About Me

I love: staying up late, falling asleep to favorite albums, chicken tenders, the New York Yankees (no matter what), watching "Lost," pugs, more movies than I can remember, sno-cones, to play basketball, my best friend, Goya ginger beer, the New York Giants, eating breakfast in the middle of the night, the color "red," professional wrestling, homemade tacos, much lower gas prices, and all things creative writing.

My Interests

Muscle cars, skydiving, most "Reality TV" shows, and the collective works of Celine Dion are things that don't interest me. However, I really enjoy eating chocolate-covered ice cream bars and reading funny porn star names like "Sid Deuce." Hey, check out my blog.

I'd like to meet:

anyone with an extra basket of cheese fries and TV's Heywood Nelson.

Music:

No need for labels -- from "High School Musical" to "Hannah Montana," I likes what I likes. In my collection, you'll find Mos Def, System of a Down, Fall Out Boy, Seal, Kanye West, Alanis Morisette, Disturbed, G-N-R, Gnarls Barkley, Justin Timberlake, Staind, Cypress Hill, David Bowie, Slum Village, plenty of LL Cool J, Franz Ferdinand, OutKast, Bee Gees, The Temptations, Korn, the Doobie Brothers, kristen barry, Madonna, Jimi Hendrix, The Beastie Boys, Radiohead, k-os, Linkin Park, and the Spice Girls (!). My all-time favorites include Run-DMC, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Nirvana, Luther Vandross, The Wu-Tang Clan, Prince, Jay-Z, STP, The Roots, Led Zeppelin, Marvin Gaye, Metallica, The Notorious B.I.G., and, yes, even Michael Jackson.
