Kill it, Bode!!!!

About Me

I am happily married (Oct 30th 2004). I have an extensive knowledge of random (and mostly useless) pop culture trivia. If I had a super power it would be Super Strength. I think Will Ferrell is the funniest man alive. Dogs should not wear cute sweaters or any other types of clothing. Training montages from Rocky always make me want to work out, but the desire soon fades. I always take too long to write a reply to E-vites because I feel like my response needs to be funny. I really like sushi. Fantasy Football is the best creation since real Football, but I sometimes take it too seriously and scream at my players while watching a game. Speaking of football, Fight on Trojans! I still play video games, but only when my wife's not around. I'd much rather have peace, but I can live with the reality of war. I've lost faith in politics but still believe that every person can make an impact.

My Interests

My wife Amanda, food, sports, meeting new people, movies, music, all things USC, and traveling.

I'd like to meet:

The living: Jesus (both Christ and the guy from the Big Lebowski... probably not at the same time though. And yes, I realize that Jesus isn't technically alive but I thought he should go first anyway... it's the least I can do), Will Ferrell, Charles Barkley, Kofi Annan, Nelson Mandela, Kanye West, Shaq, Billy Graham, the guy who invented TiVo, Muhammad Ali, Mikhail Gorbschev, Bruce Springsteen, the Dalai Lama ............................................................ ............................................................ ......................................................... The dead: Johnny Cash, Martin Luther King Jr., Winston Churchill, King Solomon, George Washington, Robert Kennedy, Alexander Hamilton, Ben Franklin, Ghandi, Dolly Madison, Helen of Troy ( I doubt she had "a face that could launch 1000 ships"), Alexander the Great (just not a date), Jackie Robinson, Abe Lincoln ............................................................ ............................................................ .......................................................... The washed-up or insignificant: It would be more exciting for me to meet random celebrities from the following list than someone like Julia Roberts: Scott Baio, Lou Diamond Phillips, Billy Zabka (Johnny from the Karate Kid), BD Wong, Treat Williams, Gary Busey, Carl Weathers, Hulk Hogan....................................................... ............................................................ ......................................................... Random Celebrities I have seen in person: the Fonz (I acutally met him), Lee Majors, Jason Hervey aka Wayne from the Wonder Years, Eric Bischoff (who was with Wayne from the Wonder Years), Maroon 5, Brandy, Ed Asner, Jason Alexander, Annette Benning, John Tesh... it almost sounds like an episode of Hollywood Squares..................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ...... Random Celebrities that have sent threatening e-mails to me: Ted Nugent

Music:

Here are 2 things I've discovered in the realm of music since I posted my profile originally:1. "Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen is the greatest song ever. If you don't agree I will punch you in the face.2. At my funeral I want the bagpipe version of "Amazing Grace" to be played.

Movies:

The Godfather is the best movie of all time. I've seen well over 1000 movies (as indicated by my ratings on Netflix) but this one should stand alone.

Television:

In no particular order:Alias, Being Bobby Brown, Made, Brat Camp, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Arrested Development, Scrubs, ESPN (actually, anything pertaining to sports), Project Runway (at least I mentioned it after the sports), House, Celebrity Fit Club, Dinner for Five, Project Greenlight and the greatest sitcom of all time: The Cosby Show.My least favorite show is Just Shoot Me. Insert joke here.Also, I am a firm believer that TiVo is among the world's greatest inventions.

Books:

New Book Recommendations: "Now I Can Die in Peace" by Bill Simmons aka The Sports Guy and "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. "Blink" is one of the most fascinating books I've ever read.
