About Me

.. I'm from NJ from the NYC area. This photo was taken just about a mile from where I grew up...on the Palisades...that's the George Washington Bridge and NYC in the background. I'm pretty settled here in San Diego now which makes me the only Navy veteran to ever move to San Diego after leaving the service. Living in Hawaii made me a a cold weather pansy, but since there is no Target or Nordstrom there, it was time to move on. I have a lifelong obsession going on with the Peanuts characters.I am addicted to Pepperidge Farm Goldfish (Original flavor). I buy 2 bags at a time and hide one from myself, so when I find them it's a fun surprise and I reward myself by eating the entire bag. Either that or one bag never even makes it out of the car.I own the world's worst guard dog.

My Interests

I'm interested in languages. I speak Russian and French so far. I understand Italian, but I just can't seem to spit it back out. I like to read pretty much anything that will hold my attention for more than 30 seconds. Love working out, love eating, love cooking almost as much as I love eating. I'm all about getting my nails done now that I have them. I've got some invisaligners in my mouth that prevent me from biting them.

I'd like to meet:

more people like me...duh.

Music:

If it's a semi-fruity electronic 80's band with guys wearing makeup, I probably love it, but I am not limited to just that.I'm a big fan of my brother's music videos. Check out his work here:
The Black Dahlia Murder "What A Horrible Night..." from Robbie Tassaro on Vimeo .

Movies:

The Big Lebowski, Old School, Amelie Love Stinks, Orgazmo, The Wedding Singer Bend it Like Beckham, Mean Girls, Life is Beautiful Blues Brothers, Chicago, Empire of the Sun, French Kiss, Chocolat, Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Zoolander Austin Powers, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, History of the World Part I, Dogma, Anchorman Trainspotting, and I admit, I watch the Star Wars movies every time they're on (except for Episode I)

Television:

Almost anything on Food Network, Bizarre Foods, No Reservations, Family Guy, Simpsons, some Adult Swim stuff, Judge Judy (its hilarious when people show up drunk or high on court shows), Forensic Files (always great right before bed)

Books:

Right now I'm reading The Food You Crave by Ellie Krieger. I love cookbooks, but I'll be honest...I'll read whatever is lying around. Books, magazines, blogs, cereal boxes,shampoo bottles...nothing is safe

Heroes:

Grandpa...he's been gone for 25 years and people still talk about what a fun, good looking guy he was.

How I got locked out of the car by my dog

It's probably better off for humanity as a whole that I am not and may never be a parent to any human being. Yesterday's weather was nice. A typical 70 and sunny ...

South Beach Diet

They don't call it getting old for nothing. I'm fairly thin, except for the significant T&A (and some thigh, since we're being honest) and I've always been active. Like it...

Damn You, Lunch Lady!

OK Lunch lady, I have accepted that no matter what I order, you will screw it up in some way. If I order a cheeseburger with grilled onions, I will get a hamburger with raw onions. I can handle that. ...
