So it's sunrise. Sober eyes. See my world spin around. Crowded bars and crumbling towns.

About Me

I'm a fun guy who likes fun people. Let me tell you how I got this way. I grew up in Oconto, Wisconsin. It is a thriving metropolis which now has two stoplights. I really didn't want to live there anymore so I decided to go to college at Marquette University in Milwaukee. Basically I haven't left Milwaukee since. I visit O-town, O-compton or whatever the prefered nomenclature is every now and again, but I don't make it back there often. Oconto is where I started my love of music. I started playing piano at a young age and then moved onto saxophone, guitar, bass and then drums. I had felt like I almost conquered the rock and roll world and decided that I should stick with bass. That takes me to where I am now. The band i'm in, Fear of Water is really coming along nicely. If you like music check us out because we rock. We have some real estate here on myspace, so search for Fear of Water or go to www.fearofwaterband.com. I play bass and sing off key. We have been rocking the socks off of Milwaukee and will hopefully make it to a place near you soon. Otherwise come to Milwaukee and the area and check us out. if nothing else you can get drunk while listening to us. Some other things about me, well, I like music and sports and having fun. I have always known this, but I have just recently re-realized that I want to be Ferris Bueller. After watching the movie once again, along with all of the bonus features, I really want to be this guy. Think about it. He has a really hot brunette girlfriend(very nice), he has the ability to get out of any situation. He can take a turd sandwich and turn it into the finest filet mignon that you have ever had. I mean the guy is the ultimate dude. Just as the school secretary said it; "He's a righteous dude!" So if I could be him, I would. I mean who wouldn't. If I can be anything like him I think that would be good. Let me know what you think. Your results:
You are Spider-Man Spider-Man 90% Iron Man 80% The Flash 70% Green Lantern 70% Catwoman 60% Superman 55% Robin 55% Hulk 50% Batman 35% Wonder Woman 35% Supergirl 30% You are intelligent, witty,

My Interests

Music and sports. Also long walks on the beach in the setting sun. Those walks can include other people, that might be cool. I've actually never really done that but it might be cool to someday. It would probably work better in California or some place like that, but I'll take Milwaukee for now. I do have other interests, but I'm not being too creative right now and the rest of what I have written is kind of lame. It's good that at least I realize that. Right?

I'd like to meet:

Cool people. Matt Wong(again), Neil Diamond, Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Elvis, Canadians. Oh yea. Kelly Clarkson. I love her. Ferris Bueller and Matthew Boderick. Every since that movie I think he is the coolest guy ever. And of course Conan and Forss Fagerstrom.

Music:

I like country and punk/ska mainly. I do listen to pretty much anything with a few exceptions. I also love Kelly Clarkson. I'm not sure why. Maybe some day I will tell her that we are dating. I hope she takes it well. As far as bands go: Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Goldfinger, Catch 22, Fear of Water, Jimmy Eat World, Punchline, Neil Diamond, Elvis, Brad Paisley, Montgomery Gentry, Tenacious D, and too many others to mention or think of now.
Your Band Name is:
The Hard-drinkin' Zookeepers Band Name Generator

Movies:

Mainly a comedy guy, but i do like some serious movies. I am constantly quoting movies. It's a disease. I can't stop. Here are a few: Super Troopers, Dumb and Dumber, Out Cold, Days of Thunder, Mallrats, Clerks, Baseketball, Saving Silverman, Tommy Boy, The Big Lebowski, Spaceballs, PCU...plus many more.

Television:

I love Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, Family Guy, Chappelle's Show, South Park, Reno 911, Brewers baseball, Marquette Basketball, Packers Football, Bucks Basketball...mainly any sports on TV.
Which "Saved By The Bell" Character Are You?

Books:

I'm reading the Left Behind series right now. I am also reading Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman. It is a hilarious book on pop culture. I am also reading When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops by George Carlin. Interesting to say the least at this point. Maybe I should just read one book at a time.

Heroes:

I know that I have some heroes...but I can't think of them right now. I suppose I really respect people that stand up for what they think is right and go after what they want no matter what the consequences. I wish I could be more like that. Maybe someday I will gain more confidence and be able to do that kind of stuff.

Take the quiz:
Which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle are You?

Michelangelo
Awe YAH! You're the party dude! You enjoy goofing off and pulling pranks! Life's a beach! People NEED you in order to lighten up! Happiness isn't a destination, it's simply a way of life! You like games, sports, and many different activities involving showing off your athletic skills! Does annoying your sisters and brothers count? Ehehe! You enjoy being the center of attention, the star of the show, and the known joker of the group! Gotta make 'em laugh!
