About Me

Okay this is is me....I'm like every other human being - a contradiction of emotions and states of being. A melee if you will.

I'm sentimental, but throw away stuff as soon as it outlives its usefulness (or discover it has). I don't throw away people, as so many people I see in this city do every day.

I can do anything I put my mind to. I like to be challenged, but if you give me a no-win scenario, I'm not gonna be too happy with you! I will always be me.

I am the usual conflict of rationality and irrational that makes up 99.9% of the human race. I am Jack's smirking revenge...I'm not a poser. If that's you, please exit stage left. Thanks. I love the philisophical conversation as much as the juvenile joke. I will make fun of you when called for, but in all fairness, I will do the same to myself.

My Interests

Basketball, College Football, video gaming, going out with friends, telling stories, talking, traveling, doing something unique, eating out, late night random events, early morning treks

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is interesting to me. That's a lotta leeway. Also anyone that can teach me something or be a positive effect on my life. If you have read this far and don't know me, hello!

Music:

Well if i looked at what composes the most often listened to stuff in my iTunes it would be: Barenaked Ladies, Eminem, Dave Matthews, Ben Folds, Coldplay, Green Day, Matchbox Twenty, Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, Black Eyed Peas, Everlast, The Beatles, Dido, Moby, Beck, Sarah McClachlan, Tonic, The Verve, Public Enemy, Danny Elfman, Howard Shore, DMX and Sugar Ray...I have my reasons

Coach says you suck

So here's an article on ESPNI cannot imagine how funny yet painful this has to be for a bunch of high school kids to hear this kind of news from their own coach. All of this said, I would think this i...

So I went to the doctor's office and as the nurse was weighing me, he asked me what my height was. Forever I've answered 6'1" as when I was last measured as a college freshman, that was my height. He ...

Horizons

I can vent, I can rant...but it doesn't mean I'm mad. Sometimes it's to get that stuff out so it doesn't affect the rest of my day, etc. My emotions make me strong. They make me human. Sadly, the busi...

Observations

So I took Mike out to a jazz club that I know in Chinatown. It tends to be an unusual place (as if a jazz club and Chinese is not an interesting mix already). After listening to some bad guest singing...

What does one need to do to get some sleep? For the past few weeks, I have found myself able to get to bed, but not able to get more than 5 hours of sleep - tops. Traditionally I am a 7/8 hour sleeper...
