About Me

If you're going to tell people the truth, you better make them laugh; otherwise they'll kill you. - George Bernard Shaw.Hard work, dedication, commitment and sacrifice are the easy part. Itâ€™s the luck and timing are the seemingly impossible part.

My Interests

Snowboarding, animals, science, cracking people up, cars, and motorcycles even though mine got stolen. Also making progress in life and trying to be fit and healthy. Stacking up the cool points and making a positive difference even if it's a small one.

I'd like to meet:

People that don't piss me off.

Movies:

The Butterfly effect and Ground Hog Day are real good. Just because it makes you think, hmmm maybe if I zigged instead zagged this wouldn't have happend. They are good thinker movies.

Television:

I'm into The Office and Aqua Teen Hunger Force and a bunch of stuff in between. I catch myself watching the discovery channel and TLC alot too. I will also say that not Everybody Loves Raymond. That show is pretty weak.

Heroes:

Joseph Merrick, Jacqueline Saburido and people who recycle.

Wake me up.....from this nightmare.

I used to always have these bad dreams that my CBR some how got messed up. Plus, I always had this really big fear of this other thing happening. The first thing did happen, it was about a year a...
