Go With What Got You There

About Me

I used to rock real hard but now I'm more of a computer geek. I sat on my third pair of glasses so yep, they are taped. Oh, I have tons of freckles too so you can play connect the dots and make your favorite constellation. Freckles sucked growing up on the Jersey Shore. I was always out-tanned by the olive skinned New Yorkers. Dis. In college I tried sunless tanning lotion but I put it on wasted and the next day my friends said I looked like Homer Simpson. You know, his mouth area is darker than the rest of his face. Anyways, I quit cold turkey and then got into gambling on sports. Tons of cash advances off my credit card came after that. I told my mom "you had to be in it to win it"and she cried. I still have yet to turn a profit from that crap. I came out to Minnesota to be in a band with my college roomate. Now, I live off all the royalty checks from all the the music we licensed to the Bonzai Burrito chain. I'm currently obsessed with the art of advertising, making jingles for commercials and lipsyncing to my own pre-recorded voice. If you ever see a commercial for Allianz Life Insurace that has an old guy jumping out of a plane and hear a whistling song, that's my tune. Um,I stay up super late almost every night and host after bar parties. It's starting to take a toll physically so I started to run again. I don't really like running around the same frickin' lakes over and over these days but sometimes you just have to get out into the sun. I ran the 2001 Twin Cities marathon in 3:49:00. I broke 4hrs...yeah me.Oh yeah, once I used plaster of paris to make a cast on my arm to get out of a fight with some guy. He knew karate. Of course, I kept it on and went to the bar to get some sympathy points from girls. I claimed I was on the ski team and had an accident on the slopes. It seemed to work temporarily until the next day when the girl I was talking to for most of the night was in my painting class. I had chucked the cast in the trash the night before and got soooo busted. We became awesome friends though. blah blah blah... Lesson learned..now I'm chivalrous. Other stuff I do.
