Music I listen to

oh... all sorts. Casting Crowns, Evanescence, FooFighters, Fireflight, Sarah McLaughlin... most current alternative (my Sirius radio with a gazillion channels is usually on just one, the alternative channel)... some country of the "outlaw" variety (used to go to Willie and Waylon concerts when I lived out west), can tolerate a few rap types if the lyrics actually have some meaning to them and are performed in a known language, no death metal or any screamed lyrics...sorry, if you cannot understand what they are saying, then it has no purpose other than noise.

Another good group to check out? Newsboys...a Christian Rock band that produces some amazing music...yes, I think you would love em..


Current new favorite...check them out please...
Silversun Pickups

Great musically... really fun to watch too. A little known treasure type band...

Movies I like

ahh..Movies I like? Well... I have seen each and every James Bond film, since I was a little guy seeing Dr. No. I do see some action films, but the plot has to be worth the special effects. I have a long fondness for The Dogs of War, with Christopher Walken, as I knew some of the people who that was about--good men who were willing to risk their lives to free people. I have another fondness for quirky British movies, from Monty Python and the Holy Grail to Shawn of the Dead. Yes, I have one of those warped senses of humor. and of course...Braveheart will always stir me...being half Scot does that I guess. Not that I have recently painted myself blue and chased Brits about...but there are always these nagging thoughts..lol.

This being where you can find out stuff about this person who's profile you were unlucky enough to stumble into. be afraid...be very afraid. Or not. up to you.

Well Hello there again

Hello and welcome to November Folks...
Yes, tis that time of year again...the clocks have changed, ruining my chances of
ever seeing the sun again until spring...darn that time change thing. I go to work in the
dark, get out work just at sunset now, so I develop my kinship with the moles and bats,
living in eternal darkness....booo! I hope you all survived Halloween and now we look
forward to Thanksgiving...hmmm, two holidays devoted to proving just how many calories
one person can consume in one day...lol. In between though is a holiday many overlook,
but should not. Veterans Day...Please, take time this month to thank every man and
woman in uniform for their service, and thank those who served in wars past for
the freedoms we take for granted. Make this a MONTH long effort...not just a single
day. Their service is far too important to give them only a single day of rememberance!
God Bless

Hoping all of my friends are doing well..and for those that are doing a bit less than well,
please let me know. I do care about each of you, and I do spend time in prayer and concern
for anyone who asks... no, Im not going to "force" my beliefs on you...but ya never know,
hang around me long enough and you might catch it... Remember, you may not believe in God,
but He believes in you...no matter what the state of your heart or life. If you have a chance
and are open to it, listen to the Newsboy Video I posted in my music i listen to..."Stay Strong"
For you and I run for the prize that lies ahead...

Those that feel up to it, I would love to hear from ya....how your week was and all!

hugs from NH....tom

NEW PICS in my Images Folders
go to "view my images" and open the Fall 2009 folder to see where i have been lately
I was sorta asked to go take some more from around here...so go check em out..image

Who am I? well.. Not quite a space alien...but sometimes a total curmudgeon! lol
so...at the request of no one in particular, here is stuff about me...
Engineer/CNC programmer/Toolmaker (yeah, i bounce around from one to another part of my "job description" as whim strikes my employer) . My favorite part of my job though is design work, which I do mainly in Solidworks, a fantastic 3-D modelling
program. The welcome greeting above was done in SW by me in about 2 or 3 minutes, and then rendered with its
powerful tools...its a lot of fun working in that program.

Living fairly happily in a smallish town in western NH sharing my house with an oversized malamute who believes it is his house. If you want to see either my malamute or the area I live in...go to my images folders. I slowly am putting some of my 13 million photos up onto the profile.

Political junkie (no kidding) with a strong belief that the less government we have, the more freedom each person has.

Christian, who has been overseas to do mission work with orphans, and domestically doing mission work with bikers and prisoners.
(Now, alas, doing less than I should for others and missing the work) image

Lover of alternative music who is connected hard to my Sirius radio. image

Player of WOW (World of Warcraft) when I can (usually a night elf if that makes sense to you...) . Its an addictive game that is seemingly endless. Yes, perhaps time to go to rehab for Warcraft...lol. After all, I even purchased the vile versions of Mountain Dew that featured WOW on the outside...that shows a serious problem I believe..lol.
Dilbert.com
As for the pictures in my "images" folders. Yes, those are photographs I took. I have dabbled in photography for ...ahem... a long time. Even went to Goddard College in Vermont for an intensive education in the subject from some extremely talented people. Not saying that I by osmosis became extremely talented (I am not...I would love to have the vision of an Ansel Adams or Ed Weston...ah well), just saying that I do know more than how to push the button and all.

From a recent trip around my state... yes, things like this are everywhere, if you just look
More photos are being rotated into and out of my Images Folders all the time...keep looking..

Yes, I am a carnivore...happily so. All these centuries of us climbing to the top of the food chain and we are supposed to just eat veggies? hmmm, I don't think so. Okay, I will admit to enjoying Amy's Organic veggie lasagna...and I take Kashi veggie stuff to work for lunches....but get your hands away from my steaks or I will bite! grrrrrrr

Oh yes, i do enjoy my fishing.when i can that is. we have nice trout fishing around here
Dilbert.com
Dilbert pretty much explains my life... I have always suspected that he is a coworker, even if I know he isn't...or maybe he is...hmmmm, there is that guy who wanders around with a coffee cup all day, taking notes....i wonder?

    Good evening Tom! I hope you had a nice day. We went shopping for a new bedroom set for my sons. It will be in next Tuesday. Their room will look sharp. Smile. We are not getting the dream house on purpose. After much thought.... despite my hubby's job being stable, we just think it is too much money to spend in a recession. We will buy our rental home and add on to it - giving hubby a big shop and making the house to over 3000 sq. foot (currently it is 2200 sq. foot) - and turning it from 4 bedroom/2 bath to 5 bedroom/3 bath. The house is 7 years old so it is pretty, modern and it is close to everything in a good neighborhood. :) So, don't be sad for me - this was our decision and it is a good thing, for the best. The house is not quite as magnificent as the other one, but it is quite nice and better than average. It was a beautiful day here. No complaints on our weather.

    Hugs,

    Viv

    Hi Viv...
    yes, not spending money in the face of an unknown recession is called wisdom... and it sounds like you will have a great house anyways, without putting your family at deep risk.

    good thinking!

    hugs from NH...tom

    Hi Tom, sorry to hear that it's raining where you are...I'll hope that you don't grow those mushrooms back lol...We've been really lucky so far with not having a major snowfall yet...we've only had one really bad day, where it was freezing rain for awhile but it didn't really amount to anything...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we continue this good weather...lol.. I know, a pipe dream...hope your weekend continues to be great! Take it easy my friend!

    Warm Hugs

    My weekend started out nice. Thurs night I went and had a hour massage and Fri I had a spa pedicure and manicure lol so no complaints here. I work later today and tomorrow morn so nothing planned for the weekend. But I agree about the job thing.............better to have one then not have one. We were going to see Sandra Bullock and Tim MaGraw's movie Blind Side last night but it was sold out so we'll go another day. Have fun this weekend and hugs to you from Va
