I don't come cheap but the kisses come free.

About Me

Well, I'm a dude from Chicago that continues to live in So. IL even though I've graduated from SIU. I have my Bachelors degree in Aviation Management, but I currently am a Guest Service Team Leader at Target. I don't mind it, really. If I'm lucky, my new career, whatever it may be, will take me to a city near a beach or at least somewhere that's warm for most of the year. As much as I say I don't like it, I miss living in Chicago. Yes, it may be cold in the winter but there really is not other city quite like it.My family means everything to me and I don't know who I'd be or what I'd be without my friends. My biggest joy is flying and I love nothing more than seeing open blue sky ahead of me as I soar through the air. I find those times to be the most relaxing moments of my life. I am a judger but only to those who deserve to be judged. I learn something new everyday and enjoy the knowledge that others share. Life without laughter, to me, is no life at all. The same goes for roller coasters and fun. My favorite season is Halloween. Yes, I am aware that I referred to Halloween as a season. I tend to see the glass as half full and try to make the most of everything. In no way, shape, or form am I perfect. However, the only thing I do flawlessly is just be me...

My Interests

I love to fly - I guess that's why I studied Aviation - and I love to travel/vacation all over the world. Destinations with beaches and places with roller coasters are my favorite. Aruba and Europe will always have my heart. There's just something about Germany, Italy and England that makes you melt. Even though I've graduated, I still love to party - a good time is a good time! When I'm actually free, there's nothing better than going on random road trips through So. IL. My goal is to get out somewhere warm with a beach so I can learn to surf because Lake Michigan isn't as awesome as the ocean. If I could, I'd spend my days at Six Flags, Disney World, or Universal Studios because they are all great places to just escape reality. Overall, I'd say I'm just a regular guy that just likes to have a good time whenever possible. I will say, I have this weird obsession with cleaning. Yes, it's as bad as Will Truman, lol.

I'd like to meet:

Paris & Nicole, John Travolta, Elvira, Matthew Broderick, Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton, Ellen, Kathy Griffin, & Megan Mooney - just to name a few, hahah. Taylor Swift and I are getting married - she just doesn't know it yet. Shhh! =]Back to reality, I enjoy just meeting new people.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

I love music - all of it. Every genre fits every mood or emotion that one could feel so there are no biases here.

Movies:

I love comedies and I love to laugh. The 80s had some of the best movies ever but just some of my all-time favorite movies are; The Goonies, Hook, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Hairspray (2007), EuroTrip, Pirates of The Caribbean, Mean Girls, Finding Nemo, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Enchanted, The Longest Yard, Elvira, Hocus Pocus, Over the Hedge, To Wong Fu, She's the Man, Saw, Talladega Nights, SuperBad, Napoleon Dynamite, Little Miss Sunshine, 300, Ice Age 1&2, Shrek, Juno, Batman ... the list goes on. To sum it up, I like a movie that can hold my attention but that doesn't say much.

Television:

Typically I watch; Ugly Betty, Dirty/Sexy/Money, Pushing Daisies, NIP/TUCK, the Real Housewives of Orange County, Airline, Project Runway, and Will & Grace. I'm weird tho because I like to watch music videos more than anything. I typically will watch Bravo or HGTV if I'm just watching the tube. I'll admit it, I like to watch the Disney Channel. My guilty pleasures are Hannah Montana and That's So Raven. What of it?And we cannot forget The Simple Life! They MUST get their own space of this section. Loves it!

Books:

Yes, I read in high school but not so much after. I read magazines but maybe one day I'll pick up a book... one day.At least I'm being honest, hahah.

Heroes:

My Family - for always being there and loving me unconditionally.My Friends - for always helping me up when I've fallen or making me laugh when I did not have my favorite day.My Grandparents - for being the inspiration that motivates me.The Wright Brothers - for giving me the gift of flight when I was born to walk.
