No Pads, No Helmets... Just Guts :)

About Me

I have been told that I live a charmed life, which is more or less accurate. I am blessed with the most amazing friends, a bunch of characters that I grew up with and some new folks that I met along the way. My family is crazy, but the good kind of crazy... just the way a family is supposed to be, rowdy and fun, supportive and comforting, quirky and wacky, and, well, crazy. My mother and father are my two favorite people in this world. I believe in karma and because of that, I try to be a good person. If I'm not, then I am pretty sure it will end up coming back to bite me in the a**. I suppose it's a bit ironic to be kind to others in order for good things to happen to you, but I have always been a tad selfish. I consistently want to and try to be a better person.

My Interests

I enjoy spending time with my friends; chill bars are my preference as I am not a big club fan. I like drinking, dining out, traveling, and just recently POKER. I am also a fan of the quiet alone time.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone. Everyone. No one. That's deep, isn't it?

Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Evanescence, David Gray, John Lennon, Avril Levigne, Beyonce, Billy Joel, Carrie Underwood, Chicago, Dido, The Dixie Chicks, Five For Fighting, Garth Brooks, Hinder, Hoobastank, Jewel, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Maroon 5, Norah Jones, The Wreckers, Rascal Flatts, Sarah McLachlan, Shakira, Tim & Faith, and Kelly Clarkson

Television:

Books:

I am not as well read as I used to be or as I'd like to be. I am currently engrossed in The Harry Potter series and awaiting the release of Book 7. I also liked The Quarterlife Crisis and I read magazines fairly frequently.

Heroes:

My parents are my heroes.

Ya'll

So, I said ya'll in a dream the other night, and now I find myself to be using it compulsively. While playing kickball, while talking on the phone, while at a bar, it's ya'll this and ya'll that. So...

Mugging

I got mugged on the subway the other day and thought God might be trying to send me a message. Several possibilities: 1. Don't take the subway 2. Get rid of ex's jewelry 3. Buy American (this on...

Ironical

It has come to my attention that ironical is technically NOT a word... This disturbs me. Things can be theoretical, hypothetical, musical, classical, or even downright maniacal, but never can they e...

Sarcasm Poll

If you rank sarcasm as one of your best virtues, does that make you a bad person?
