Life is what YOU make of it

About Me

I try to look at life through the eyes of an optimist, though its not always easy. Focusing on the positive things in life seems to bring the most enjoyment. Family and Friends are the most important things in the world to me. I am always attempting to eliminate boredom by having a million hobbies and going out.
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind dont matter and those who matter dont mind. -Dr. Seuss
"I desire wisdom and my heart seeketh to find understanding. I am smitten with the love of wisdom.... for wisdom is far better than treasure of gold and silver... It is sweeter than honey, and it maketh one to rejoice more than wine, and it illumineth more than the sun.... It is a source of joy for the heart, and a bright and shining light for the eyes, and a giver of speed to the feet, and a shield for the breast, and a helmet for the head... It makes the ears to hear and hearts to understand." - Queen of Sheeba

Movies:

Scarface, Casablanca, True Romance, The Hustler, Saturday Night Fever, Braveheart, Gladiator, Old School, 40 Year Old Virgin, Caddyshack, Stripes, Animal House, Vacation, Stand By Me, Godfather, any mafia movies, most science fiction movies, the list goes on and on.

Television:

I love to laugh, so any comedy. Ali G, Entourage, Sopranos, HBO seems to have all the best shows. I seem to find myself watching Discover Channel, TLC, Sci-Fi, History Channel, National Geographic Channel. I guess I am a bit nerdy when it comes to learning.

Books:

The Old Man and the Sea, Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, The Bible, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Celestine Prophecy, Photography books, Dr. Seuss books, this list goes on and on as well. Books are great if you can find the time. Articles on the internet and magazines seem so much easier most of the time.

Heroes:

My parents are my heroes because I have no idea how they didn't strangle me or leave me in a shopping mall somewhere when I was little. I was such a pain in the a$$.Anyone serving our country is a hero.
