About Me

I'm a quirky kind of guy. Sometimes it can lead to awkward silences, but mostly it prompts a lot of uncomfortable laughter. The jury is still out on which of those is the more positive reaction.

I graduated from Stony Brook University last year with a Masters Degree in English. While you would think that makes me a tremendous nerd, you would be wrong. Actually, I'm more of a dork than a nerd and I'm proud of it!

Bill Trivia:

-I've only seen the Barenaked Ladies in concert twice. This fact makes me sad.

-I own the NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Dreamcast, PS2, PSP, Gamecube, XBOX, XBOX 360, and the Virtual Boy.

-When I was young, I had a wooden paddle that had a rubber ball connected to it with a rubber band. The toy made me so happy, until the rubber band broke. When my Mom tied the rubber band back together, the ball was too close to the paddle. This made it less fun, and epitomized my adolescence. Psychoanalyze that one, Freud!

-I love movies. At the moment, my DVD collection is approximately 300 titles. If you can describe a movie, more than likely I can remember the title. It's a sickness.

-I'm a big fan of going on trips. Within four months, I stood by a Mayan Temple in Mexico and the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada.

-Sometimes I dress up in my Space Ghost costume and walk around the house. I'm waiting for my dog to be dressed up like Brak.

-I like listening to new music and seeing new movies. If you know of anything I should hear or see, let me know.
