About Me

My life is not terribly exciting....most important to me is my family...a close second are my friends...the longer they're my friends, the closer to family they become (they're family included; especially if we keep in touch often). After that coffee, music, and sports vie for my attention. I am educating myself at the fine institution that is UP in hopes of becoming a pharmacist....until then, I'm doing research for one of the best professors in the northwest (opinion) and work for the computer department on campus (OCIO). I am thoroughly enjoy music, though I don't play the sax much anymore. I spend most of my time listening to rock and jazz, though I can be convinced to listen to other music so long as it is not rap or country (complete crap).
I've started running again...from what I don't know yet. But its helping me get back into shape and gives me something to do after work. I've also returned to the gym, so presumeably I'm getting stronger. I'm trying to find new things to occupy my time so as to distract me from the fact that I am BORED!!
Well, I can't think of much else to say....feel free to ask if you're curious about anything.
