About Me

You know, I really hate stuff like this because I hate talking about myself. But, you see I'm not writing this profile for myself, I'm writing it because a friend of mine (a sweet, sexy yet throughly demanding friend of mine) wouldn't stop pestering me about it. So, here you are my "friend"... My name is Mike. I'm tall. People enjoying pointing that out to me, so I'm going to beat them to it for once. I'm a Vegetarian who's pretty much a Vegan for all intent and purpose. And that's because I love animals but I'm not obnoxious about it. I also love sports. I love to play sports. I play softball a couple nights a week on a few different teams. Besides softball, I like baseball, football, basketball, ping pong, and air hockey. I love to cook. I'm the cook in the family and I really enjoy doing it. I've been collecting cook books and working on transforming recipes from meaty to not, it's been fun. Oh, did I mention that I have the most amazing, gorgeous girlfriend ever. She's this hot little genuis and she's the funniest person I've ever met. But, enough bragging, let's see, what else can I say here... I like to build stuff. Yup, stuff is pretty cool. I like to build lego models and holiday displays. One day I'd like to design an entire haunted house for people to run through screaming... I'm also experimenting with jewelry making. In my spare time I read a lot of magazines, like Ready Made, Arizona Highways, Toy Fair, EuroTuner, European Car, GQ, Trucks, Sport Compact, Grassroots Motorsports, Street Trucks, Fourwheeler, VegNews, etc. Speaking of trucks, I like driving my brand new truck. It's a White Nissian Titan Crew Cab LE 4x4, with a six inch Fabtech lift kit, LT315 70/17 BFG AT Tires and Pro Comp Xtreme Alloy 6005 17x9 Wheels. (It was my Birthday Gift.) I have a Boxer, named Sunny, as well as the 17 other animals. What else? I like Halloween, haunted houses, ghost stories and trick or treating. Each year my girlfriend and I turn her house into this giant haunted house on the outside. We go with a new theme each year, so that's always fun. Like I said before I'd love to start my own massive haunted house... I also like Christmas, Christmas lights, and creating holiday displays outdoors, my girlfriend and I do the same sort of thing for Christmas and create a giant display at both our houses. I also like to sketch and draw buildings, cars, landscapes and houses. What don't I like? Well, I hate small talk with strangers, doing the dishes, smokers, those stupid Tucson drivers who seem to have no idea how to drive, and I really hate stupid people. I don't want kids and neither does my girlfriend, so we're all set there, which is nice. My favorite Baseball team is the Houston Astros but I'm also a Diamondbacks fan. My favorite Football team is the Seattle Seahawks. And I hope that's enough information because I can't think of anything else right now, so I'm done.
