I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

There's really nothing special about me. I'm pretty much like any other guy you've ever met.
I'm originally from California and now live in Kansas. I'm married to a woman who amazes me more and more every day with her love, support, and understanding.
I am a sports fanatic. It's an addiction...I can't help it. I watch almost anything sports-related, (hockey and soccer being notable exceptions).
I don't have many friends, so the ones I have are as important to me as anything else in my life. I'll go to bat for them anytime, anywhere. You know who you are...
It's simple, really. I like people with common sense who are honest and don't sugarcoat it when I screw up. I avoid those who are prone to drama, stupidity and other pointless bullshit.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to have a deep conversation about life with Muhammed Ali and Lance Armstrong, sex with Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner, call a game with Joe Buck and get writing tips from Bill Simmons.

Another experiment - Probably boring to 99.9% of you

Part of the fun of being a Raider fan in the Midwest is that when the team is in the news, everyone comes to me for an opinion.  So, even though I don't have a ton of opportunities to talk to oth...

So many to hate....so little time

I've been thinking about this one for a while.  I have a lot of hate in my heart and I suppose this is a way to purge it in a healthy manner.  Perhaps it will become a recurring feature here...

An experiment

The light seared his eyeballs as he woke.  He blinked hard a few times, trying to stop the throbbing.  As his vision began to clear, he could make out six halogen lamps above him.  Or w...

Dad

On January 12, my dad was laid to rest after a brief battle with cancer. When I originally sat down to write this, I intended it to be the eulogy to my him that I did not have the chance to give. ...
