About Me

Allow myself to best describe.......myself by drawing similarities between recent celebreties or leaders and.....myself. There is a stark similarity between me and Ernest Hemingway, Brad Pitt, John Lennon, Bill Gates, Oprah, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Robert Downy Jr., Micheal Vick and Benicio Del Toro. I sometimes drink too much, I can't hold down a girlfriend for very long, I routinely have authoratative figures question my ideas, I was a geek in High School, I pretend to listen to people but sometimes really don't, I smoke too many cigars, thus far my career attempts have been failures, I've been in jail before, my brother has been in trouble with the law a few times and I have a gambling problem (refer to Snatch). Beyond that, I read like an open book.

My Interests

Probably the funniest video I've found yet

I'd like to meet:

1. George W. I don't like being a bystander with a half informed opinion of the guy. I want to truly know if hes as ridiculously incompetent as he seems. 2. Rove. I'd like to learn how to turn the cranks of the world through a half-wit. 3. Marisa Miller. probably the hottest SI swimsuit model. 4. Plummer. First to shake his hand and second to give him a nuckle sandwich. 5. Sophie. No one in particular, just a hot French girl named Sophie. Sixth, 6. Sophie's family in France. I figure at that point I'd be close to marrying Sophie. 7. My brother back in high school. Promise I wouldn't have held you over the fire. 8. Richard Branson. Probably the coolest entrepreneur in the world. He'd show me how to start my own airline. 9. William Hung. I'd probably punch him in the face 10. Anna Nicole Smith. I'd probably punch her in the face.If you didn't make the list, don't worry. This type of thing changes daily.

Various occupations throughout life

So here I am at Microsoft and I was just thinking about all the different occupations I've had through life and thought it might be fun to try and list everything I've done to make a buck. Here it goe...

Want

Do you deserve it? More importantly, do you want it? I never really understood what it meant to 'want something' until Chicago.
