Scared...you really are?

About Me


I'm not scared
35, Male, time changed me from a punk to a semi-respectful abiding citizen, or have I?

My Interests

Die-hard Denver Broncos Fan!NY Yankees are a close 2nd!Colorado Avalanche comes afterwards...On the "futbol" arena, I follow Borussia Dortmund from GermanyAs well as Manchester United from the U.K.When I actually do go clubbing, it's usually QXT (not often enough unfortunately: I have issues obviously)Here's the resource I look upon to see if anything's coming up (shows, events, etc.) around the NYC area:My brother and I have been stocking up on red wines. Currently my favorite vineyard is Gary Farrell Cabernet/Russian Vally 2001. I was able to acquire 2 bottles, but unfortunately, my brother and I killed a bottle with our meal on Labor Day:I used to travel all the time, now I only go when I have a real reason to go. I've seen some cool things in recent years. I've been quite lucky. I would never take it for granted because anything can happen and the opportunities could just dissapear. To start, gotta choose 1 airline so you can rack up on frequent flier miles: I'm invested in Continental Airlines (even thoough most people I know rather go on Jet Blue, Virgin Atlantic, or British Airways):I was fortunate to see The Cure live March 2006 @ Royal Albert Hall in London. The actual theatre is beautiful, but the seats hurt my rear as time passed on:My younger brother and I went on a boat tour to the glaciers in Prince William Sound, Whittier, Alaska August 2005:Took in a little culture when I was in Miami June 2006 with my younger brother:Hit 2 flushes and a a full house playing "Let it Ride"When I was in Las Vegas May 2005 (I stayed @ Bally's because my dad has comps like you can't believe. I got hooked up!:Locally, I was really fortunate to have seen Dead Can Dance @ Radio City Music Hall October 9th, 2005. I went with 2 of my closest friends & my younger brother. I kid you not, I shead tears during Sanvean:I haven't had the best year (2006). As a matter of fact, I've had problems ranging from the physical to the mental. There were times when I thought I would give up, then I would remember that there are others out there that look to me for the same answers that I search for in others. I suppose in the end, we're just looking for a reason: A reason to take a breathe, let it out, and take in another one. Hopefully the rest will fall into place if one has hope. That, my friends, I do...
