Theatre (acting) - recently musical theatre, but I've had a lot of fun doing comedy work, too. I'm about to move into direction with PIPPIN (and possibly also JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR) in 2003.I love playing with my computers. I collect Macintosh computers. So far, I have a 7100, a Powerbook 1400, a Blue-and-White G3, a Flower Power iMac, and a 14-inch iBook. Music - My musical taste is very broad. I love classical music, but my passion is for songs I can sing along with. My collection includes hundreds of songs belonging to each decade from the 1950s to the present. The above-mentioned iMac is a dedicated iTunes jukebox (with a 5GB iPod for the car).

I get my kicks by working for a local stage theater, and also officiating amatuer sporting events. I also am working on an old fixer upper car for when my son turns 16 in four and a half years, hope to have that muscle machine bad boy in tip top shape by then. I hope that my son is as much a hound as I was, difference is, I will be on the sidelines cheering him on. GO BOY GO!!!!!I also get very involved politically, and am one of those kooks you see published all the time in the local paper in the editorial columns. I complain all the time and seem to be never happy! 
That and I am an amatuer filmmaker. I have worked on several projects over the years, but have never been able to complete any projects, considering I have actual obligations in life, like going to work and such.

The first love of my life is movies because I could remember seing them when I was only six years old. Next is photography which became my occupation for the last 37 years and still is. Beside movies and photography, I also have great passion for classical music. Although I live in island state in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to still enjoy some live concerts by the Honolulu Symphony and the Hawaii Opera Company. During the years when I had the time to buy season tickets, I have had the opportunity to see and hear live performances by Van Cliburn, Jaqueline DuPre, Ravi Shankar, Luciano Pavarotti and many others. I was there for The New York Philharmonic concert here in Honolulu with Leonard Bernstein in 1959 when they toured the western United United States. I also had an opportinity to see in person three famous modern composers including Aaron Copeland, Aram Khachaturian and Igor Stravinsky conduct our orchestra just a few years before they all passed away. Beside live concerts I also listen to music from my extensive LP and CD collection. One of the collection I have on records is all of the music Ludwig Van Beethoven wrote and about 65 percent of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on CDs. With movies I can watch in a theatre and on DVD, photography which allows me to earn a living and express myself artistically and music that enlightens me, I find life very rich and rewarding. -Claude

I Played Paintball until I started spending 300.00 Pounds every time I played. (every weekend)I was in a team called the "Dead Sheep" based in Hereford. We came 12Th out of 63 in the European championships in the mid 90,s
& were famous for being the most drunk team at the world speed ball championships, after starting drinking 7.00pm on the Friday & not stopping until 12.30 the following Sunday. In fact our most important part of our equipment was our Beer Cooler. I miss going out & shooting some complete stranger then drinking them under the table that night. My liver on the other hand dose not.
