I am an unapologetic overgrown teenager, suffering with a unique case of Peter Pan syndrome I am over 50 (Yep), if its a problem its yours, not mine--well it is mine too. I wish I were as athletic and man cute as I was at 21, but I still look great for one born in my timeline, haha, AND I have a knowledge of life, most of you wish you had! LOL!
I am Here for:
Leo Laporte got me here, and I am a tWit. I also am here to occasionally listen to and sometimes play eclectic kinds of music,, talk about music, sports, politics, movies, keep up on tech things,pop culture of now and of the past , to talk about whatever YOU want to talk about as long as you can put up with my babbling. and I can put up with yours <g>. To see if people of all ages can have normal conversations with people of my timeline, and not think it's weird, actually i'll prolly think YOU are weird :) and most importantly--to kill time,observe and be involved in whatever/whomever I am interacting with/about.I have opinions that I dont mind sharing. I have little to no use, other then exposing hateful and divisive people of any age, so if you are that way,It's best for you to keep on walking!
Hobbies:
Baseball (NY Mets) football (New Jersey Jets) hockey (NY Rangers) Bball (NY Knicks), I love listening to a variety of music, I am into reading comic related TPBs and buying cool ( I think they are anyway) pop culture statues etc. Tech toys, photography, updating my blog when I feel the need. http://robintheboywonderingwtf.wordpress.com/

House, Smallville, Boston Legal are the current ones. and older series --Star Trek, TNG, Twilight Zone,George Reeves Superman, Batman: the animated series, not that adam west one as much, that was silly, but cool for its time,and too many more to list now ..maybe later
Favorite Music:
From the peerless Beatles to Bach- Ella Fitzgerald to Pink Floyd. Dave Brubeck to Mozart, Eric Clapton to Oscar Petersen, Steve Winwood to Beethoven, Rolling Stones-John Williams, Simon and Garfunkel-Elton John and so much more. I am no fan of hip hop or country music. I "get" hip hop and what its saying. it just does not speak to my musical soul. Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson are my only country music itch. I have an open mind when it comes to music, I am not saying it is a big opening :P
Favorite Books:
Anne Rice(she is kinky :X) , James Michener, 70s-80s stephen king, Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter it still holds up today in the message it conveyed. and my favorite short story ever was called "flowers for algernon" by Daniel Keyes- it just touched me when I read it in H.S. And of course Batman and Superman comic books, I learned more science, and enhanced my vocabulary more from that than any of the education I received from the NYC Board Of Education If they had math in those comics, I might have actually turned out smart :P
I Love:
Loving, being loved, hanging out with my family, some of my friends, Playing with my tech toys, listening to music, watching my favorite sports teams actually WIN,Freshly ground & brewed coffee, finding that perfect shot with my digital camera, contemplating my navel, watching the wheels go round and laughing out loud at something funny.
I Hate:
Anyone that inspires hate, with words, deeds and examples .sadly we never run out of those people. I really have zero interest in reality TV shows, I view those programs as major part of the dumbing down of society. yea I can be snobby. lol
