Even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day.

About Me

  • As my friends can contest. The character of Seth Cohen (from the O.C.) was loosely based on my HS experiences. Except that I didn't get beat up by any "Water Polo Jocks."
  • I finally got a job where I get to work with people who are smart. At least I think so...really!
  • I just bought a new house. Mowing the lawn sucks.
  • I like to color. Especially outside of the lines.
  • I play soccer in leiu of the fact that I suck at it.
  • I have an old ipod. It is in fact, so big that if you tried to steal it from me, and I hit you with it in self defense, you would die. I have a new Nano now too. His Name is Greeney Stickums.
  • My dad is cooler than your dad, unless your dad is Jimi Hendrix.
  • To say that I am obsessed with the Pittsburgh Penguins, would be an understatement. One time I got arrested for drinking with Jordan Staal.
  • I can play a guitar and a bass, but not at the same time (yet).
  • I can throw a curveball. I am not sure why that is important.
  • I like to cook, but not for myself. I might make the best ribs known to man.
  • I have once again dedicated myself to the practice of yoga. I know...you think I am gay. I don't give a shit.
  • A lot of people doubt me. I love every second of trying to prove them wrong.
  • I am not so much into the myspace hookup/pornsite thing.

    • My Interests

    Road Biking, Rita's Italian Ice, Yoga, Soccer, reading at the pool, Softball/Wiffleball, Board Games, Card Games, Cooking on the Grill, Pitt Basketball, Pittsburgh Penguins
