I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Dave. I changed my name on here quite frequently. It amuses me. I am truly blessed with an incredible family and group of friends. There is nothing I wouldn't do for them. I have made alot of mistakes in my life. And now I am going down the path to become a better person because of them. I don't walk down that path, I run down that path. My spirtuality has become very important and dear to me. I am not perfect by any means. I try to do good and always try to find the good in people. I will always put my family and friends before myself. Not because I have to, but, because I want to. They have earned that. You guys know who you are. Thank you for being there. I love you all.

My Interests

Running, competing in marathons, triathlons, and my faith. I have worked hard to make myself into a runner. I may not look like one, but believe me, I can a run. And I love it. There is no great feeling than accomplishing a goal that you train and work so hard to obtain. In never gets old. The pain, the injuries, and setbacks a runner has to overcome is all worth it when that medal is placed around your neck. I run because I can and I don't plan ..ping anytime soon. Look out Costa Rica, we will be there in 2009 for the Challenge. We are going to kick ass Mama! I can't wait!

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who has a postive outlook on life. We will always have obstacles in our way down the path of life. People that face these obstacles and are willing to make the sacrifices and effort to get past these obstacles are the people I want to be around.

The following video was sent to me from the best Life Counselor I could have been blessed with. It is a very moving, emotional, powerful, and extremely inspiring video. I was left speechless after I saw it...thanks T. GOD IS BIG!

Music:

Depending on what mood I am in at the time, I can listen to anything form the Beatles, to Limp Bizkit, to Rascal Flatts, to Mozart.

Movies:

I love watching suspense/thriller movies. Defintely love catching a scary flick. However, you can never go wrong with a comedy where you laugh your ass of for a couple of hours.

or is this the real Dumb & Dumber...

Television:

I like watching UFC event, sports, and comedies like My Name Is Earl. If Married With Children happens to be on, I have to watch it. How can you not like a guy like Al Bundy????

Books:

The Bible, The Secret, and any book written by Mitch Albom. I also read Runner's World, National Geographic Adventure, and any other running magazines I can get my hands on.

Heroes:

God. My family - Dad, Mike, & Jenn. I have a great family and they mean the world to me. Ryan for always being there for me and supporting me. Tanya for her guidance, knowledge, support, strength, and inspiration she has given me. She is a WARRIOR and I was truly blessed when He made this friendship. Bob and Shannon for the support, friendship, and encouragement they have given me. Annette for her fierce loyalty, toughness, and faithful friendship. Finally, and most important, my biggest hero is my Mom. It is a great feeling that I have someone so special looking over me. I miss her a great deal. But, I will meet up with her again someday and it will be well worth the wait.
