Dogs, obviously. Basenjis, (a barkless African breed) are what I have, and I am a member of Basenji Rescue and Transport (BRAT). Travel- there's another no-brainer. Reading, writing. Aviation. Competition Obedience, Agility, Lure Coursing. Wish I could get into Schutzhund and Ring Sport but alas, can't have THAT kind of large, driven working breed in a truck (one day!).

Goodbye My Lady, The Road to Wellville, Brain Candy, At Play in the Fields of the Lord, Borat, Empire of the Sun, Convoy, Baxter, The Terminal, The Simpsons, The Last Samaurai.

Dropkick Murphys, Jalan Crossland, Whiskey Bards, Great Big Sea, Flogging Molly, Billy Joel, Stevie Nicks, CW McCall, Rancid, NOFX, Operation Ivy, Descendents, Tom Waits.

Anyone who likes dogs is alright by me. Open minded-ness. Intelligence. Introspective ability. Creativity. Passion. But none of this is worth a darn, without a sick, twisted sense of humor. :D

Arrogant, pompous know-it-alls. People who think they're better than others.

Slightly skewed, half-brained and wholly irreverent. Drive a truck with my husband and 2 dogs. Not sure which one's more well trained (the dogs are winning) but I love them all.
