About Me

Pimp My Profile Pimp My Profile

I made my layout using Pimp-My-Profile.com

Winter has come. Let it snow in the mountains plentifully and thus shall I snowboard.

My life: I work out religiously 4 times a week, play volleyball at least 2 nights a week, have dinner with friends at least once a week, drink at least 1 bottle of wine a week, and otherwise eat drink and make merry. Apparently I also spend a lot of time nursing and rehabbing my various injuries - but I'm in damn good shape right now. I'm not that old, damnit. Can I just get a backiotomy and replace the whole damn spine (or at least the L5 disk)?

Drink of the season - It never gets old!

The Aaron Winter Special

------------------------------------------------------------ -


Ingredients:

3 parts Apple Cider

1 part Captain Morgan


Mixing instructions:

Heat the Cider Until it boils. Add the Captain. Enjoy! Guaranteed to warm you up in these times of cold.

Random Facts:

  • I just bought a house with my girlfriend Tina. I love it!!
  • I have 5 Seattle Seahawks season tickets. If you're lucky I might take you.
  • I'm a cat person, but I like dogs
  • I now own a Black Mica 07 Mazdaspeed 3 GT. SICK! Various mods illustrated in the car album.
  • I'm an audiophile. I bought my first CD player in 1986. My first CD was REO speedwagon, but I don't listen to rock any more.
  • I've been weight training for 12 years. No, I won't train you unless you're hardcore.
  • I'd rather be playing sports than watching sports.
  • I've been sky diving once and bungee jumping twice - and I'm scared to death of heights.
  • I lived in Germany for 3 years but I don't speak German.
  • I'm a snob: a wine snob (nebbiolo grapes = Barbaresco, Barolo and the little known Gattinara (And others I don't typically like)), a sushi snob (Shiro's is the best place in Seattle, and California rolls don't qualify as sushi), a clam chowder snob (Claim Jumper!) and a tiramisu snob (Olive Garden used to have the best but now it's not so good, and the old asteroid cafe. Salvatore gets an honorable mention. I haven't had the Perche'no Tiramisu yet because the mousse is exquisite)

    My Interests

    VB, snowboarding and working out. I play other sports, when I have to. Just about any game you can think of. I dominate at dominoes and scrabble. I'm starting to play poker more often. Mazdaspeed!

    I'd like to meet:

    Other VB players! People who have cars..trucks able to drive on snow... so we can go snowboarding of course. Gym rats. You know I haven't worked out with a partner in the gym in like 8 years but I sure wouldn't mind it. I always get better workouts that way. Nerds, but not Dorks. Geeks are ok.

    Music:

    Hip Hop: Alchemist, Mobb Deep, Jedi Mind Tricks, Little Brother, Atmosphere, Self Scientific, Deltron 3030, Zion I, Grouch. And most recently, local groups! Gayskul, Mr. Hill, Cancer Rising, Smoke.
    Ultra Chill: Zero 7, Air, Si Se, Flunk, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Goapele, Carmen Rizzo and anything else chill.


    XM RADIO!! Channels 65-68 (Hip Hop..R&B) and 150 (comedy)

    Movies:

    All the sequels this summer blew. F4:Silver Surfer=blah. HP:Phoenix=blah. Oceans 13=blah. Shrek3=terrible. Spiderman3=blah. Pirates of the Carrib=terrible. Now, Die Hard was good, and I'm guessing Bourne Ultimatum will be good. So far the Summer movie fest gets a solid C-.

    Television:

    Heroes! 24, Entourage, Battlestar Galactica (the new one). AVP VB. I started watching John from Cincinatti but I have no clue what the fuck is going on and it's 6 episodes in. Don't ask me why I keep watching

    FOOTBALL!!

    Books:

    Red Storm Rising, anything by Crichton, anything by Grisham, Robert Jordan 'wheel of time,' George R R Martin. Lately, the Nights Dawn series and basically all other books by Peter F Hamilton. This months playboy. I've been a subscriber for almost 10 years. Yes, I read the articles. Yes, I also ogle the hot chicks. I'm sick of all the fake blondes with foobies, tho. Natural is the way to go, plus Brunette's have more fun, I have proof.

    Heroes:

    My sister, who just got a bachelor degree at 32 while being a single mom. You go, girl.

    Hiro!
