I chose science since I have always had a curiousity about the universe and the rules under which it operates.

I guess it started when I was a 10 year old lad who went to see Star Wars in 1977. The possibility of space travel and extraterrestrial life drove me to the public library on the weekends where I was spell bound by books on astronomy and the manned NASA missions.

It was only in my later years that I realized the other benefit of science geekdom....chicks dig eggheads.

Not at all. Although the tone of many of my electronic missives may suggest that this is the case, many, many current and past scientists have professed to being devote Christians. Dr. Alan Sandage, a pioneer in the field of cosmology, is an example. As a fundamentalist christian, he hasn't let his faith impact the integrity of his science which is a credit to him.

2002 but unfortunately, it was for my grandmother's funeral. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

jetblue having a sale now...I have only been to old san juan and loved it...

Next time you go, make sure to check out La Pargera....a lake in south PR where bioluminiscent organisms make the water glow at night. There is a glass-bottom boat tour that is well worth the trip.

2. do you like to travel ..and if so what countries have you visited...

I like to travel but I have been doing to much of it recently. I have been to:

Bahamas
Barbados
Canada
England
Ethiopia
France
India
Mexico
Pakistan
Puerto Rico


3. do you plan on marrying your girlfriend..if so ..when...
Yes. We plan to marry and it will likely be a Vegas wedding....no joke. Neither of us want the big ceremony and prefer to save that money for other things like a second house.

1)List your favorite genre of movie: action packed, drama, romance, comedy, horror, sci-fi, karate

I like them all but tend to gravitate towards sci-fi, cult films, and historical dramas.

2) What genre of music do you prefer to listen to

I love Bebop and Postbop jazz from John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Billie Holliday, Sarah Vauhgn, Thelonius Munk, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Farmer, Coleman Hawkins, Herbie Hancock, and Dave Brubeck to name a few.

I also enjoy 19th and 20th century classical music of Gustav Holst, Aaron Copeland, Modest Mussorgsky, Samuel Barber, Maurice Ravel, Ottorino Resphighi, and Morton Gould to name a few

I enjoy the Golden Age of rap including Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Jungle Brothers, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, 3rd Base, Brand Nubians, Ice Cube, the UBC's, and
Mc Lyte to name a few.

Lastly, I enjoy art/progressive/alternative rock from Genesis, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Porno for Pyros, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan, Filter, Stabbing Westward, Godsmack, Garbage, and Nine Inch Nails to name a few.

I have eclectic music tastes. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70365-flirt.gif[/img]


3) Who yuh hear chat bout me?

Mi here dat yuh head dry an dat yuh foot mawga. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

4)YUh eva drink cerassee(sp?) tea yet? If yes, yuh like it?

I am a coffee drinker but will try tea on occasion.

5) Ever ate sincle bible wid crackers?

No...I don't enjoy single bibles but prefer a bible sandwich with ham and cheese. The King James version does give me indigestion, however.

6) So was that a smile in your picture?

No...that look resulted from an early breakfast of King Vitamin cereal.

7)Participated in any sports in school?

Yes, little league baseball and junior chessmasters.

8) Would you consider being a male cheerleader?

To gain the attention of my high school crush, Pam :love: , I would have worn my underwear on my head.

9) If your life depended on it and you had to choose one of the following professions, which would you choose and why that particular one: male stripper,sheep herder,male stripper, american president, male stripper,correctional officer, male stripper,supermodel, male stripper or male stripper [img]/forums/images/graemlins/704555_dwl.gif[/img] ..Seriously, pick one

President - only because male strippers usually have to pay for their own dental plans.

10) Me know Sweetssop soona sk so mek me fuss har: Yuh can bake? Eva bake black cake?

I am useless in the kitchen. I have trouble with toast and can actually burn water.


I shall be back. Must attend to some work.

I went to Ethiopia in 1994 with my then thesis advisor. It was an exchange program involving Howard University and a consortium of educational institutions in Ethiopia. I travelled quite a bit and taught in front of classrooms for the first time. They students were very friendly and bright.

I to India and Pakistan on the same trip back in 1990. My high school friend was getting married in Bombay, India and asked me to attend his wedding. On the way, we stayed in Karachi Pakistan for a couple of days. Both nations were very poor at that time but their cultures were/are vibrant. Among the highlights were seeing the Gate Of India, the Taj Mahal, and observing the religious rituals performed on the River Ganges. I also visited several Hindu temples.
