"Best Little Whorehouse in Texas - Stage version, not the film. They took out two of the best songs for the screen version, just so Dolly could squeeze in two of her own. *ka-ching* Of newer movies, I have a guilty love of Enchanted. I have seen…"

DLBK replied to SailorToTheMama's discussion 'Forward thinking'

Profile Information

About Me:
I'm a struggling Petty Officer 3rd class, hoping to make 2nd this next time around. In addition to trying to keep the radar running, (now that I'm officially off of Food Service duty), I strive to keep my family clean, happy, and under a roof. And occasionally throw a story or poem down onto paper, though that usually falls after Guitar Hero...
What's something about your kid(s) that makes you happy?
Max - His impromptu songs and raps
Morgan - His made-up stories
Finn - His new smile
What about contemporary parenting culture pisses you off the most?
Blaming society/teachers/television for your own lazy parenting.
Who were you BEFORE you became a parent?
I don't remember. I think it had something to do with live theatre and power tools.
What are you nerdy about?
Most recently: Steampunk: my newest obsession
Comic books, video games, fantasy novels, Dungeons and Dragons, Musical Theatre, internet comics
Favorite music/books/TV/movies:
Abney Bark, They Might be Giants, Tom Waits, Ben Folds, MYTH adventures, Shannara Series, Tank Girl, Red Dwarf, Dr. Who, Local Access Commercials
OPTIONAL: Do you have a sex life?
Yes Indeedy...:D
