Oh my my... Oh hell yes...

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator What up what up. I'm a business major- transferring to San Jose in Fall '07. Can't f$#@ing wait. I give people booze and get paid for it. It's a fun job and I enjoy it... guess I'm pretty lucky. Sports pretty much rule my existence. Maybe that's a little strong... but I'm a fan. I love NBA ball... Trailblazer fan from my first breath of air. Since 8, I played bball like it was a part-time job but I've been playing a lot of baseball and softball this last year. It's easier on the ankle... mine sucks. Anyway, I consider myself to be a simple guy. I'm laid back, have a great family, cool friends, two good jobs, and go to school.Let your boat of life be light
Packed with only what you need
A homely home and simple pleasures.
One or two friends, worth the name
Someone to love and someone to love you,
A cat, a dog, and a pipe or two,
Enough to eat and enough to wear,
And a little more than enough drink...
For thirst is a "dangerous" thing. - Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men In A Boat"I’m gonna live for you,
Not gonna die for you.
So as the years goes by,
I’ll be there for you.
It was a charm,
First time girl I held you in my arm"- Cocoa Tea, It Was A Charm

You Are the Investigator
5 You're independent - and a logical analytical thinker.You love learning and ideas... and know things no one else does.Bored by small talk, you refuse to participate in boring conversations.You are open minded. A visionary. You understand the world and may change it. What number are you?

My Interests

I have a big interest in sports. I watch, I play, I read, and I buy. There's few things I'd rather do than to spend a day at the ballpark.Like anyone, I like to go out on the weekends. Hangin' out floatin' on the American River is a favorite past-time, especially on the 4th, Memorial Day, and Labor Day.When the season hits, I'm a part-time softball stud. Can't wait until March!

Books:

This book opened my eyes. I recommend it. For those who don't enjoy reading, The Tao Of Pooh, by Benjamin Hoff, is only 158 pages of 7"x5" paper. Definately worth the few hours it takes to read it.

Heroes:

Your heroes will help you find good in yourself.
Your friends won't mistake you for somebody else.
They'll both stand beside you through thick and through thin.
And that's how it goes, with heroes and friends.
-Randy Travis, Heroes And FriendsThere is a point where you can't walk away,
Where you have to stand tall and mean the words you say.
There is a point you must decide
Just to do it because it's right.
That's when you become a point of light.
-Randy Travis, Point Of Light
Nine-time All-Star, NBA Champion, Olympic gold medalist and Hall of Famer, Clyde "The Glide" Drexler.Career Summary
Bio
StatsMy BabiesWith the help of the next door neighbors, my family in Lathrop, CA and I saved three kittens from between two fences about five feet high. They were malnourished, dirty, and were being barked at by three dogs below. Their eye were sealed with 'goop' and dirt. The vet later estimated them to be three to four weeks old. We found them on 4.15.05. Here they are.
These are the kittens the day we found them, 4.15.
This is Hamster. He knew exactly what to do.
This is Miles, I call him Orange.
This is the runt. She passed away on 4.24... a sad night.
Hamster again... growing up fast.
He enjoys catnip.
Tuckered out after running (sort of) around on the bed.
Exploring the hallways.
Best buddies.
Whatever's comfortable.
Wiggin' out up in the perch.
Takin' care of each other like good bros. should.
Chillin' in the perch.
Looking like a gangsta.
Orange scoping the area.
A big help.
Relaxin'.
Aw.
My Three Sons!
