About Me


I just started to get back into ice hockey, i quit smoking and im pretty rad for that...

Im in contant pursuit of mastering the Italian language, yet cant seem to finish my classes

I think its ok to take wonderful things from experiences that now exist only in the past, you just have to be willing to say goodbye to the present and look to the future

I am indeed a good guy, with a big dumb heart

I love to get gifts, but i REALLY LOVE TO GIVE THEM, even if they're not always the perfect thing.

Where the Red Fern Grows is now and Always will be my favorite book.
I grew up in an Italian family and love to talk about it. I love to cook

Other than that, im an open book but one thats still being written. Feel free to fill in a page.

Brooks and Dunn's Neon Moon is the greatest country song ever written

My Interests

Horror movies, even bad ones, TIME magazine,Carving Pumpkins.
then there is this stuff:Caring for animals (i was a vet tech for 4 years) Snowboarding,Cooking (real cooking)! I love Cardinal and Dodger Baseball! Season ticket holder for 4 seasons now. Im really interested in figuring out new things about myself. I love to camp but NEVER have in California. Im interested in honesty, truth, justice, and equality for everyone...except people that refuse to at least try and speak the language when visiting a foreign country. Im really open-minded and like to see and try new things. I LOVE IT WHEN A PERSON CAN SHOW ME SOMETHING OR TEACH ME SOMETHING I'VE NEVER SEEN OR DONE BEFORE. I am way down for a long conversation as long as its not about what club in LA is hot and how you were able to get in...that i cant be bothered with. I like to do things outside but im not one to just go sit on the beach all day, so bring a volleyball at the very least. I grew up cooking, and love it cuz I know when my food has turned someone on, and it will, believe. There is loads more so just ask and ill tell ya in person.

I'd like to meet:

Ya know truth be told im not sure who i want to meet. I know that i want to meet and experience dynamic and interesting people on a daily basis. its really easy to make me laugh, a little tougher to make me think, and sometimes it can seem impossible to prove me wrong...but when i am i love it, cuz it means i just learned something new.

HERE ARE SOME COMMERCIALS I'VE BEEN IN. I DECIDED TO PUT THEM BACK UP, AND NO THE LAST ONE WAS NOT BANNED EVERYWHERE! JUST MOST COUNTRIES
THIS IS MY NEWEST ONE, DOWN WITH FRIVALOUS LAW SUITS!

I DID THIS ONE FOR ITALY

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY ASS

Music:

MAROON 5'S NEW ALBUM IS KEEPING ME ALIVE AT THE MOMENT. JAMIE CULLUM The Killers, Feist,THE DOORS, Pink Floyd, Jason Mraz, Coldplay (as long as they get a new sound at some point), Franz Ferdinand, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, GnR, Justin Timberlake, Etta James, Nirvana, Duran Duran, Thievery Corporation, Anything rock or jazz really...and did i mention JAMIE CULLUM I have pretty ecclectic taste in music its all about my mood at the time. MARIAH CAREY'S XMAS ALBUM, JOSH GROBIN,FANTASIA can jam, CARRIE UNDERWOOD MAKES ME CRY..SOMETIMES. I HAVE A REINVENTED LOVE OF COUNTRY MUSIC I do HATE HATE HATE TRANCE, HOUSE OR ANYTHING THAT RESEMBLES IT. Put down the glo-sticks and step away from the glitter!

Movies:

I dont even know where to begin: The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the best trilogy ever made.

Gorilla's in the mist (yes i know), The Lonesome Dove, The Godfather, or any great epic. Scent of a Woman, Rudy, Amores Perros, The Motorcycle Diaries, Gladiator, Waiting for Guffman, The Big Lebowski, Run Lola Run, Kill Bill 1and2, The Doors, Halloween, The Others, Capote, The Incredibles, Brokeback Mountain, Proof,little miss sunshine,the devil wears prada,terms, steele magnolias,pirates I COLLECT DVDS AND HAVE NEARLY 500 so its hard for me to narrow down...if ya come to watch one sometime we'll figure out which one is best. BUT PLEASE DONT LET IT BE NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE OR ANYTHING WITH JACK BLACK, CUZ THEN WE CANT BE FRIENDS.

Television:

Six Feet Under R.I.P, Curb, Sein..."whats the deal with cancer", Hardball, The Family Guy, The Sopranos R.I.P. I love Roseanne too, no really, I love the Conners. Greys Anatomy. Im a news junkie so anything with politics or Bush Bashing will usually get me to tune in.

Books:

Where the Red Fern Grows
ON THE ROAD
Still Life With Woodpecker
365 Days to Hysterical Living
In Cold Blood
The Audacity of Hope
All About Me
A Painted House

Heroes:

My family of course, THEY RULE!

My grandfather who died young but was an amazing JAZZ Drummer and left the love for it in my DNA. John Kerry for still trying to make a difference after he failed,Jamie Cullum for taking risks and making music that doesnt make your ears bleed. Anyone that has the courage to be a force for something, right or wrong
