About Me

I realize it isn't in good taste to speak very highly of one's self, but what can I say...I work hard to be a good person and I think I succeed. I'm a loving son and brother, I'm a kick-ass friend, I'm a terrific employee and an even better boss. Doubt any of what I've said? Ask around, I'm sure you'll find nothing but people who agree. You have to shine in this world folks. There is no benefit to kickin' it in the shadows. Believe me, I've been there and done that and I have nothing great to say about that time in my life. In a nutshell folks...be happy and try to be the best at whatever it is that you do. Keep that in mind and you'll find that all the crap you have to suffer through is a mere spit in the ocean compared to the good times you enjoy.

My Interests

Sports: Football, Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, etc. I love to watch sports, play sports, read about sports...you get the picture
Eating: What can I say...I love good food, which would explain being 5' 7" and damn near 300 lbs.
Music: Few things in this world are better that kickin' back listening to something good on the radio.
Shoes: Man I've got a gang of shoes. I especially love all my New Balances. God bless that company, they just keep churnin' out tight-ass kicks
TV: Re-runs on TBS and USA kick ass.

I'd like to meet:

Ms. Sarah Shahi

Peep game on this classic...

THE MOST ELECTRIFYING MOVE IN SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT TODAY!!!

Hilarious!!!

Music:

I love music. I'll listen to anything. However, my favorite group of all time is The Temptations. Here is one of their best performances...The Temps version 3 (Dennis Edwards, Eddie Kendricks, Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin and my favorite...Mr. Paul Williams singing lead) performing "For Once In My Life". Paul gets so into this song that if you don't damn near shed a tear, you have no heart.

Movies:

The Usual Suspects
Zoolander
Best In Show, A Mighty Wind and Spinal Tap (those mock-umentaries are hilarious)
The Original Kings Of Comedy
Napoleon Dynamite
Batman Begins (they finally did Batman right)
The entire Austin Powers series
Top Gun
and the list goes on and on............

Television:

The Steve Harvey Show
Friends
3rd Rock From The Sun
NYPD Blue
Law & Order: SVU
Forensic Files
JAG
The Simpsons
Family Guy
Who's Line Is It Anyway?
The Surreal Life
Hogan Knows Best
Dawson's Creek (Yeah that's right..."The Creek")

Books:

I haven't read any books lately.

Heroes:

My Mom and Dad. No one has had more influence on the man I've become than those two. There is no one walking God's green Earth better than my parents.

Just takin' a moment to ramble.

Y'know, my faith in God never waivers...and I know that what I deserve will come to me in due time. But sometimes I do wonder how a hard-working, good-hearted cat like me has to s...

Don't know why.

But since I got back from Hawaii, I've had no energy. I wake up tired, trudge through the day and go to sleep tired. I actually had some energy yesterday but I guess that was an abberation...

I've learned something.

Contrary to popular belief...I've learned that you can in fact miss what you never had. Pissed.

Good is one thing, great is another.

So I was talkin' to T earlier today, and I remembered a really good quote. One that used to inspire the hell out of me. That is until I fell into this whole "I got nothing left to pro...
