About Me

Well first things first I love lacrosse. I played at Gettysburg and had a great time doing it. (even though we lost two National Championships) I'm an easy going guy who likes partying and haning out with my boys. I tell A LOT of stories, some amazing and most bad but all true. I do a mean T-Rex impresion. I like movies, any music ( but classic shit is the best) and most sports. I get a little to into the NFL season and the Raiders are my favorite team which is werid since I'm a New Yorker but if any of you know who Bo Jackson and Tim Brown are you know why I am a fan. I think a lot about weird stuff which isn't really philosophical but I was a philosophy major so my friends like to blame my weird questions and statements on that. I have a great dog who is a boxer (even though he doesn't like most people outside of my family) and love most animals. I have a lot of pipe dreams as my friends call them but hey if I can accomplish even some of those I'll be happy. Still trying not to make my old coach right when he said "When all things are said and done, most things are said and not done." good quote but sad to think about so I wanna do as much as I can while I'm still around to do it. "It's not the years in your life, It's the life in your years" And finally I have ADD so I can't sit and write for this long, so this is it.

Quizzes by myYearbook.com -- the World's Biggest Yearbook!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who will laugh at my jokes and has some good stories of their own. Gotta be fun and truthfull

Music:

Anything really...I know a lot of people say that but I have such a wide taste. I like rap, punk, rock, some metal, oldies, classic etc. I like CCR, Journey, 2 pac, Blink, Trick Daddy, Less than Jake, Johnny Cash, Aerosmith, the stones, Beetles, Green Day, Jay Z....etc.. you get the drift. Any others just as me. If its got some meaning or a good tune or beat Ill like it.

Movies:

Wow!.. too many to talk about. I like mostly comedies like all the Adam Sandler pics and stuff, Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, I like old ones too like It's a mad mad mad mad world. Back to the beach is a good one that most people don't know, I have seen to many to be honest. Teen Wolf (If my page song reminds you of this movies then you are my kinda person) Goonies, The program, Terminator, Kindergarden cop, Uncle buck, all the lampoons, Joe Dirt, Van wilder, Seabisquit, Borne identity, Oceans eleven, Monster squad, Back to the Future, Spiderman, walk the line, The Princess Bride, Labrynth, Eurotrip ... it could go on forever, i may add to the list but I haven't seen to many movies I didn't like so just ask me..

Television:

A lot of these too, I am realizing I am a dork... I like Sports Center, Entourage, Survivor, Seinfeld, Family Guy, Myth Busters, A bunch of game shows, King of Queens, Yes Dear....I don't have cable at the moment so any time i get to see that its a gift!!

Books:

Ok I have to admit it I read the Harry Potter books. I also like Angels and Demons and The Davinci Code. Jarhead was a good book as well as movie, Heart of darkness, C.S. Lewis' Cronicles of Narnia series, Malcolm X, The Right Stuff, On The Road, Alive, Tracks, and Into thin Air

Heroes:

I'm not sure... I would hardly call him a hero but I guess I am proud of my Dad for surving in Vietnam and getting a Bronze star and a purple heart. He also played minor league baseball for the Yankees. The cliche firefighters but my grandfather was a NYC fireman and you have to respect those guys for the job they do everyday. I have a ton of people I respect for the things they go through everyday and what they do but I don't know if I would categorize all those people as heros so Ill leave it at this for now.
