The police often question him just because they find him interesting...

About Me

His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser mans entire body. His blood smells like cologne. He IS, the most interesting man in the world.I hate to rush when getting for work in the morning… so I pretty much waste about an hour to an hour and a half farting around. I watch Squawk Box, eat breakfast, read the paper for about 20 minutes, shower etc… A better measurement in terms of time to get ready is to state that if I were to only eat breakfast, shower and get ready it would only take about 15 minutes. So where does the reminder of my morning go… that is a good question. Heck, I swear I spend five minutes brushing my teeth (no, I am not OCD about teeth cleaning…). Then, perhaps it is that I dread having to put on my tie… Getting ready slow is my gig, to elaborate if I have a 7 AM meeting, I will wake up at 5:30 AM to ensure that my day starts with the right amount of fart around time. My only explanation is that I spend the rest of the day going about 350 miles per hour. I believe in getting things done, period, end of story. After that, I watch some TV, read, spend time with my buddies and/or work out. I guess one could say that I work hard, play hard and get ready real slow. Though on the weekends, I like to wake up and go….Less interesting information… Cross combination of smart ass, jock, lover, intellectual and comedian. I am me. I am pretty much a guy's guy. Never EVER, try to change, influence or prevent my enjoyment of watching sports and playing golf. It is a losing battle.

My Interests

Higher enlightenment, spiritual harmony or escaping the mundane, ah, that is BS... I like to play and watch sports!!! Specifically, I enjoy reading, great conversation, going on River Trips, playing golf, travel, enjoying the companionship of true friends and hanging out with my family.

I'd like to meet:

Stevie Ray Vaugh: To learn how he translated his passion into music Michael Moore: To ask him if the drugs in college got to him and if he is paid by the French with pastries Booker T. Washington: To learn where he found his inspiration daily Robert Jordan: To ask him how his series is going to end since he may die before the last volume is published! Shakespeare: Ask him if he used a thesaurus? Teddy Roosevelt: Where did his energy come from? Napoleon: To learn if he and “The Brain” uttered the phrases daily, “Try to take over the World!” Van Gogh: I would just want to tell him; “It’s alright, that once you’re dead your relatives will be rich” Eddie Murphy (young): Just to party with him Eddie Murphy (old): To tell him that he is not funny anymore and to remember young Eddie, also do another stand up concert My grandfather: Just to hang out with him as an adult so he could see who I became Bobby Jones: Ask him if he can help me with my golf swing! My dada (young): So I could learn what he was like as a young man and to raise hell together!

Music:

Jeff Buckley was ASWESOME! Pink Floyd sounds like a sonic orchestra. Rush is the best 3 man group ever (yes better than ZZ Top). Seal is underated. Elvis was bad ass. Coldplay is a poor version of Travis who is a poor version of Radiohead though I like all 3. Believe it or not, the theme song to ESPN is my ring tone...

Movies:

The Princess Bride is an all time favorite and The Royal Tenenbaums makes me laugh everytime... ok, anything by Wes Anderson is great... Rushmore, Life Aquatic, Bottle Rockets... Cachaw Cachaw! Ricky Bobby, Old School, Anchorman, Caddyshack, Major League, Hoosiers...

Television:

Jan 2005 – TV is useless. Beat your head against a concrete wall and drink Gin on a daily basis. That is your brain on TV.Sep 2006... Joined the rest of the planet and upgraded television to Tivo... well DVR package from Time Warner. Seems great... now I can record all those cool history channel, discovery and some games.Jan 200… DVR controls my life. Must pay homage to DVR... it is all wise and records shows just for me... I watch what it tells me to watch. Life cannot exist without it. It is all knowing and all powerful. What happens when the power goes out? Does the universe implode?

Books:

I am into Hemmingway and Steinbeck recently... plus I read the Wall Street Journal on a daily basis... best periodical in the country.New book - Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, awesome book. Talk about motivation and determination. Seriously, this woman graduated from the Hulk Hogan school of motivation.
