Life is like...

About Me

Moved here about a year ago. Love the city. Like most people, annoyed by some of the fake Dallas people, so why do I like Dallas? Enjoy being outside, hanging out with friends, and taking on whatever life serves up._________________________________

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

My Interests

Marathon training, reading, and cooking. Also a devote fan of Houston sports teams. So if anyone wants to strike up a conversation of Van Gundys's specaial cast of nobodys, or the return of the House of Pain or why the World Series of 05 proved baseball does not need a salary cap, I'm your man.

I'd like to meet:

That small percent of the Dallas population who is able to set aside status and can have a real conversation with just anybody. It's funny to me how much that "come as you are" feeling is lacking in society today.

Music:

A little bit of everything, really anything that was created with some type of artistic energy and not just the crappy cutout approach. I have to be in the mood for country and hip-hop, which is really all the same to me. One is want-to-be songs of the heartland with an annoying twang and the other is want-to-be songs of the street with a usually annoying beat, which is mostly sampled anyway.

Movies:

So far in 06, Layer and Cinderella Man (nice chick flick, too bad very few females would probably want to watch it since it is romantic and bloody)

Books:

Too many to name, but rarely anything really stands out. I look forward to hearing suggestions.

Heroes:

My savior, Jesus Christ.

I need my Tinkerbell

I don't know if it is a real medical condition, but I've heard of it from watching tv and movies.  Maybe it was Cheers, Diane could have labeled Sam as suffering from the "Peter Pan Complex"...
