Everything Happens for a Reason...

About Me

Time to change this up a bit. My name is Anthony... Tony to some. I am 26 years old and living in E. Lakeview. I grew up in the south burbs and have to say I would not move back because I love living in the city. I am looking to meet new friends. I absolutely love my current group of friends but hey, a new friend is always a good thing!I am a pretty simple person. I like alot of things; basically I just like to be doing something to occupy my time. My favorite past time is being with my friends. I owe alot to them and love them all so much. I also love photography and traveling.About me. I have both my ears pierced and two tattoos. (I want a third so bad!) I enjoy shopping, movies, dining, walks, nightlife, travel, hanging at home, anything creative, etc. I know I am pretty shy at first, but I'll warm up once I get to know ya.As my headline says, "Everything happens for a reason" and I am a firm believer in this. I have gone through some rough times, but I continue to learn from my "mistakes", grow stronger, and push on. Life is a challenge. I have learned that if you do not stop and enjoy it and make it everything you want... it will just pass you by.Anyway, if you care to chat, give me a buzz. If you have AIM the name there is casinokid81.

My Interests

I enjoy doing just about anything, as long as I am doing something. Traveling, shopping, being outside, staying in, seeing friends, occassionally going to the bars, dining, going to the gym, designing, writing, and anything creative. My latest interest has been photography. Looking forward to going out on a shoot and putting something together. Some of my "work" is on my pics page.

I'd like to meet:

Looking to meet new friends, pals, companions, etc. Would love someone to show me new and fun things to do in and around the city or at other areas of the country.Life is about having fun.

Music:

I love all types of music from instrumental to "top ten" on the radio. It all depends on my mood. I believe music makes a mood; music is a mood.

Movies:

I love alot of different movies from old classics to musicals, comedy, drama, and I absolutely LOVE horror movies! One of my favorite movies is Steel Magnolias! (So many life lessons! LOL "If you have nothing nice to say, come sit by me.")

Television:

I don't watch alot of tv these days. Golden Girls and Roseanne are always good for a laugh. I also like Family Guy and CSI and tv gameshows. I have to admit I still LOVE watching WWE wrestling also. (Randy Orton is my boy! Shh, quiet!)

Books:

Places I have visited...

Heroes:

I have to credit my parents. They have been with me in support throughout my life and with everything I have done and choose to do. My sister and brother... I love them so much and am so proud of them and who they have become and what they have accomplished in life. I also have to recognize two of my closest and best friends Jason and Maggie. They have been with me through so much and have helped strengthen me and guide me to be who I am today. I am fortunate to have a few great friends and I love them all dearly. They are definitely the ones I call at any hour of the night when I need them, to laugh a good laugh, cry a few tears, vent some frustrations... I have learned a lot from each and every one of them, each one unique in their own, but overall they have taught me to live life, have fun, worry less, make memories, and all is good. Life is about having good times and enjoying the moment.
