HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
First...thanks for checking out my page! I am so pleased that you took the time out of your day to look me up.To introduce myself, my name is Chris, and I am 20 years old. I live in Lower Paxton Township (a suburb of Harrisburg), work for an insurance company, and am enjoying my youthful years. I think (think being the key word) I am fun, outgoing, caring, and very open-minded. I like to associate with a variety of people - if you are easy going, open with your thoughts, and non-judgemental, I am certain that I will get along quite well with you!I haven't started college yet, but it is an important goal that I wish to accomplish in the very near future. I would LOVE to attend the University of Pittsburgh, but, because I have a car payment, a car insurance payment, rent, and utilities costs, this may not be a feasible option for the immediate future. Now, if I were to win the Powerball, that'd be a different story. Don't I wish I could have one of those sets of parents that pays for just everything???I work 40 hours a week, and I enjoy my job. It can be challenging at times, but from hearing what some of my other friends do for much less money, it is clearly a blessing from God.That's another thing; I love God. He does great things for me, and has blessed me on a number of occasions I could never begin to count; if you don't believe in God, that doesn't mean I won't be your friend - but, as anyone that knows me will tell you, I may try and make God your best friend, too!I LOVE doing things. They generally consist of shopping, especially at AE! They also consist of multitudes of road trips; some of the few places I have been include Orlando, FL; New York, NY; Pittsburgh & Philly, PA; Baltimore & Ocean City, MD; Bar Harbor, ME; Hayesville, NC; and most recently, Point Pleasant, WV. Let's keep in mind that I personally drive to all of these places. Due to a lack of excessive vacation time, I probably won't be headed anywhere too far this summer except a few weekend trips to OCMD. Now, as for next year, I am trying to go to Europe!!! The idea is to fly into Heathrow in the UK then take the EuroMetro to Paris, and then Rome. I want to go for an entire week and experience the best of Europe!!!I also LOVE my car. I have a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer, which is in pristine condition. Best-in-class horsepower at 275, with a 4.2L 6-cylinder engine. I am very proud of my car, and how clean I keep it (can anyone say OCD?). I am not very proud that gas is so expensive, but it has come down in recent weeks. Now I can fill 'er up for roughly $50.00.When I am not a) working, b) shopping, c) going on a road trip, d) cleaning my car, or e) driving through deep puddles which trigger the requirement of d), I also like to go to out to eat and chill at Starbucks with Dayna!!Best steak? Max & Erma's Laredo Steak (Pittsburgh ONLY). But since I can't drive to Pittsburgh everytime I want some steak, the Outback comes in second and Texas Roadhouse in third.When time permits beyond the above activities, I relax over at Danielle & Brandon's place. And then we go shopping. And then I do laundry. And then I iron clothes.Does it sound boring? Welcome to my life; but I tend to think it isn't.Additionally, I am making strides to lose weight. I've already dropped 1-2 pant sizes, depending on where I buy the clothes, and I've downgraded a shirt size. I'll be sure to post pics and update on my progress.The wisdom teeth are out! I've already gone in to the Ortho office and speed braces are set to come on September 13th. They said only 12-18 months and I'll be done - can anyone say HAPPY??? The only unhappy part is the $4,128 bill that I am paying; not my parents - me lol.

My Interests

Pittsburgh! Especially the Steelers (can you tell?)! Road trips! Music! Shopping! Movies! Food! eBay! I love the International House of Pans, conveniently found in Timonium, MD. And now running and eating healthy! Also spending my hard earned money! NOT getting pulled over in Pittsburgh for speeding twice in one day! Oops - strike that; just beat the first ticket! Nate & Eric! For any additonal clarification, see the "About Me" section lol!

I'd like to meet:

Clayton Diesel Haske first and foremost!!! Then, President Bush (I have a few words for him); Jake Gyllenhaal (for obvious reasons); perhaps Heath Ledger (but it'd be a one-time courtesy for those of you who used to work with me at AT&T Wireless lol); and Fran Harris (www.franharris.com). In actuality, the one person I wouldn't mind meeting would be Barbara Walters - she has met so many great people; world leaders, some of the worst criminals, etc. I'd like for Brandon to meet Amy Zeiters, Dena Focht, and perhaps even Enjoli Cunningham. I'd also like to meet Nate and Eric in a very personal way; one perhaps that they'll never fully realize or understand.

Music:

My XM Satellite Radio is my life while in the car to go along with my new system. For those of you who listen to XM, my most favorite stations are Top 20 on 20, KISS XM, MIX, Flight 26, XM Hitlist, U-Pop, The City, The Move, BPM, and The System. The new channels are loaded - and HOTTER than ever!!!As far as favorite artists, I have to give props to quite a few of my favorites, but not all - and by the way, if you have a problem with any of the bands or artists I like, DEAL WITH IT!...3 Doors Down, 50 Cent, Andrea Bocelli, Armin Van Buuren, Black Eyed Peas, Cascada, Debbie Loeb, DJ Sammy, David Morales, Deep Dish, Duncan Sheik, Enrique Iglesias, Foggy, Global Deejays, Goo Goo Dolls, Green Day, Gwen Stefani, Howie Day, Il Divo, James Blunt, Jason Mraz, Jennifer Lopez, Jenny Bliss, Jessica Simpson, John Mayer, Jonathan Peters, Kanye West, Kelly Clarkson, Kylie Minogue, Laava, Lasgo, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Ne-Yo, Paul Oakenfold, Rihanna, Ryan Cabrera, Santana, Sun, Tears for Fears (all because of Donnie Darko), and Weezer. But this isn't all of my favorite artists, lol.

Movies:

Steam Cloud Rising, The da Vinci Code, Crash, Rent, Collateral, Swimming Pool, Monster, Monster-In-Law, Donnie Darko, October Sky, Moonlight Mile, Orange County, The Day After Tomorrow, School of Rock, Brokeback Mountain, Titanic, SWAT, Boogie Nights, The Italian Job, Beetlejuice, and The Boondock Saints - just to name a few...

Television:

Americal Idol, Boston Legal, Crossing Jordan (done for the season), and of course Law & Order: Criminal Intent (also done for the season); not much time for anything else beyond these.

Books:

On The Down Low - what a story!

Heroes:

Jake Gyllenhaal & Heath Ledger for finally showing the world that a gay couple can LOVE each other! And Fran Harris for showing the world that a minority can be very successful! And Joan Bradford Lopez for NOT boning the loan (major inside joke - don't even ask lol)!
