I originally started doing lenses when I began doing Internet marketing. But after doing my first couple of lens's I was hooked.

About Me
I started doing lenses thinking I was going to make money. And though I have made a little my goals have changed dramatically. Making money is no longer my aim. Making lenses is what it is all about. I like to see them come together to become something either informative or maybe even entertaining. I find I am making them now based on my interests, not what I think people will buy. And it is a lot of fun doing it that way. I spend a long time on any one given lens and as time goes on and I find myself now with multiple lenses, and it has become a commitment on my part to maintain them, to watch them climb the rankings...or fall if I don't tweak them every few days or so. Some day I want to do a huge lens on my sports cards. I haven't tackled that yet because I need more practice before I take on something of that magnitude.
Something I have taken on is school. I began my third education in February of 08. Naturally, after 25 years of being out of school I have things I need to relearn; like Algebra, English, and I guess some Science too. Then I will began my bachelor degree in Computer Science, or Information management systems, or something like that.
It has been interesting to say the least to back at school after all these years. I know it's a little late in the game but everyone that's important in my life tells me it isn't too late so...Now I go to MCC near Rochester, NY.
I have passions. I mean, we all have passions, but mine are what I really want to make this page about. I'll just list them as I go along.
What I Have Going On.
- The Boston Redsox
- If ESPN were to do a survey of the five most memorable baseball games ever, I would bet my house that one of those spots would have a game in which the Boston Redsox played. In fact it would probably be either the 1975 game 6 World Series game
- The Redsox vs Yankees Rivalry Is The Best In Sports
- The Redsox vs Yankees Rivalry Is The Best In Sports This is so easy, it's like taking candy from a Yankee fan. Does the year 2004 mean anything to anyone? Remember Jason Varitek putting the smack down on A-Rod? Of course that is just one example.
- John F Kennedy
- John Kennedy should have just stayed in bed that day in November 1963. That would have been the only way for him to avoid the headsman's axe, if you'll pardon my analogy.
- Titanic
- We all know the story of the Titanic. What most people don't know is that The Titanic never stood a chance against that iceberg. From the time Titanic left port she was doomed!
- Movie & Celebrity Lens
- I love reviewing and rating movies. Thats what I hope to do with this group. Any lens about a movie or celebrity will be welcome. The celebrity does not have to be someone that EVERYONE knows. And the movie doesn't have to be Oscar worthy either. If you liked it, that is all that matters.
- New England Patriots
- I never thought I would be able to say this one day, but here it is. The New England Patriots are a Dynasty in every sense of the word. Especially in this day and age, with free agency and the business of football it really is amazing how they just get better every year.
- Resistance Fall Of Man
- Resistance Fall Of Man is part video game, part alternative history buff's fantasy world. It takes place before and instead of, WWII. In 1930's Soviet Russia, our Russian comrades had been undertaking biochemical engineering and testing, when all of a sudden we begin hearing of villages being destro
- RFN Global Friendship Network
- Social Networking site that puts the emphasis on friendships.
- Once Upon A Time In America
- America loves gangster movies. After all whether you love them or hate them gangsters are part of the American fabric. Yes, like almost all things we as Americans have romanticized them into almost folklore status, heroes if you will. Al Capone was anything but a hero, Machine Gun Kelly wasn't calle

My Favorite Links
Social Networks That I "Socialize" at.
The second one down on my list happens to be the one I spend almost all my socializing time at. After that, you be the judge. I guess they all have something to offer. Everyone already knows where myspace is. Thats one place I don't go. I made a profile and basically that was it.
My Favorite Family Photos

I have to honestly say I hesitated about putting these pictures here because, well, why would anyone want to look at pics of people that don't know. But in the end I figured some people actually do like to look...so here they are.

