About Me

I enjoy life. Simple as that. I enjoy my family, enjoy my friends (holla if you hear me), enjoy my job, I enjoy a good bourbon or two... Goodtimes, goodtimes.
I wish I stayed in touch with more of my old friends, so if you are reading this, hit me up, I have probably been wanting to talk for a long time.
For those of you who don't know, here is a little bit about me:
I am serious, because sometimes you have to be
I am crazy, because sometimes you need to be
I am generous, because others have given so much more
I am friendly, supportive, caring, and loyal, because that is what I want in return
I am a little backwards I guess. I don't worry much about the big stuff... it all seems to work out. To me, it's the little things that matter... they tend to add up to big things.
I like to ponder life's strange contradictions, like:
* Why do bad things happen to good people
* Why do people (myself included) sometimes settle for less that what they deserve
* Why do people who say they want something, sit on their @$$ and just expect it to fall in their lap
* Why are some of the most attractive people, the most shallow and least interesting
* Why do people feel entitled to anything less than what they have created and/or earned
* Why do people expect more from others than what they are willing to give
* Why is it that the scrooges like to tell me that "money isn't everything" but they horde it to themselves
On a much lighter side, I LOVE to have good times with friends. I LOVE spending time with family. I LOVE meeting new people. I LOVE going to new places, trying new things, and pushing the limits.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I have no real "idols". I'm not obsessed with any one person. I don't believe in putting people on pedestals. When they inevitably fall, it's bad for everyone.

I like people with positive energy and I love people who over come the odds to get what they want, and I try to do whatever I can to help them.I especially would like to reconnect with people from my past and remember things long since forgot...

Music:

I like just about all kinds of music. Rock, Comtemporary, Country, blablabla.

Not too crazy about the 'Raa Raa Raa' heavy rock songs. I guess I tend toward the mainstream but I like to venture out every now and again :)

Movies:

Movies you ask? Where do I begin?!?! Yes I like musicals, yes I like romantic comedies, yes I like a good action movie, yes I like scary movies. I have 130+ of an incredible variety. I know, I know you have more OR you know someone who has more. Good for you/them.

Some of my favorites (don't laugh, it's a varied list):

* Moulin Rouge
* Waydowntown
* Garden State
* My Life
* About a boy
* Gladiator
* Braveheart
* In Good Company
* Van Wilder
* Blow
* Butterfly Effect
* Reality Bites
* Love Actually
* The Tao of Steve

That's just off the top of my head. Come over sometime, we can watch one or two :)

Television:

I do NOT plan my nights around what's on TV but I do like: Roswell, Family Guy, Lost, Prison Break, South Park, Law & Order... I just can't make up my mind :)

Heroes:

This is where I am supposed to kiss someones Hollywood ass and say 'You are my hero!!'... Not gonna happen

My answer: everyone who has ever been thought of as a hero for all the right reasons :)

Me, personally, my hero is the person:
. who lives their life with dignity and respect for others;
. who makes balance, not waits for it
. someone who even acknowledges the concept or need for balance gets a lot of brownie points :)
. who makes the right decisions because they are right, not to make anyone else happy;
. who finds happiness and contentment in life.

I have met very few and they would never consider themselves heroes (it comes with the territory) so should I? It's all relative :)
