About Me

When not devoting myself to the study of string theory, albeit of the silly kind, I enjoy doing a variety of activities. It's always more about the people you are with and meet than the places you go.

My Interests


I have recently went though my friends list and removed many profiles of people that I really didn't have much interaction with. If you were one of these people, it was nothing personal but I'm not one to pad my friends list for the fun of it. If you want to get back in touch with me, feel free to write.

Scuba diving, sushi, traveling (some favorites: Cancun, The Keys), going out with friends, boating, clubs, pubs, theatre, horseback riding...

I'd like to meet:

Michelle Malkin, Lou Dobbs, Neil Boortz, Anthonin Scalia

Would have liked to meet:
Ronald Reagan, Harry Caray, Sinatra, Julius Sumner Miller

Music:

I like a variety of music...rock, 80's, classical, trance, Latin, top 40, Celtic, and a bit of: country, jazz and hip hop. There isn't much I don't enjoy.

I'm always up for some live music. Some of the concerts I have hit this year include: Chicago/Doobie Brothers, SummerFest (Night Ranger, Survivor, Taylor Dayne, Howard Jones, Patty Smyth & Scandal, ASIA F/ John Payne, The Romantics, A Flock of Seagulls, Naked Eyes), Dave Mathews Band, Crue Fest (Motley Crue, Trapt, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, SIXX:A.M.), Regeneration Tour (Naked Eyes, AFOS, ABC, Belinda Carlisle, Human League), Extreme w/ Kings X. I've also caught Bad Boy Bill, Benny Bennassi & Paul Oakenfold in the clubs. All great shows!

Local bands: Velvet Crush & Drink with Me!!!

Movies:

Old School, Wedding Crashers, Animal House, The Green Mile, 40 Year Old Virgin, Dodgeball, Office Space.

Television:

Law & Order, Shield, The Office, Coupling (British version) & WGN for the Cubs games!!!

Books:

Mostly trade mags and such. Last few books include: Dear Americans...Letters from the Desk of President Ronald Reagan, The Fair Tax.

Heroes:

My parents and our troops. I would probably throw my brother and sister-in-law in there for being able to raise triplets.
