My Graduation Speech...in front of a few thousand peeps!
I'm one of those annoying motivated people that want to go out and change the world for the better. As you can see from the video, ^^^ I mean that. Right now I'm doing it as a teacher...first teaching computers, and soon to teach high school history. But eventually I would like to establish my business, RocklandWebDesign.com, as a reputable source for the small businessman in Rockland County.I believe everyone has potential, and no matter how tough it is to understand someone, if you take the time and energy to dig deeper, you eventually find a beautiful person. Not sure yet if that holds true for dickheads like Hitler or Stalin. I can't imagine somebody sitting down with Adolf when he's like 40 years old, and asking him "Tell me your feelings". But you get the point.(Update - I just took a Hitler / Stalin course, and it turns out that they really WERE dickheads. But their parents did really screw them up. Especially Adolph. His Mom was his Father's niece!)I live with 3 other college students in a house in Suffern. It's a great area, and I hope to establish some roots in this area after leaving home at the age of 26. I'm still very close with my Mom, but I wanted to go out and forge my own path. So far so good. I just graduated college, and am excited about the future.

My Interests

Drumming, Chess, History, Movies and Basketball. Also a big fan of pasta.

I'd like to meet:

The Greatest Couple Since Bonnie and Clyde!
Michael Douglas is the GREATEST CHARACTER ACTOR OF ALL TIME, and his wife Catherine Zeta is the most gorgeous woman to walk the earth.

Music:

I have a project I'm currently working on called Vicious Cycle. One of my best friends, Aidan (Gizip) is the singer, my friend Cameron is the lead and rhythm guitarist. We need a bassist, since the last one turned out to be a major ass. All the songs on the album are originals. More info on this soon...

Favorite bands are Tool, Korn, Godsmack, Led Zeppelin and the Doors.

Movies:

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Forrest Gump The Shawshank Redemption Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Clerks

Television:

South Park, The Family Guy, The Daily Show, Star Trek (old & new) and 24.

Books:

BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME: THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE. Other books: The Power of Focus, The Crusades Through Arab Eyes, The Eighth Habit (Sequel to the 7 Habits), ummm....what else? Sacred Hoops by Phil Jackson, Sun Tzu's Art of War (When you're pissed), The Power Game, Founding Brothers and finally, The Savage Nation - just because I admire outspokenness.

Heroes:

That Jesus dude was pretty cool. (If you don't like that I said that, go f*** yourself.) Also, Gandhi, the Dalai Llama, Stephen Covey, Patton, Abraham Lincoln and everybody that is defending our country right now.
