About Me

I'm an average guy, born and raised in NJ. I've been living in VA since I came down to Tech for school at 18. Ask if you'd like to know anything in particular about me.

This song is great. Way too many of the things apply to me.

"'Great, now I have to create Republicans.' And God wept." - Bill Hicks

"The only difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler was elected." - Kurt Vonnegut

"The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities." - Sophocles

"The more I see of this world, the more I am dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense. "- Jane Austen "Pride and Prejudice"

My headlines are song lyrics picked by whatever mood I'm in at the moment. If you want to know what it is from, just ask.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Celebrity wise: Stephen King, John Popper, Eric Clapton, Nelson Demille and several other authors and musicians. More reasonably, anyone looking to hang out and have some fun.

Seriously? That’s the best you could think of?

While working at the store a couple of things have caught my eye that make me wonder how much marketing people drink on the job.  I know there are a lot of products out there and you have to make...
