About Me

Hey there - I'm a CT-based guy who works in market research for a food company. I'm a huge Red Sox and Jets fan - a strange combo, I know.I like research b/c I like getting to know what makes other people tick. I took a Meyers-Briggs test and I'm an INTJ. If you have the faintest idea what I'm talking about - let me know what type you are.

My Interests

Movies (or Film as I like to say if I'm going to the art theater on the weekend). Baseball, Volleyball. I'm oh-so exciting with my pre-bed Sudoku. Since I'm a relatively new home-owner - I've taken up a bit more interest in trying to make my house nicer. Love to travel. I've been to England and France and found those trips to be life-changing.

I'd like to meet:

It would have been nice to have met Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Abraham Lincoln, Hannibal, Jimmy Stewart, or Louise Brooks. Ask me tomorrow and see who I come up with!I'm not political - but I think Rudy G. would be interesting to talk to.Otherwise - I'd have to say that I'd like to meet Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, or Tom Tykwer.

Music:

The Cars were my favorite band in the 80's. I listen to XM and "Ethel" mostly now - but I like The Offspring, Foo Fighters, The Beatles, The Police, Nirvana, and Def Leppard (circa Pyromania in particular).

Movies:

I'm a big movie fan. I'm talking about movies like Memento and Run Lola Run, for instance. Yes - I like the classics and I've spent a small fortune on DVD's. But I'm no snob - I still think that National Lampoon's Vacation is a classic.

Television:

I like 24, Heroes, 30 Rock is very funny. Also like Scrubs, Lost, and The Office. Give it up for some old school Miami Vice. I re-watched Seasons 1 & 2 and it was like totally awesome.

Books:

Dante's Inferno is cool. I like history-based non-fiction. I just finished reading a book about Marie Antoinette. And I'm moving on to The Seven Ages of Paris next.

Heroes:

Bill Buckner - c'mon get over blaming him already. OK - I'll admit this is weak - but I can't change who my 14-year old self chose to root for.
