I used to spend all my time hating the MAN, I woke up six years ago and realized I am the MAN.

About Me

My first son was born on November 14, 2006 and that is about all I can remember about myself. Oh yeah, I'm from Livermore but I live in Oakland with my wife and son, and I am an attorney/small business owner. I am hopeful that one day I will fulfill my lifelong dream and move back to Livermore again with my wife, three kids, two cats, and a medium size dog. I hope one day to be buried in a cemetary in Livermore, that would be sweet.

My Interests

Grub,Couch, Bed, Television, and scoring off of the Wife. Oh and I loves me some video games, I am the 1337 gamer yo!!

I'd like to meet:

No one, got everybody I need right now and there are no more hours left in the day or night. Just lookin to find out what's up with some old friends from back in the day. I loved High School, my only regret were the days that I was sober (If I had known from the start that everything was gonna turn out so great, I would have partied way more, sorry mom).

Music:

Talk Radio/NPR/Howard Stern/Have not really listened to music since I was a teenager, loved the 80's/oh yeah my buddies are in a band that I don't hate, GO MUNDAZE!!!!! I have Sirius radio in my car and I remember how much I love mid 80's punk rock and gansta rap. The Misfits, Public Enemey, Ice T (old school not his 90's crap), Minor Threat, DK, Easy E (NWA), Suicidal Tendencies, and everything else that even kinda sounds like the above. Now, I like Prince's newest album and everything by Metallica (I am also learning to enjoy nursery rymes all over again).

Movies:

The Godfather I and II, Apocalypse Now, Star Wars, all six (I don't hate one and two even though its not cool to like them), Lord of the Rings, Almost all of the James Bond movies, all three of the Matrix movies (again, I know its not cool to like II and III) the Orginal Rocky (I thorugh IV, I did not like V), Rushmore, Saving Private Ryan. I really love going to the movies, and I really love movies in general, but my wife thinks that its too expensive, so I have to go alone or with friend. I only get to see about two or three movies a year, but I did go see the 300, and even though it had little to no plot, I loved it a ton. I go to the movies to be visually entertained (the 300 was very visually stimulating), I watch movies on my television to enjoy a story and maybe sometimes to get choked up (my wife is a serial cryer and I like to make fun of her).

Television:

The West Wing, Studio 60, Meet the Press, Hard Ball, The News Hour with Jim Lehr,Law and Order, Law and Order Criminal Intent, Countdown with Steve Oberman, Face the Nation,Scrubs, The Chris Matthews Show, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy, American Dad, Bones, The War at Home, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Sarah Silverman Show, South Park, American Chopper, Biker Build Off, The Shield, The Unit, CSI, CSI New York, Psych, The Closer, House, and if it is not obvious, I just plain Love Television.

Books:

I have read each and every book in the Star Wars Universe. I have read almost every Asimov Book, and I am in the process of reading everything written by Orson Scott Card. All Quiet On the Western Front is the only book that I have read three times, and I love A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

Heroes:

Bill Clinton, Joseph Biden, Charles Schummer,Arlen Specter (when he is acting like a Democrat and trying to uphold actual American Values), Charlie Rangel, the men on This Old House, FDR, the Oakland A's, my mom, my dad, my wife and my son.