My Favorite Game
- Play Ricochet Infinity at RicochetInfinity.com
- Ricochet Infinity Official Site download Ricochet Infinity game and other Ricochet branded games
- Biography of John F. Kennedy
- I have a lens on JFK, but it may be too strong for some eyes. Lets face it, the guy was shot in the head, and my goal is trying to get at the truth of what happened that day.
Biography of John F. Kennedy, the Thirty-Fifth President of the United States(1961-1963). - Official Website of the New England Patriots
- This is the official home of the "SHOULD BE BUT AIN'T" Super Bowl champs. Yeah, I'm still bitter about that ONLY lost last year. The Giants deserved to win, they were definitely the better team "that" day. I just hate the fact that they did win.
- The Official Site of The Boston Red Sox: Homepage
- Home of the World Champion, Boston Redsox. After winning their second World Series in three years Sox fans are becoming spoiled. One more and folks will start talking another dynasty in New England.
Its ALL the rage!
Literally hundreds of levels to defeat
My Favorite Movies Of All Time
- Once Upon a Time in America (1984)
- Directed by Sergio Leone. With Robert De Niro, James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern. A former Prohibition-era Jewish gangster returns to Brooklyn over 30 years later, where he once again must confront the ghosts and regrets of his old life. Visit IMDb for Photos, Showtimes, Cast, Crew, Reviews, Plot Summ
The pure scope of this movie is what does it for me. Nothing is left out or missed. Sergio Leone was ahead of his time with this flick, as audiences and critics didn't like the length of it. I couldn't imagine it being any shorter and still get everything in. I believe it was also Jennifer Connelly's first role. - The Departed (2006)
- Directed by Martin Scorsese. With Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson. Two men from opposite sides of the law are undercover within the Massachusetts State Police and the Irish mafia, but violence and bloodshed boil when discoveries are made, and the moles are dispatched to find out their enemies identites.
By far Leonardo DiCaprio's finest performance. Not to take anything away from Forest Whitaker who is a great actor, but DiCaprio (in my opinion) deserved the Oscar for "The Departed". though he could have won for "blood Diamond" as well. - My Cousin Vinny (1992)
- Directed by Jonathan Lynn. With Joe Pesci, Ralph Macchio, Marisa Tomei. Bill and Stan are mistaken for murderers while on vacation, and Bill's family sends his cousin to defend them for his first case as a lawyer. Visit IMDb for Photos, Showtimes, Cast, Crew, Reviews, Plot Summary, Comments, Discuss
This movie is HILARIOUS, plain and simple. Marisa Tomei was unbelievable. Especially the bedroom scene when she confronts Vinny about going hunting. Classic, Classic, Classic. - Far and Away (1992)
- Directed by Ron Howard. With Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Thomas Gibson. Visit IMDb for Photos, Showtimes, Cast, Crew, Reviews, Plot Summary, Comments, Discussions, Taglines, Trailers, Posters, Fan Sites
I know this isn't considered one of the all time greats, but it is one of mine. Nicole Kidman is simply, absolutely gorgeous and I think Tom Cruise played one of his best roles in this movie (other than Jerry McGuire). But what I like most about this movie is the story:
A young man (Cruise) leaves Ireland with his landlord's daughter (Kidman), and sets sail for America. They land in Boston and soon find that life is hard and nothing comes cheap or easy. The relationship between Cruise and Kidman is charged and it's obvious (to me) that they have the hots for each other. I found out after this movie that they were a couple in real life. - Major League (1989)
- Directed by David S. Ward. With Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen. The new owner of the Cleveland Indians puts together a purposely horrible team so they'll lose and she can move the team. But when the plot is uncovered, they start winning just to spite her. Visit IMDb for Photos, Showtime
As far as comedy's go, this movie (pardon the pun) is a slam dunk...oh wait, wrong sport. Well you get the picture. With an unbelievable cast and great dialog, and awesome one liners, its hard to pin down a "favorite" but Harry Doyle's "Juuuust a bit outside" comes close.
My Favorite "Corny" Movies
You Know We All Have Them
Well, here is my Corny List:
- The Cutting Edge (1992)
- Directed by Paul Michael Glaser. With D.B. Sweeney, Moira Kelly, Roy Dotrice.
Aside from Moira Kelly's uni-brow, this movie has all the attributes of - Kangaroo Jack (2003)
- Directed by David McNally. With Jerry O'Connell, Anthony Anderson, Estella Warren. Two childhood friends, a New York hairstylist and a would-be musician, get caught up with the mob and are forced to deliver $50,000 to Australia, but things go haywire when the money is lost to a wild kangaroo.
No matter what any one says, this movie is hilarious. Not to mention the hot blonde. - Sky High (2005)
- Directed by Mike Mitchell. With Michael Angarano, Kurt Russell, Kelly Preston. Set in a world where superheroes are commonly known and accepted, young Will Stronghold, the son of the Commander and Jet Stream, tries to find a balance between being a normal teenager and an extraordinary being.
This movie has it all, as far as I'm concerned. It has action, romance, lots of humor, and it's corny. - The Parent Trap (1998)
- Directed by Nancy Meyers. With Lindsay Lohan, Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson.
If I had to pick my favorite corny movie, "The Parent Trap" would be it, hands down. I know what Lohan has become, but she didn't start out like that. She was a cute newcomer redoing a classic by Haley Mills, and she nailed it.
Who Will Be The Next President?
The coming Presidential election will be one of the most sought after job openings in modern history I think. The lame duck, George Bush is on his way out; most folks are looking forward to that day more than the next president. But be careful what you wish for I say.
So, who will the next victim....ooops, I mean president be? Lets be real, no matter who it is that poor sucker will be drawn and quartered in the media (unless it is a Democrat) everyday that there are still troops in Iraq. And when they get pulled out the president will be crucified for taking them out too soon. Again, unless the next president is a Democrat, then the media will see that person as the next coming of...gasp...Bill Clinton....ugh, I need a shower.
Well, I'm glad I can be impartial in these kinds of things, aren't you? There is nothing worse then people letting their own opinion marr what they write.
In closing I would like to add that I had jokes all prepared to write along side their names (they were good ones too). But decided against it because I think it would have a negative impact on the voting and I really want to know who you choose. Just be careful what you wish for. Did I say that already?
Do You Care Who Will Be Next President
At this point I have come to the point where I don't care who becomes the next president...as long as it isn't a Clinton. Sorry, I will NEVER trust them.
I Want To Know What You Think
About Our Next President
Obviously we can't know who our next president is going to be. All I can say is God help us please! But lets assume for a second that God won't help us and we are left to our own devices and left with whoever we vote in.
I know voting is suppose to be private so we'll just keep everyones answer on the QT and not tell anyone.
1. Who do you think it will be and what should be their first order of business?
I'm leaning toward Ron Paul-
And I Think health Care Should Be Addressed.And at more...1 point
Ron Paul is the only real choice
Ron Paul is the only honest one in the whole bunch more...0 points

Will They Make History?
Well, now we know the Patriots didn't go undefeated. In fact we all know they blew the biggest game of the year, the one that would have put them in a league all by themselves. Though I believe they are already in a league of their own, even with the loss to the Giants. But that's my opinion and I guess we'll have to see what happens this coming year.
