Rikki's Interests
|
| General | I don't have any interests....mmmmm, duh! | | Music | Music, Music, Music...Ahhh yes. Well, Music has been the centerpice of my life. I started out dancing to Elvis, The Beatles, Temptations, The Jackson 5, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and The Monkeys when I was a little kid in the 60's. I started playing trumpet when I was in 4th grade, which is where I met my best friend, Will. Mr. Rumble was our teacher. Will or "Chilly Willy is my best friend to this very day.
We talk quite frequently. Anyway, I love music. I've worked in music for most of my adult life. I love Country, Rock, old school Punk, old school R&B, and Classical. I Hate Hip Hop, Rap, New R&B( most of it anywayl...). That about it. I've worked on a lot of Hip Hop and R&B records as a recording engineer in NYC and these artists(I'm using that term loosely) are pretty reprehensible people. Yea, I know a guy that actually got postol whipped at Daddy's House( that's puphy's studio) for not bringing a mix up fast enough for the "Clients". I HATE THOSE ASSHOLES!!!
Most of them anyway. Sorry, that's how I feel bassed upon what I have seen. Talib Kwalli Is a good man. I have a lot of respect for him, but not many others. They're just drug dealers and morons. I also respect M&M for what he has done to change since he's a parent, For his daughter. Anyway, I digress... | | Movies | I dreamed that I was in a movie with Woody Harrellson and Juliette Lewis, and lived-lol. I Love radical films. I like Classic films like Dr. Strangelove, Sparticus, The Shining, and Barry Lyndon. Can you tell me what the common thread which runs through all of these classic films? They were all directed by Stanley Kubric. Anyway, I love movies. I watch a lot of them during the winter months on the small screen. I like action movies, documentaries, horror/suspense movies, I love Japanese Animae like Ranma and Sailor Moon just to name a few. I really admire film makers, actors, directors of photography, cinematographers, Gaffers, the entire crew. I'd love to make a movie. I have yet to do so...maybe some day, but until then I'll just enjoy the work of the masters. | | Television | Under most conditions I don't watch TV unless I'm gettin paid-(he, he, he...)
However, on that rare occasion that I do watch the tube, I LOVE to watch:

Yea, I know... but I'm a pilot!), and anything from my growing library of DVDs. | | Heroes | Jesus, My Mom & Dad, My Brother David, The woman formerly known as my wife(Lori), Joey, Matt, My family Elders, All of my dear Friends & their Parents(y'all know who you are), Swifty, FRANK!, Wylee Coyote, Judy, DRC & Nancy, Sally, My cousin Hank & The Men & Women of the United States Armed Forces (not including their present boss nor any members of his present entorage), Dr. Ben Carson, Jimmy Carter, Thurgood Marshal, Ann Richards, Senator John McCain, Gov.

Oh Yea, Mario Andretti, Nikki Lauda, Mark Donohue, Jackie Stewart(The Wee Scott), Kenny Roberts, Jay Springstien, Michael Schumacher, Aryton Senna, Alain Prost, Mika Hakkinen, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jensen Button, Wendel Scott( for blazing the trail), Jeff Gordon(He rules the road courses because he's the best, in NASCAR that is), Enzo Ferrari, Dr. Fergie Porsche, Sir Issac Newton, Enrico Fermi, Albert Einstein, Dr. Werner Von Braun, Neil & Buzz, & Steve Jobb.

Rikki's Blurbs |
About me:
I am a good person. I am an honest person. I like to spend time working on my various projects which include writing songs and composing music, both country and rock and everything inbetween. I sing, play guitar (electric&acoustic), mandolin, and harmonica. I also work recording my music since I used to be(and still am occasionally) a recording engineer. Yea, I used to make a living doing that in NYC, but now I live in New England (Mass,Vt,NH area). I ski, hike, snowshoe, and generally run around. I'm not a GQ guy AT ALL. I shop at goodwill and Sally's Boutique out of choice and always have. I go to Sears for new stuff like Jeans and Carharts and always have since I was a lad. I like to go out three or four times a month drinking with my friends at the local road house. Occasionally I'll go out to eat mass amounts of sushi or Thai Cuisine. I like skiing with my nephew who lives nearby with my sister. I also like to work on mechanical projects like restoring and repairing 4X4's. I have a Toyota 4Runner project which I'm working on presently. I also like to work on electronics projects mostly in audio and video. I do some video productions independantly for myself and friends sometimes. I don't do too much of that since that is what I now do for a living and I don't bring too much work home with me. Unless, of course, it's something that I like a lot. Hence, I travel pretty extensively. I just got back from Vancouver, B.C., which is a place that I just LOVE!!! In fact a lovely friend from there told me about myspace. Thank you, Princes...lol
I work network sports and special events. I do Aerial Photography from jet helicopters, Rf Cameras, Coms, Rf Audio, Robotic Cameras, and I Mix Audio.
I do the MLB playoffs, Boston Marathon, AQHA Championships, and ESPN Countdown every year amongst other jobs. I move around a little bit.
In addition I do systems integration for production facilities with my company.
I'm a freelancer. Whatever, anyway, enough about work. I love animals of all kinds and like to take care of them. I grew up on and around farms so, I don't mind getting my hands and feet dirty. I like talking with my two young adults. I learn so much from them and they keep me honest, somewhat sane, and grounded. I owe them my life, because they gave me one. Unfortunately they do not live in my time zone, but thank God for unlimited long distance calling and cell phones-lol. My 17 year old daughter calls me at 1:00am when she's out and is getting bored. She also tells me about the guys that are interested in her. Yea, I'm truly blessed(Smiles). My 16 year old son and I talk a lot about small arms and aviation. He's been educating me about video games and I've been teaching him how to ski. They're comming up for Christmass next week. Anyway, these are some of the more important things in my life. The last mentioned are the most important. Hey, enough about me, what about you? I'd like to know...tell me, Please.

Who I'd like to meet:
Nice people who are interesting and have integrity. I also am always on the lookout for Country Musicians of great heart and talent( I need a fiddle player who can play Mandolin and a Piano player who can play B-3 and Pedal Steel) The search continues...Fellow Christians are always welcome. REAL Christians.
