You may have also seen him as he played the character Ceth in "Shortbus"Welcome to my little part of the internet world. Its here that I place all kinds of stuff that hopefully tells you a little bit about me. I put up new videos that I like or have liked of favorite bands and/or just interesting tid bits. So visit often cause its always changing. There are things that don't change like my name: Timothy Ryan Teater. I was born May 27th 1969 in Springfield Illinois. I grew up on a farm outside of Springfield and attended Farmingdale Elementary. I then continued school at Pleasant Plains Junior High School. High School was a bit different and went to a private all boys catholic high school(Griffin)in Springfield Illinois. Earned my Bachelors of Science at Illinois State University and was elected by the student body as an Academic Senator. But eventually made it to Chicago in 1997. This summer I will be taking the GMAT and starting on my MBA this Fall!_______________________________________________________ _______ The more I understand and have these gifts the happier I am in life.12/13 gifts of life(not in any order): 1. family, 2. able to love, 3. able to dream, 4. importance of laughter, 5. importance of giving, 6. value of true friends, 7. able to learn, 8. value of hard work, 9. value of going through problems/adversity, 10.value of money, 11.show gratitude 12.gift of a day of living life. 13.gift of faith.______________________________________________________ _______ Currently not reading anything but GMAT preperation texts. Finished reading "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Albom and Christopher Rice's Novel "Blind Fall". I really enjoyed this book and can definately see his maturity as a writer since his previous work "Light Before Day". I also just finished Anne Rice's new book "Christ the Lord: Road to Cana" on Easter of 2008. It was just an incredible piece of storytelling. The last half of the book held me so tight I couldn't pry myself away. :-) Try and also read the first book of the trilogy "Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt" It very well researched and written. If anyone wants to borrow any of these let me know.Thank God I quit reading "Palestine:Peace over Apartheid" by Jimmy Carter. This book just plain sucks and not sure if I will ever finish it. Has any one read "Palestine:Peace over Apartheid" and liked it? Let me know. Still know one has said they liked this book.(as of 3/28/08)____________________________________________________ _________ "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that.."-Rocky to his Son in the movie Rocky Balboa ____________________________________________________________ I miss Brady Quinn playing for the Irish! Hey Browns put him on the field!
