About Me


"One Day....you will be old, you will be frail, and you will be slow...and someone will ask you...what did you do in your day, what did you do in your prime...when you were young and strong and fast and you'll tell em you were a New York City fireman, and when the day is done, and the page is turned...that will be enough."
Get comfy, this is gonna be a lil longer then some profiles, but it's worth it...
I'm going to be a NYC Firefighter. It's a very rewarding job. Look for me someday driving Ladder 85's rig. I'm like Bruce Willis , but cooler. Not As cool as Sean Connery though. But i'm on par with Stephen Colbert.
I live in New York City and I love this town. I promote this city like Don King. They Should Pay me. Minus the hair. Oh and i'm white, pale white. I am straightedge and proud as hell about it. If you don't like,that ain't my problem. If you spend your time getting trashed or stoned...That sucks....I won't push my ways on you if you don't push yours on me. I'm unique and I like it. I go against the grain and trends because I believe theres always a better way, not because I think it's "cool" to be "that" way. I don't want to be like everyone else. I want to be like me. I've been online...for well over a decade, longer then anyone I know.
I do photography and sometimes even get paid for it cause i'm that awesome. I'd love to start getting paid more, because i need money for....well...food. I bring my camera with me everywhere I go, cause you never know when you may need to take a picture, especially in this city. If you're reeeal nice I might show you my lil gallery deal. It's pretty sweet. I've had my shots put in a museum gallery which is pretty cool, i was even interviewd on the news for it. Many of my friends profiles have shots taken by me.
I like movies, quite a lot. I like TV, even more so. I love the Weather Channel more then a normal person probably should..I can seriously watch it for hours. I like to go on adventures. At all times, some of the best moments happen at 2am, like "The Night". I have 3 lava lamps. I cook, not just the microwave kinda cooking either. I'm a picky eater, but i'm improving, I even eat lobster. I also like Fries. I love Chocolate. I can't stand new jersey. It smells. I hate it and I don't wanna go there ever. I also hate math and trucker hats, but i love almost all other hats.
I am quite adept at the lost art of reading. Books, Magazines, Grapefruit Juice Cartons, whatevers around. I make great use out of index cards and juice carton pull tabs. I know many random facts and am a self professed Titanic nut, since BEFORE the movie was even thought of. I've been told I look like Finch from American Pie, I don't see it. I was once a huggggggge geek but am now mostly retired from "geek-dom." I live in the past a lot and am a sucker for old school anything.
I'm generally easy to get along with. I try to find humor in pretty much anything, cause a good laugh will always make people happy. I can be a bit forgetful, but it's not because i'm not listening...i just havea bit of trouble in that area. I'm not the best with names, but remember faces very well. I'm shy at first, but i'll warm up to you everntually if I feel I can trust you. Trust is very important to me. I will run you through a government style trust test, and if you pass, you're golden. If you fail...run. I stay up late. I like to be "on call" 24/7 if people need me for advice, random info or just anything. I go outside in hurricanes and sunbathe in blizzards. My favorite letter is "E".
I'm a Yankee fan. A big one. I think the red sux are horrible, and the mets are a joke. I'm not afraid to admit i'm a Nascar fan, though my favorite driver hasn't won since 1995. I'll watch football if its on, but i won't go out of my way to watch it. I collect quotes, quotes from celebrities, politicians,athletes,friends, whoever..as long as it's a good one. I supposedly have the most comfortable bed in the world though it's only accessible to a select few. As you can now tell I can be random. I'm superstitous. That's all I can think of for now...and yea, I know it was a lot to read, but half the people on here now don't put forth the effort, so i'm gonna.
By the way,it'd be cool if you could check out these sites that belong to my friends...I'm all about the support...so visit them or i'll...throw a pie at you. Thats right...a pie, and y'know what? It'll be key lime.
Chupys Art!
