Nice guys ALWAYS finish last - so why do I continue to be the nice guy?

About Me


I love sports and music. I mainly play (or watch) basketball, tennis, and football.
I'm always at the Univerity of Texas, at Gregory Gym, either playin basketball or working out. When I am on the basketball court, I can temporarily forget about every-day problems and troubles. Concerns that are related to yourself and everything that is going wrong in your life become secondary to concerns for your team. You are forced to make everyone around you (including yourself) better - constantly reminding yourself, "what can I contribute to the team."
I love, and live for, that type of challenge.

Music:

For all those people that are always wondering what that song is that you hear playing at Abercrombie & Fitch ...
Abercrombie&Fitch Music
(A&F Playlists since 2000)


For the music player below, just click on a song to play it. Most of the music is my favorite old-school Techno that I have remixed a little. I have also included some Top40 & International songs as well. Use the white scroll-bar to the right to search through the 75+ songs (i will probably add more music later). Some of the songs take a few seconds to upload & play so be patient. If the player is not working then the web site I'm using to host the music is probably down, so just try reloading the page, or check back later.
Enjoy the music :o)

When it comes music, I will listen to mostly anything, except country.
