Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Classic Space, Star Wars, Castle, Pirates
My fascination with LEGO began... One day when I was about seven or eight my parents brought home #370 Police Headquarters. This was before the minifigs had arms and legs! They were still the coolest thing I'd ever seen and after I built the set I was hooked!
I once built... A three foot long spaceship with a prow like a sailing vessel and huge wings. It also had a small detacheable defense fighter which perched on the top rear of the ship. It was the biggest thing I'd built at the time and I kept it together for months. I only have two polaroids and some black & white print to remind me of its scale, but you can see the polaroids on my website.
Someday I will build... A Moonbase-style space outpost with a power station built over a mostly dormant volcano. The station proper will have giant trans-domes in all the available colors that are connected to the main bar, which will have an aquarium, a full kitchen, a Tiki-style lounge area, and a stage where virtual Tom Jones concerts are shown! Everything will connected by two separate monorail tracks, one for civilians, one for military and maintenance personnell.
LEGO is great because... The more you have, the more you can build! You just need to make the space for it, and that can be hard to come by!
LEGO fans are great because... They are smart, creative and positive people who love talking about their hobby as much as engaging in it!
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Hmm, lessee, Milton Bradley's StarBird and Big Trak, my Kenner Alien and Micronauts.
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Digital photography and voice acting.
My favorite Foods: Pretty much everything! Food is good, good food is even better!
My favorite Movies & TV: Futurama!
My favorite Artists: I love the Impressionists, but not much else.
My favorite Music: Del Amitri, Tom Jones, Beatles, Yo La Tengo, Teddy Pendergrass, Barry White, Ultra-Lounge, Frank Sinatra
My favorite Pets & Animals: My cats, Figaro & Dottie
Words which best describe me: Friendly, positive, funny. I'm a mimic and can sub-reference movies, cartoons, and Monty Python with almost no prodding whatsoever!
I love it when... I find old Lego sets at used toy stores for fabulous deals!
I hate it when... Is there anything worth hating, and is it really worth the energy? Well, sometimes, but let's just have a beer and be thankful for how lucky we are that we can have a beer instead of a tombstone!
I can't seem to get enough... Lego bricks!
I always seem to have enough... work time and never enough playtime!
I hope I always... leave people with a cognitive itch that they can't scratch.
I wish I could... bring the old gray, dark gray and brown back!
I could never... walk and chew gum at the same time. You'd either trip or bite your tongue!
I hope I never... mix V8 and tequila again!
I wish I hadn't... drank that fire water before I revised this profile!
In my craziest moments... They're ALL crazy moments!!
Believe it or not... Democrats and Republicans aren't all that different anymore! Voting these days is mostly a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils.
If I were super-human... I'd fly to the stars.
More & Less:
- more Love, less Hate
- more Knowledge, less Ignorance

Rules I try to live by:
- "There is no end, no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life." -Federico Fellini

- The best things in life aren't things.
Additional comments:
I tried to type a cool poem here, but the formatting just didn't work out. Check out "The Eagle" by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
