About Me

Here's the deal I'm the best there is. Plain and simple. I wake up in the morning and i piss excellence.
"Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." -Theodore Roosevelt, 1907
This is the best skit ever... if you can't laugh at this, than we aren't friends!
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt
We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.
You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.

My Interests

Laughing at stupid people. No, I'm not kidding, they amuse me.

I'd like to meet:


Interesting people who like me for me.
The crew from Top Gear, the greatest show ever made.
Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington.

Music:

I blast Techno and 80's hits at stoplights to make people stare, I'm a bit of an attention whore.

Movies:

I have a bit of a movie collection at this point, but it seems that most involve comedy, or action, or a mix of both. My top favorite movies of all time though, that I can watch ANY time, are Maverick, Top Gun, Operation Pettycoat (Look it up, its old, my dad got me hooked on old movies), and Cars (yeah, I'm a kid at heart). Surfs Up is great, Safeway gave me 3 copies of it! It makes me laugh.

Television:

Deadliest Catch, Band of Brothers, Southpark (Of course!) Family Guy, American Dad, Modern Marvel's, Malcom in the Middle, The Office, the news on occassion, most anything on the History or Discovery channel if I have time.

Books:

I read the Bible regularly, and on occasion a few interesting novels. Oh and I LOVE my GMAT book, who doesn't love 5 years of college followed by 3 more?

Heroes:

Oma (my grandma), who has lived the most amazing life I have ever seen, from being a professional baseball player, pilot, teacher, and the most inspiring person I have ever been around. My parents are amazing in their own ways, if you know me, then you probably already know them, so you get it. My mom is insanely talented and intelligent, which always blows me away, and my dad is just a genius. Period.

My Blog

Political Analysts are full of shit

Some of you may have noticed that recently gas prices have risen a little bit, from stupid to borderline ridiculous prices.  While I could go on and on about my deep and dark hatred for OPEC, ins...

I hate studying, thats why I graduated twice already.

So I've been reading through this GMAT study book, because I'm dumb enough to want to go back to school this year or next to get my MBA.  I've already picked my top 4 school choices, but there's ...

People who post pics from every club and restaurant they go to!!!

Ok, it seems to me that the majority of myspace pics are aquired during a night out with friends and/ or aquaintances, usually while at dinner at a restaurant, or in a club, but I have a problem with ...

Who wants to free write, and just vent their thoughts to the wild spaces held by the 1's and 0's clicking off inside of our computers?  Lets go. Somehow its already August, and I never even notic...

Sometimes you just have to wonder how many sides a person can talk out of their mouth from!

So, here we go again.  I was just reading a letter addressed to a few Senators signed by 22 state governors, pleading for an investigation into why gas prices are on the rise while there are no e...

I'm going to make an airplane out of cardboard boxes and fly away....

Hi, its me again...  Re-living those magical memories, the ones where I felt like I could go anywhere and do anything.  Its funny, but I remember growing up, day dreaming about what it would...
