About Me

Recently, I've undergone a change for the better. Trying new things. Tiring of the same old places (but not the same old faces), I'm expanding my horizons.From checking out the musuems at Balboa Park to adventuring to Orange County simply for a good happy hour, I'm finally starting to live life the way I've always wanted to.

My Interests

_____ball, (insert base, foot, basket, soft (Thanks Leslie) or foos), soccer, golf, rugby ... sports in general. I try to golf, I like the Blarney Stone on Monday nights, just about any movie, TV (usually the crappy train wreck shows), and traveling to exotic places. Nicaragua anyone?

I'd like to meet:

Rich Eisen, the real father to Anna Nicole Smith's baby, whoever invented the hamburger

Music:

Joseph Arthur, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, James Taylor, Elton John, U2, Led Zeppelin, Frank, Bobby Darin, Jimmy Eat World, Reeve Oliver, Bad Credit, Fevercrotch, The Killers, U2, Danny Elfman

Movies:

Wedding Crashers, 40-Year Old Virgin, Rounders, Saw (and Saw II, but not Saw III - It sucked), Zoolander, Old School, Anchorman, Batman Begins, American Pie/Beauty, Rocky (and Rocky IV), Boondock Saints, Brotherhood of the Wolf, the original Star Wars trio, Dodgeball

Television:

Family Guy, American Dad, Scrubs, Law and Order, LOST, CSI:, Jeopardy!, Sportscenter, PTI, Survivorman, any Chargers game, Heroes, Dateline

Books:
