always surprised by a nuance or detail I didn't catch in the viewfinder. I'm hardly a professional, but it doesn't stop me from doing it.

I love humor of any kind, but I've grown more cynical in my later years. My pet peeves - apathy and ambivalence. Love or hate...pick one. Typical Scorpio perspective, I suppose.
