About Me
I'm a Guy... I like tech toys, my music loud, my trucks exhaust short. I ride a motorcycle, not a tee-shirt. My home is cluttered, not dirty. I like hooters and I'm not talking about a restaurant. I like cars, Anime, Sci-Fi and action movies, a good horror flick is great too. I only date the opposite sex. My son tells me this short description makes me sound like a bit of a redneck, in some ways I am. That said I prefer the company of a younger, collage aged crowd who are still interested in the world around them.
Though I was born in Columbia, Mo., My parents divorced when I was young, my mother remarried and my step father worked in NASA tracking stations. Eventually my stepfather went to work for McDonald Douglas. I spent most of my grade school days in the deep south and the St. Louis area. as you can guess, we moved a lot. As a troubled youth I eventually came to live with my father in Ashland Mo, a small rural town 15 miles to the south of Columbia where I now live.
Books: I read a lot. As a youth I was a Sci-Fi junkie though most of my reading as of late is political or how to books. Some favorite Books: Atlas Shrugged - Bill, The Galactic Hero - Hammer`s Slammers - Modern Manners - Ringworld - Roadmarks - Robots of Dawn - The Hobbit/Lord of The Rings - The Man who Walked through Time.
Born: November 1957
Children: 2 boys, age 18 and 23
Common Nicks: Dadzilla, Wolfsong
Computers: As previously noted, I've toyed with these boxes for a long time. My newest chapter is the start of this web site and understanding web programing languages.
Despise: Bullies - Insurance forms - Large Split-Frame Multi-Meg Web Pages with Java - Second ex-wife - Taxes and other Government forms - Waiting in line anywhere.
Exercise/Outdoors: Bike riding and fishing, in that order.
Games: DOOM (what kind of pussy doesn't like DOOM?) - Final Fantasy 7 and 8 - Grand Turismo - Ridge Racer 4 - Point Blank - I'm really more of a first person shooter fan.
Gardening: Not really, other than a few tomato plants and a pineapple I haven't had much luck growing things. I keep trying, it keeps dying (that or the deer get it). It's a mystery that seems beyond my grasp.
Military Service: 3 Years as a 63N10 (Tank Hull Mechanic) in what was West Germany.
Movies: Ghost Dog - History of the World, Part 1 - Little Shop of Horrors (Steve Martin) - Lord of the Rings - Monty Python and the Holy Grail/Life of Brian - Mortal Combat - Snow Falling on Cedars - Star Wars - T2 - The Matrix - The Old Man and the Sea (Spencer Tracey) - The Rocky Horror Picture Show - and almost anything Japanese Amine or Sci-Fi.
Music: I'm a music junkie and listen to about everything, picking stuff here and there, it's good or it isn't and there isn't much in between. Mostly late 60`s to the latest Alternative choices and jumping tracks to hit Country now and then. Favorite performers: 311 - AC/DC - Aerosmith - Alanis Morissette - Big Head Todd and the Monsters - Bob Dylan - Bruce Springsteen - Collective Soul - Enya - Everclear - George Thorogood - Heart - Jethro Tull - Johnny Cash - Neil Young - Pink Floyd - Rage Against the Machine - Rush - Sammy Hager - Ted Nugent - The White Stripes - The Who - ZZ Top.
Pets: I like animals in general and prefer low maintenance pets. Cats are my favorite, dogs and fish follow. I like horses but don't trust them. One of the cool pets are ferrets, who are a lot like cats in temperament. I don't really get some folks attractions to birds and a big HELL NO to snakes.
Politics: I'm a fiscal conservative with a mixed bag of progressive and libertarian views.
Radio: Talk Radio and NPR, stations playing Hard Rock and Alternative together.
Relationships: I'm a two time surivor of marriage who hasn't given up quite yet. I have two sons and a small circle of friends I've tried to keep close over the years. Still available and looking for for Ms. Right
Religion: I am not a highly religious person in the sense of going to church or praying often. However I do claim to be a spiritual person in that I believe there is a God, and recognize the positive role of faith. I just don't claim to have certain knowledge who or what He/She/It is or really wants of us. I don't get the whole mystery thing either.
Smoking: I don't smoke and don't mind if people smoke, your lungs, your problem. The only time I do mind is first thing in the morning.
TV Favorites: Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Duck Man - Futurama - MST3K - Red Dwarf - House - South Park - Star Trek (love them all) - Space Ghost, Coast to Coast - The Red Green Show - Two Guys Garage
Work: For a large college textbook service

I've written a generous amount in the Usenet alt.support.divorce group. A Google groups search of ASD for Dadzilla or by my previous nick, Wolfsong will give you a much better feel for that story.
As to the website's name, I'm fond of Godzilla.
