I usually seek out very old history books. It is amazing how history has been re-written over the centuries. I have some as old as 1875. I used to read a lot more than I do today.

I enjoy a wide spectrum of music. I don't like 99.9% of anything on the radio these days. I enjoy Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bob Schneider, Oak Ridge Boys, Steve Miller Band, The Osmonds, 80s Pop, 80s New Wave, Hair Bands in general, The Ventures, Hank Williams Sr., George Jones, Mel Tillis, Hank Snow, Jerry Reed, Conway Twitty, Mickey Gilley, Jimmy Hendrix, Kenny Rogers, Eddie Rabbit, Statler Brothers, Beach Boys, Beatles, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chubby Checker, Fats Domino, Muddy Waters, Queen, David Bowie, Mojo Nixon, David Allen Coe, KISS, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Tom Petty, Woody Guthrie, Willie Nelson, Van Halen, The Nerf Herders, Trish Murphy, Rob Zombie, White Zombie, Run-DMC, Jerry Jeff Walker, Kinky Friedman, Nine Inch Nails, Carl Perkins, Richard Cheese, X-Cops, Falco, Frank Zappa, Billy Idol, Bloodhound Gang, Brian Setzer, Stray Cats, Buggles, Cake, Credence Clearwater Revival, Charlie Daniels, Crowbar, Johnny Cash, Dark Lotus, David Cassidy, Shawn Cassidy, David Lee Roth, Devo, DVDA, Duran Duran, Dynamite Hack, Eddie Arnold, Eilert Pilarm, Emerson lake and Palmer, Little Jimmy Dickens, House of Pain, Wesley Willis, Jackie Wilson, Janis Joplin, The Who, Jimmy Buffett, L7, 3 Non Blondes, Meatloaf, Steppenwolf, Twisted Sister, Peter Frampton, Primus, Ramones, Quiet Riot, Rammstein, Roy Orbison, The Traveling Wilburys, Spinal Tap, The Cars, The Misfits, The Rip Chords, Todd Snider, Weezer, Wicked Lester, and probably more that I can't remember right now.

I like a lot of different kinds of movies. I could name off the titles of my favorites, but it would take longer than the "Music" section.

I collect vinyl records and 8-track tapes. I also play computer games. I don't watch massive amounts of television due to the fact that I get most of my news off the internet. I do enjoy watching CSI and Law & Order though.

Hey. Hi. Howdy. My name is Michael Ryan McBride. I was born in 1975 and I have had a fascination with computers and electronics since a very young age. I was raised Church of Christ but I quit going when I was 15 due to the fact that they couldn't answer a lot of my questions or provide me with explanations of things I had experienced. That was 1990. Stuff happened, stuff happened, stuff happened, etc, etc, etc... I got married to my first wife in 1997 I think, divorced a few years later. We had a beautiful Son together and that is the only positive aspect to that relationship. I met my current wife in 2005 and we got married after 6 weeks of meeting each other. I love my wife with all my heart and I never knew that marriage could actually be a POSITIVE experience. I was baptized LDS July 23rd, 2006 and my life has never been better. I could go into detail about the jobs I have worked over the years or the number of addictions I overcame since joining the church, but I'm sure that would bore some people to death. If you have any questions about me, feel free to ask! I don't mind a bit and I shall answer as soon as I can. Thanks for reading and have a nice day. Thank you, drive through.
