My Interests

Making my friends and family laugh
Music... listening to it, watching it live or on tv or whatever
Green Tea
Teams from Chicago, Syracuse Basketball, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid
Cheap Beer & Good Tequila, repeat
Football hooligans
Wearing a t-shirt with sleaves under it, jeans and a pair of boots
Girls in boy shorts underwear or in small pro sports jerseys (i am a sucker for a girl in a little Bears jersey)
People who can say what kind of music they like without using the word "everything" even if they do like a little of all genres
My ipod
Making my own t-shirts
Souffle Saturdays With The Sisters
Cake... and corn bread, corn bread is the cousin of cake
Brandon Boyd, Mike Ness, Josh Homme, Emily Haines
The color blue... orange is good too
Sushi or latin food
Guinness
Wrigley Field & The Dome Good wine but can't tell good from bad
Hookah bars but I don't go very often Deep dish pizza and italian beef and only Chicago style hot dogs... or at least without ketchup, thats just gross, Ron of Japan egg sauce on anything, Hoagie Hut and Martini's with blue cheese olives before a steak & aparagus dinner then finishing it off with an espresso
Being at a bar and hearing songs i have never heard before
Being at a bar and hearing A Tribe Called Quest- Scenario when I'm with the hommies
The North Side of Chicago and the view of Chicago's skyline when driving in from the Northern Suburbs
Lower East Side of Manhattan and the view of the city on the way to the Meadowlands
Melrose in LA, the view in Malibu and Amoeba on Sunset.
Playing craps until the sun comes up
Cloudy cold days but also going to the beach in tropical places
Taking naps for 2 hours
Not listening to voicemail
Walking around aimlessly in a city I have never been to before
Monkeys and bears but not birds
Browsing the Virgin MegaStore in Union Square for hours at a time, especially on Tuesdays
Chicago accents... also accents that aren't from Chicago but are easily heard... so I guess just accents in general
Going to smaller bars (either dives or just smaller lounges) not big promoted places full of douchebags and waiting in line
Not watching movies or continuation shows like 24 or Heros and not giving a damn even though I'm told its a "big mistake"
Answering questions or settling arguments using Wikipedia and while searching saying, "wiki wiki wiki"
Sitting with mongrels on long bus trips
Coffee as black and strong as possible
People that understand, appreciate, and reciprocate with the same stupid/random humor as myself
Hanging concert posters in the nook
Watching people fight on tv or live (boxing or ufc not so much street fights) while I am drinking cheap beer & good tequila
Watching the Bears on Sunday's with other transplanted Chicagoans at St. Mark's Ale House
Watching Tottenham Hotspur at Floyd in Brooklyn with the rest of the NY Spurs on Saturday Mornings
I hate the following sports teams (in no order)-
uconn basketball (my most hated)
pitt basketball
St. Louis Cardinals
Houston Astros
Green Bay FudgePackers (i do enjoy going to Lambeau though)
Minnesota Viqueens
Detroit Pistons, Lions, and Red Wings (don't mind the Tigers)
Cleveland Caveliers
Chelsea FC
Arse*nal
DC United
FC Dallas
