About Me

Hello. Welcome to my version of reality. I'm a Chicago native getting used to life in Oconomowoc , WI (AKA: The OC) even after 3+ years (probably moving soon). Then again, maybe you can't totally understand it unless you've lived here all your life. Why am I here? Long story (one that gets longer all the time), but I'm enjoying life here in Wisconsin for the mostpart. My interests range from computers (I work offsite running the research department of a media software company) to music (most types are ok with me, but in the end I favor alternative sounds) to sports (baseball's my favorite...GO GO WHITE SOX!!!...even if '07 wasn't their year, '08 was better!). I also play sports (inactive volleyball and softball this year, but I will play again...). It's also nice to go out and have the occasional drink. I tend to be open to trying new things and have had many new experiences since I moved here two years ago (some good, some shitty). Life is what you make of it and if you're open to having fun and learning from the experiences, good things will happen. I'll have more to say before too long and it should get somewhat less boring on this page (ok, that's probably a lie...lol). In the meantime, I hope to make some friends on here, whether local friends or friends from anywhere else. Feel free to ask me anything. Adios for now. :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

people who are at different levels of insanity, people of varying experiences who might be fun to talk to, folks from my old neighborhood, folks in my current neighborhood, people who are from anywhere who may or may not share my interests (we're certainly not all the same). People who don't want to call me out for minor faults on occasion (maybe too much to ask). You can never get enough good conversation or find enough interesting people. We can all stand to learn something new. I like to think I learn something from everyone I come across (whether they mean for me to or not).

Sometimes the right thing to do is also the wrong thing...

I’m feeling a deep sense of shame right now. I probably shouldn’t, because to many people, I probably did the right thing. It’s one of the true connundrums of life. In this case, my ...

The Obvious Question Of The Day and Some Observations

Where were you five years ago today? I'd really like to know. I remember still being asleep and the phone ringing. I remember my mom in "maniac mode" on the phone screaming, "We're being attacked! We...

You know you live in the country when (and other ramblings)...

someone's cruising the neighborhood in a HOT AIR BALLOON! Jeff Foxworthy I am not, but I feel like it's something he would have said. There's rarely a dull moment out here, even when there's a lull. ...

Grizzly Adams Is Dead...

No, not the real one. Come on... I got my hair cut. I almost look human again (well...civilized might be a better term). When I have the chance, I'll post pics. Rock on, John

The first blog is a meaningless one, but what the Hell!

To all my wonderful friends: First off, I'm going to start rotating my Top 8 once in a while. Many deserve the" honor and prestige" of my Top 8, so don't be offended if you disappear for a while. You...
