About Me

I am a partner in the successful law firm, Dumb & Dumber. I'm the smart one. I make $150,000 a year. $100,000 goes to FICA and $50,000 goes to lottery tickets. For extra dough I work late shifts at McDonalds. I like the people there, especially this guy named Ronald. My wife is an interior designer for a company called "It's on the Outside that Counts." We have 5 kids. Their names are Shawn, Shaun, Shan, Sean and Shawna. That's pretty much me to a T. Oh yeah, I drive a scooter. It's a bitch dropping the kids off at school with it, but it gets great gas mileage.

My Interests

I just enjoy hanging out with friends and having a good time and laughing. I'm a big fan of music, love sports (I've played nearly all of them) and anything else that makes me laugh or brings a smile to my face.

I'd like to meet:

George Dubya. I just want to tell him I think it's great that I had a higher college GPA than the president. I may never get to say that again.

Music:

I'm a pretty big fan of alternative, R&B, rock, 70s, 80s and 90s music. Pretty much anything. KROQ and Star FM get my attention. My iPod will confuse the hell out of you.

Movies:

too many... Good Will Hunting, Disney's the Rookie, Field of Dreams, Without a Paddle, Rudy, The Sandlot, The Rock, Remember the Titans, 50 First Dates, The Rocky Series, Top Gun, Gangs of New York, Jerry Maguire, The Patriot and tons more.

Television:

I watch the Discovery Channel, the Learning Channel, the Comedy channel, sports stuff and sitcoms.

Books:

"Stand and Deliver," "Sole of the Game" and "Counting Coup." Here are quotes that came from books or smart people who wrote them: "Learn from the past, live in the present, prepare for the future," "Walk in someone else's shoes," "Learning is best accomplished through mistakes" and, finally, "Laughter is the best medicine."

Heroes:

Lance Armstrong.
