About Me

I just moved from Dallas to the San Francisco Bay Area to pursue a new beginning and a new career. I miss my family and friends in Dallas a lot, so hopefully I'm going to be dragging some of you here to visit me soon!

On the weekends I like to go exploring and check out all the cool stuff to do in the area. I have a long list of fun stuff to do, and I still don't know a lot of people around here yet, so I'm always up for meeting cool new people to share the fun with.

During the week, when I'm not working, I'm either playing games at Kevin B's place, watching movies, playing guitar/piano, studying Japanese and/or whatever my latest hobbies are (I have too many to list), etc...

Uhhhhhh, okay that's it for now...

My Interests

Having a good time (whatever that may entail), or having serious discussions on the meaning of life (whatever that may entail), or anything in between. Drinking. Laughing my ass off. Playing Texas Holdem and other games. Eating good food. Watching movies. Sleeping. Farting. You know, the simple pleasures. But also: philosophy and learning almost everything there is to know. (How to pilot a plane, how to play a new musical instrument, how to speak a different language.)

I'd like to meet:

People who live in the Bay Area! San Francisco, San Jose, Monterey, Los Gatos, wherever! Let's hang out!

People who like to drink alcohol. :D People who like to play social games. People who like to act stupid one minute, then talk about serious philosophy the next minute.

Also, people who can speak Japanese (since I want to learn).

People who like Final Fantasy, video games, music, etc.

And, as always: New friends, old friends, celebrities, monkeys, etc.

Music:

Live music. Unplugged music. Mainstream music (alternative, rock, pop, ghetto, whatever). Anything original. And Weird Al Yankovic.

Oh, and MTV music videos from the 80's!

Good Dallas radio stations:
102.1 The Edge
106.1 Kiss FM
102.9 Mix 102.9
100.3 Jack FM
99.5 The Wolf
93.3 The Bone

Movies:

FUNNY movies, ACTION movies, TWISTED movies.Memento. Quentin Tarantino's movies (Pulp fiction, Kill Bill). M Night Shyamalan's movies (The Village). Adam Sandler movies (Click). The Matrix. Shawshank Redemption.

Television:

My Name is Earl

Boston Legal

Mythbusters

South Park

The Simpsons

Nip/Tuck

How I Met Your Mother

According to Jim

Alias
Buffy

I also like: The Daily Show, Jericho, Lost, Family Guy, CSI, X-files, Grey's Anatomy, Seinfeld.

I plan to check out: Heroes, The Office, Scrubs.

Books:

I bet I read more than you.

Heroes:

My nephew Bailey is, like, the coolest dude on the planet.

My brother Terry is, like, the coolest brother on the planet.

SHANE is freaking bad-ass. Friends since grade school. Nobody can top that.

KIP is bad-ass, too. Even though he's gay.

Dee and Steve aren't too shabby, either.
