About Me

Constantly learning. Ever evolving. Never static. That's me: humbly magnificent. The patience of a Saint, the focus of a sniper and the stamina of an ox. Utterly confident. Creatively unparalleled. A forward thinker who reads backwards. Multifaceted. Mechanically inclined. Clever by design and articulate beyond comprehension. Meticulously sculpted but slightly flawed. Bicycle chronic. eBay whore. I read people like books and I know what you're thinking: this guy is hilarious. Deceptively sexy. Simply irresistable. Your under cover lover no other would discover. I'm terrible. I'm funny. I'm terribly funny. Severely entertaining and brutally honest. I don't watch reality shows: I live one. I don't play the field: I own the stadium. I'll beat you senseless at shuffleboard then have the balls to show you a crab pose. I'm not a multitasker: I simply GET THE JOB DONE. More gadgets than Bond. Easy to reach but hard to get a handle. Quick on my feet and steady w/the hands. The NBA is my religion, Staples Center is heaven, Shaq is the fallen angel and Kobe is almighty. I don't dance: I boogie. My words know no limit. Karaoke? I'm more Hung than William. Golf? I'll hammer you with my wood. I'm into jigglies, not wigglies. And I'll roll your sushi then pound your mochi on New Years.
