About Me

I have big dreams and ambitions in life. I want to travel to New Zealand, Australia, and Cape Town (South Africa). I love cars and racing and can't wait to buy more! :D
Overall, I'm a pretty easy going guy with a big dorky side, but I do have a crazy fun wild side ;) I've lived in the St. Louis area all my life, although traveling is always fun! Traveling is such great fun and you can see so many amazing things, meet new people, and learn all at the same time. I love meeting people and having a good time! This summer made it my second trip to Hawaii. Let me tell you, driving around Maui in a drop-top Jeep is one of the most amazing times ever! And hula girls are hot on the beach!
Sometimes just watching a late-night movie and talking until I fall asleep is an awesome way to spend a quiet evening instead of partying. I DO love kickin' it with my friends and playing some drinking games. Driving fast and cruising with the windows down on nice days, singing with the music, gives me a rush.

My Interests

I love to have fun with my family and friends. I miss my German Shepard - he looked mean, but he was a total baby! Sometimes I attempt to cook. Italian food is GOOD! I can make other stuff, too though. I love cars, which has been a true passion since I was a little kid. I have one of my dreams cars right now, a twin turbo Dodge Stealth. The other ones dream of are a Ferrari F355 targa and a '97 Porsche 993 Turbo. So hot! I like meeting new people, movies, music (always listening to it), billiards, swimming, bowling, boating,partying and a lot more. I love the rush I get after running or working out. I guess I'm fairly easy to amuse. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, though. I totally support our local sports teams! The people who took down all of their Cardinals stuff when we lose every year - you suck! We're going to rock next year and can't wait to see some more home games up close and personal. Just the way I like it =)

I'd like to meet:

First of all:

For Friends - anyone who is cool. I'm pretty social and will talk to nearly anyone. People who are shadey, lie, cheat, and disrespect others - I don't want you around me. I'm down for having a good time if it's just hanging out, going out for a drink/partying, watching movies, concerts, bowling, pool, Nintendo and other awesome video games, making out with my car, or whatever sounds fun.

I don't mean to sound negative, but seriously if you want a relationship for the sheer fact that you need to have someone all the time, that is dumb. I'm not here looking for a girlfriend. I want to meet some cool people and have fun, laugh, and be my dorky self. I'm not worried because everything that is supposed to be will fall into place.

Hellen Keller once said "Life is a daring adventure, or it is nothing at all." In my adventure, I'm going to do things right...

Music:

EVERYTHING - literally! I like classical, techno/dance, oldies, alternative, jazz, classic rock, punk, and some rap. I will seriously listen to pretty much everything under the sun. I think I would be totally lost without music, as crazy as that might sound.

..
If I was older in the 80's Cyndi Lauper would've been in trouble!

Movies:

Cruel Intentions, Gattaca, The Labyrinth, Toy Story, U-571, Hunt for the Red October, The Anchroman, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Rushmore, Eurotrip, Pirates of the Carribean, Breaking Harvard, Meet the Parents, The Anchorman, Dumb and Dumber, National Lampoon's Senior Trip, Old School, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Dirty Work, The Sandlot, The Ladies' Man, Fifth Element, Kung Pow, Boondock Saints, Gone in 60 Seconds... I could keep going because I DO love movies, but my hands would probably fall off!

Television:

If I had time for it.. I'd watch 24, Band of Brothers, The Facts of Life, I Dream of Jeanie, I Love Lucy, Simpsons, Beavis and Butthead, Family Guy, Saturday Night Live, Fraggle Rock, NYPD Blue, High Incident, Saved by the Bell, Enterprise, Tom Green Show.

Books:

My Corporate Finance Book.... DUH!

Heroes:

My dad, first of all =) My mom is awesome, too. Why them? Well I guess because I'm so thankful of everything they've done for me. I have so many great memories growing up and I was so happy, too. I was smiling in pretty much every picture of me when I was a kid (I think there's two where I wasn't, out of hundreds). Taking me on vacations, getting ice cream, going on go-carts, saturday morning cartoons - those were such good times! And last, but certainly not least, Foxie Cleopatra :-)

Day 1

Today was a pretty good day I must admit!  I went into the corporate office for training which was pretty easy.  It was, for the most part, a recap of things I already know, but I learned a ...

Words for the WISE!

It has come to my attention that some people, who shall remain nameless at this time, produce hilarious words (given their context) when trying to spell fairly simplistic ones.  Not to say that I...
