Risking all I have, for all I'll ever need.

About Me

I figured it was about time I redid my profile, so let’s see how this ends up. My name is Dan, I’m 29 and I live on Long Island, amazingly I enjoy it, too. I used to live in California (I did the whole move to LA for a girl and school thing ...), but it seems like both my love life and education weren’t meant for the west coast. Being I am such a quick learner, I recently attempted another romantic adventure in the United Kingdom, but found fish & chips to be rather unhealthy – such a deal breaker. I bite my fingernails, I curse like a sailor and I drive like an asshole. I work way too much, and I think I sold my soul to the New York Stock Exchange devil for a car and a few suits. When I’m not @ the office I enjoy blasting offensive & repetitive digital music, getting double looks from strangers, hitting the gym more than any respectable individual ever should, driving around with the top down when it’s 30 degrees outside (yes, I’m THAT guy) smiling a lot more then I should, and drawing a lot of offensive criticism from my closest of friends. I have absolutely zero common sense, I do things the hard way out of boredom, I laugh at my own jokes way too much and I've been told I’m quite possibly the loudest snorer of all time. I’ve noticed most of my friends are much cooler then I am, I shake my ass when I listen to music, and most people would consider me to be quite the rare commodity. I'd also like to mention, for some silly reason ... I seem to have a real knack for blowing up S2000 engines. I think that about sums it up, thanks!
