About Me

I dig my job, I have great friends, and life is good. Knowing my attention span, though, I'm sure I'll have to mix it up somehow in the near future.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with the passion and drive to get out there and make something happen.

Television:

I'm all about comedy and edgy programming....Family Guy, South Park, Drawn Together, Nip/Tuck, etc...

Books:

The '48 Laws of Power' by Robert Greene is incredible. It will change your life.

Heroes:

Anyone doing what they want to do.....what they enjoy. Life is too short. You have to enjoy it.

My Blog

Enjoy Your Stay

Have you ever...in your life....seen the maids in any hotel you've staid in swap out the comforter/bed cover on a bed? Me neither.

The Ever-Mysterious Nielson

Over the years, I've lived in different parts of the country and I've been fortunate enough to meet thousands of wildly unique people. Seemingly, though, there has been one glaring 'constant,' so to s...

Job Well Done

Given that people spend upwards of 8 to 12 hours every day doing their jobs.....year after year after year......I tend to find it bizarre when people are surprised to meet someone who is good at his/h...

Ruminations of the week

1) When traveling on an airplane, the two sensations that always kick in immediately for me are exhaustion and hunger. So, I tend to fall asleep until inevitably one of the stewardesses runs over my f...

Miscellaneous Thoughts

1) I watched an entire news broadcast this evening and they didn't mention Paris Hilton even once. It was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Kudos to NBC!2) As I bounced around Manhatta...
