It's GREAT to be a FLORIDA GATOR!!!!

About Me

I believe this.... "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." -Douglas Noel Adams.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.-D.N.A. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.-D.N.A.
Your Life Path Number is 1
Your purpose in life is to lead others.
You have great drive and determination. Nothing is going to stand in your way.
You seek out challenges and the spotlight. You'll take all the work - and all the glory.
Status and success are important to you. You demand the best from everyone and everything.
In love, you tend to take a protective role. You enjoy being the provider in relationships.
You expect others to be like you, and as a result, you are often disappointed.
A little selfish and vain, you always put yourself first.
Remember, everyone already knows you're great - you don't need to remind them! What Is Your Life Path Number?
Your Brain is 53% Female, 47% Male
Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female
You are both sensitive and savvy

My Interests



Wine. Playing Golf but I do it poorly! Love the Gators, Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers. Minor league and spring training baseball. Wine. Rock and Roll music and reading. The Beach.

I'd like to meet:

The one guy I'd really like to sit down and talk with...Douglas Adams, who penned this wonderful line...."Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job." Seems as appropriate in the 'real world' as it does in the fictional world of outer space.

You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around. What's Your Beer Personality?

The girl's a super freak

In new-wave magazine"

It's probably time for an update, it has been a while since I have done one. The good news is that for the most part we are done with the 'constructing' stage of the project.  I'd say 95% done.&n...
