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, Shaggy, Mel Tillis, Hank Snow, Shooter Jennings, Flaming Lips, Jerry Reed, Conway Twitty, Mickey Gilley, Jimmy Hendrix, Slade, Kenny Rogers, Eddie Rabbit, George Clinton, Statler Brothers, Beach Boys, Beatles, Elvis, Anthrax, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chubby Checker, Boondox, Psychopathic Rydas, Fats Domino, Muddy Waters, Queen, Robert Plant, Bucket Head, David Bowie, Mojo Nixon, David Allen Coe, KISS, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Tom Petty, Sugar Ray, Woody Guthrie, Willie Nelson, Van Halen, Callahan Brothers, The Nerf Herders, Rednex, Trish Murphy, Steve Earl, Tenacious D, Rob Zombie, White Zombie, Jan and Dean, Run-DMC, Jerry Jeff Walker, Patsy Montana, Slipknot, Cat Stevens, Kinky Friedman, Nine Inch Nails, Ray parker Jr., Carl Perkins, Lazy Boy, The Reverend Horton Heat, Richard Cheese, X-Cops, Queen, Falco, Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, Southern Culture On The Skids, Billy Idol, Bloodhound Gang, Green Jell-O, Brian Setzer, Stray Cats, Buggles, Commander Cody, Jane's Addiction, Aqua, Cake, Journey, Credence Clearwater Revival, Green Day, Nemesis, Charlie Daniels, Crowbar, Johnny Cash, Dark Lotus, David Cassidy, Lords of Acid, Roy Clark, Shawn Cassidy, David Lee Roth, Devo, DVDA, NOFX, UTFO, Duran Duran, Dynamite Hack, Leroy Van Dyke, Tom Petty, Sheb Wooley, The Bottle Rockets, Tiny Tim, Eddie Arnold, Eilert Pilarm, Buddy Holly, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Little Jimmy Dickens, House of Pain, Wesley Willis, Jackie Wilson, Henry Rollins, Irish Rovers, Janis Joplin, The Who, Twizted, Jimmy Buffett, L7, HIM, 3 Non Blondes, Jef Jaisun, Meatloaf, Jello Biafra, Soopa Villianz, Gary Neuman, Steppenwolf, Electric Six, Pantera, Milton Berle, Twisted Sister, Peter Frampton, Primus, Ramones, Quiet Riot, Rammstein, Fozzy, Urge Overkill, Tom 'T-Bone' Stankus, Roy Orbison, The Traveling Wilburys, Spinal Tap, 3rd Bass, The Cars, The Misfits, Mojo Nixon, The Rip Chords, Todd Snider, Weezer, Violent Femmes, 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.
