About Me

Not much to me I don't guess - I'm pretty active and energetic, but I do enjoy my sleep. I'm up for all kinds of games including PC, cards, sports, and more. I'm very competitive but know when to give it a rest. However, I am very relentless. Not very religious even though I was raised in a Christian home, school, and church. Can be very picky yet easy going. Basically, I'm whatever the moment calls for.

My Interests

Gee, lots of stuff - Basketball, Golf, Baseball, Martial Arts, Chess, Computers, Business, Philosophy, Reading, Writing, and more

I'd like to meet:

Oh I dunno, not especially dying to meet anyone. Maybe President Bush or Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan. Now deceased...there are a lot of peeps with which I'd like to converse...

Music:

Gee, lots of music in no particular order - Nirvana, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Korn, Godsmack, Disturbed, Chevelle, No Doubt, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Manson, Natalie Merchant, Norah Jones, Pantera, Tori Amos, Tom Petty, Blues Travelers, some Elvis, some Linkin Park, Nikka Costa, Weezer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, White Zombie, Van Halen, Bloodhound Gang, Gorillaz, Dir en Grey, Gwen Stefani, Aerosmith, and much more

The TV is always on in the background - The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, American Dad, Who's Line Is It Anyway, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Bill O'Reilly, Spongebob Squarepants, Seinfeld, I reluctantly like Everybody Loves Raymond, and much more

Books:

This list is limited because I work under the impression that there are very few well-written books out there - Philosophers Explore The Matrix, After Virtue, Consequences of Pragmatism, A World In Flames, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege: 1942-1943, The Fall of Berlin 1945, Band of Brothers, Tao of Jeet Kune Do, Jeet Kune Do, The Tao of Gung Fu, The Art of Expressing the Human Body, and a few others

Heroes:

I guess the typical cheesy answers - My Father, Bruce Lee, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and anyone who plays as the underdog

UK Basketball & Billy Gillispie

There are a lot of people out there who are hitting Gillispie pretty hard.  There is no reason for this.  Yes, he is not doing so well, but he has to undo the mess of the past 10 years. ...

Par Four Eagle

150 yards out, 7 iron, par four, and into the hole; that's exactly how I earned my first eagle. I never thought I would ever dunk one from the fairway in my life, but apparently I'm not as bad a golfe...

Should I play golf only when I'm worn out?

On Monday and well rested, I played 36 holes of not-so-good golf. Later that night I went out with a friend, getting only 4 hours of sleep. On Tuesday I went to the dentist and spent 2 hours there. Af...
