All I really want to do is point and laugh!

About Me


My best advise: Take every day and enjoying it to it's fullest. You'll never get it back. Truly live instead of just dreaming about it or putting it on hold. Do something that scares you a little bit every day and you will become stronger then you were before. Embrace your life. It is yours. Own it. Laugh, it is good for the soul and brightens up other's moods. Let go of worry, bitterness, and hate. It only takes you to the grave faster. Inspire and support others, your smile or help may just save them. Oh yeah... don't forget the jimmy hats.
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WHOOAA that was AWESOME!"

My Interests

Comedy, fixing things, gadgets, computer stuff.

Music:



I am all over the place when it comes to music. The only thing I hate is heavy metal. I mostly listen to stuff like Amos Lee, David Grey, John Mayer, Ellis Paul. Sometimes I will toss in some old country like Conway Twitty, Johnny Cash, Willy Nelson, etc. Then I also listen to all the new hip-hop stuff that's out. I don't have a particular artist, just whatever songs is hot right now... I can't get enough of that old school rap...brings back lots of memories.

Movies:

I like all the classic funny movies. Caddy Shack, Fletch, King Pin, Billy Madison, Clerks, Tommy Boy, Wedding Crashers, Grandma's Boy, Elf, Anchorman...I love Will Ferrell. I also like a good drama. I have been disappointed in the last 20 movies I have seen, only a few have been good.

Television:

Da Ali G show, Curb your Enthusiasm, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), 24. I watch a LOT of dorky documentaries. I follow the news and current political events very closely. My TV is on Fox News or The Science Channel most of the time.

Books:

First of all, I HATE to read...too many words. I do listen to lots of audio books. Getting to YES, Freakonomics, Raving Fans, Spin Selling, The World Is Flat, Bill Clinton - My Life, The Tipping Point...great book! oh yea, and I listen to lots of technology Podcasts....like www.twit.tv

Heroes:

My little sister Tasha. Anyone who will risk following their dreams. Oh yea, The Wonder Twins, Transformers, and Woody Wood Pecker.
