About Me

I'm a specimen of sheer masculinity and chiseled good looks =) I'm a baller that drinks Guinness, plays kickball for the Ludicrous Speed team , and watches football and Formula 1 racing (the Broncos and Ferrari for the win!)

I drive an NSX, like The Wolf in Pulp Fiction -- "It's 30 minutes away, I'll be there in 10."

And I also fly Piper airplanes...

My Interests

Ballin', pimpin', using Tide , and being awesome. I like fast cars, loud guns, Irish beer, good cigars, and baller airplanes.

I'd like to meet:

Yes, please.

Music:

Music rocks, and I like all kinds of assorted stuff. MHD (Cox channel 729) is awesome.

Movies:

I love movies, and rock the Netflix.

Everyone should see "The Kingdom", starring Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, and me =)

Television:

LOST -- best TV show ever.

Three Sheets on MOJO rocks, too. Zane Lamprey is awesome.

I also like...

...good dramas: Dexter, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, The Shield, Heroes, Friday Night Lights.

...good sitcoms: Weeds, Californication, How I Met Your Mother, Monk, Psych, Carpoolers, The Big Bang Theory.

...good cartoons: Aqua Teen, Robot Chicken, and the rest of Adult Swim, The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc...

Books:

Primarily classics, though I'll occasionally check out something modern if it's trendy (and therefore usually overhyped...)

I also read Sesquipedalis ...

Heroes:

The Most Interesting Man in the World
