Almost Spring Time!!!

About Me

To all out there, you should boycott Burger King: Not only is it bad for migrant farm workers. According to a recent New York Times Article, Burger King's refusal to pay a modest one penny increase on their price per pound of tomatoes has forced Florida growers to revoke pay increases already agreed to by other fast food chains. Join the fight and don't buy Burger King.
Beautiful summer here in Chicago. I would take the hard winters here just to have 70's in mid July. You can beat that. We have to enjoy it while it lasts which means plenty of outdoor things plan. Lucky there are copious amounts of outdoor events going on.
Living in the Avondale neighborhood near the Blue Line. Currently I am working at UOP in Des Plaines, IL as a chemist. What more can i say about that except that I love what I do. Research is so much fun. Ultimately it's not what expected to be doing but like I said above, I love it. So I plan staying here in Chicago for a long time to come."; I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

Anything and everything, Drinking Beer, Watching Sports, Riding my Bike instead of driving. Or just riding on the bus/Train, Watching movies, going out and just having a damn good time. I think that's all you can ask for.
One of my favorite things to do is to travel on the CTA here.Travel to neighborhoods I might never go to. Sometimes I just ride to ride. It's very relaxing to me.
Other stuff, I'm my days off (which are limited to weekends) I like to relax, read books, watch tv, anything to take my mind of the upcoming week. I love art i.e. modern, classic, and surreal. Pretty much anything that catches my eye.
GO SPURS GO!!!!!
You Are Beer!
You don't need to get totally wasted when you hit the bars.
More of a social drinker, you just like to have fun with your friends.
And as long as the beer keeps flowing, you're a happy camper.
But don't mix things up: "Beer Before Liquor, Never Been Sicker!" What Alcoholic Drink Are You?

As far as movies go I'll watch a lot of things and I love movies. I love them so much that it would be impossible for me to name them all on here. I love the classics which include the black and whites, science fiction and color. I usually catch most of these movies on TCM or on Bravo. I'm not a fan of all westerns but there are a few that are on my last. The same goes for action, although I have more action movies in my collection then westerns. But my all time favorites are Horror and Drama movies whether there are cheasy or very B flick I love them. I also Love Kubrick Films and Oliver Stone Films.

Television:

Got to love House, Family Guy, Simpson's and American Dad, The new greatest show however is Heroes

Books:

Currently Reading A Confederacy of Dunces, it's starting off slow but it's pretty funy so far. Check out Kite Runner and A thousand Splendid Suns, as well as A Time Traveler's Wife (excellent one of the best books)

Heroes:

A wise man once said that there are no heroes, only people who are in the right place at the right time.
