60% of the time, it works everytime....

About Me

Well, i was born in the greatest state in the union, TEXAS! I moved to Kentucky midway through grade school, and have lived here ever since, although my heart is still in the Lone Star State. I'm a very laid back person who hates drama, jealousy, stupidity (not to be confused with dumbness, which i get in trouble for ALOT!), extreme Democrats and Republicans alike (i'm a registered Republican, but i've voted against my party on several occassions) and i hate people who can't just live their own lives without making everyone else's a miserable as their own! I do however love my family, my closest friends, socializing and meeting new people, talking politics (thats in a civil manner, no yelling!), watching and playing football with my boys, dropping forty bucks a time on MegaTouch with my friends (they don't call it bar crack for nothing!), a nice glass of scotch, and any kind of sports. I'm always up for making new friends, and be aware that i have a smart-ass attitude, but i'm also VERY protective of my friends (especially my girls!) That's about it!Contact Box Generated from Layout Flux

My Interests

Interests? Uh....University of Texas football, basketball and baseball. Pro teams are as such: NFL - Green Bay Packers; NBA - Cleveland Cavaliers; MLB - Los Angeles Dodgers (sorry Roni, hockey sucks!). Oh, something other than sports? Well, wrestling... wait, that is a sport (you try and do what they do, slapnuts!). I love to listen to music, primarily country, and i love Friends (the show....my friends suck). I love politics, and try to stay on top of things so that i can actually have intelligent conversations with my friends.Here's a little video of me i made for a dating service. Maybe you like and we can make happy talk!

I'd like to meet:

Jennifer Aniston. It is a requirement of my life that i meet her so that i can spit my broke game at her and have her laugh at my futile attempts to win her over. I'm a big fan of wrestling, so I'd love nothing more than to meet my favorite wrestler, The Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels. I'd also like to meet current WWE Women's Champion, Mickie James, who i'm in LOVE with! (She closely rivals J. Aniston for my top spot!) Rounding out the people i'd like to meet will be Brett Favre, Lebron James, Vince Young, Phil Helmuth, Jennifer Harman, Orel Hershiser, Jenna Jameson, George W. Bush, Rachel Ray, Alton Brown, Mack Brown, Matt Hardy, and hopefully the future Mrs. Sam French, whoever that may be... And now.....the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! YOUR TEXAS LONGHORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Music:

Country music. Primarily Toby Keith. But i also love Brotha Lynch Hung, Nelly, Dayton Family...oh wait, that's rap. Yeah, i like that too. Jewel is my favorite artist of all time, while Fleetwood Mac is my favorite group. I'm very open musically, and enjoy music far more than any other form of entertainment. Right now in my rotation is Rascall Flatts, Disturbed, Justin Timberlake (i heard he's bringing sexy back, or something), and Charity Daw (check out my friends to hear some about her.)

Movies:

The Program. Hands down... Also, i love Pulp Fiction, Waiting, Fight Club, Gettysburg, Office Space, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, American History X, and Anchorman (I....I wanna be on you...). I have weird taste....

Television:

Friends! I plan on a marathon event of watching Friends seasons 1-10, all in one sitting with my friend Elaina. That would rule all. Also, i never miss American Idol, and watching WWE every Monday and Friday night is a tradition. I also have a long strung, built up obsession with Dragonball Z. It is the greatest Anime of all time! And, where would i be without Family Guy. That show has taught me so much about life. Rounding out my favorites are, of course, anything sports, poker, FOX News, PTI, Around the Horn, and the History Channel. And, for your viewing pleasure, a romantic video of the romance that is Ross and Rachel...

Books:

What is this "books" you speak of?

Heroes:

Mack Brown, head coach of the University of Texas football team. Brett Favre, God of Green Bay Packer football. King James of the Cavs. John Travolta (nothing better in movies then the dance scene with him and Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction!) Oh yeah, and Matt Hardy. I have Mattitude.... And i don't care if he's just an Anime, Vegeta is the greatest charactor in all of television ever.
