I do a lot of writing, some stories I'm trying to reinvent so as to make a Dio-Story of them. If I ever figure out how to get Yola to do what I want it to do,(y'know, work and be easy to understand and use) I'll post some of my short stories along with my Dio-Stories.

Currently being unemployed and without a car, I walk. A lot. Every now and again I'll drag a figure or two with me and try to snap their picture, but most of the time those shots don't come out too well because there's too much real world interferance in the back ground.

When I did have a means of transportation, usually it was equiped with a front differential and a transfer case. For those of you not mechanically inclined, that means a four wheel drive. I've enjoyed wheelin' for about the last ten years and have tried to make it to Moab, Utah, the Off-Road Mecca, as much as possible. I've build my last seven vehicles, Three full-size Chevy Blazers, three Jeep Grand Cherokees and a Chevy Suburbanator, from formidable stock vehicles to very formidable pieces of trail bashing bad-ass-a-tiv-ness.

Driving is also a bit of a hobby for me. I am a truck driver by trade, but I never thought of it as a job, but more of being a paid tourist. I had the office with the best veiws. I have seen more of this country and Canadia than I would have seen otherwise.

Music is a passion for me as well. Not just any music, but the best genre of music there is, from which everyone's favorite tanker is named; Heavy Metal. I've got several books that are refrenced to the history of Heavy Metal and how it dominates over ever other kind of music. I did play bass for a bit and tried a few bands out, but found out that it's hard to play for a long time due to the arthritis in my paws.

I try to get to the range as often as I can and throw some lead a defensless paper targets. Reminds me of time in the Marines when we practiced to defend the country from eight foot by eight foot cheesecloth squares with black consintric circles printed on them. Thank Dog that invasion hasn't happened yet!

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
