About Me

I am a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am.

Ugh, I hate doing this. I'm just a normal, average guy who probably likes sports a little too much. I'm the biggest Terps fan on the planet for better or for worse. I'm just trying to fill up this space at this point. I joke around a lot. I like to have fun and make people laugh - even if it's at my own expense. It's not often that I'm serious.

I'm pretty sure I want to run a marathon one day. Whether or not that ever happens remains to be seen. Someone please kick my ass in that direction. Okay, time to hit "preview" and see how it looks!

My Interests

Terps, Redskins, going to movies - I'd go to a movie a week if I could, the beach, golf, tennis, Bill Raftery, saying "dagger", Mitch Hedberg (RIP)

Intelligent people.

Why I’m a Nats fan

Nobody is going to care about this but I wrote this elsewhere and it got a good response so I wanted to preserve it. Plus I haven't done a blog in forever. I grew up an Orioles fan as a kid in the 80s...

Go see Little Miss Sunshine

Do not miss this movie. Even if you don't know what it is, just go see it blindly. I'm not even kidding. That is all.

Um.....did that guy just hit on me?

This doesn't even make sense. There's nothing about me that would suggest I'm even the slightest bit gay. So I have been wanting to see The Lakehouse for a while and finally got the chance. Before the...

Inside Man
