About Me

Shy until I know someone; then you have to tell me to shut up. (Either that or take my beer.)Bonum certamen certavi, cursum consumavi, Fidem servavi

My Interests

Reminiscing with friends, music--especially live, bonfires, bars, parties, shooting sports, weightlifting, horseback riding, poker, euchre, travel, Ohio State football, lacrosse, movies, the beach, nice chill drives with my windows down and moon roof open with my stereo pounding, ANYTHING that gets my adrenaline flowing (Yeah I have ADD), etc....

I'd like to meet:

"In the end, my friends, we will all be together again." But until then, good people.

Music:

A little bit of everything. Call me schizophrenic.

Movies:

Last of the Mohicans, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, most of the Adam Sandler and Chris Farley movies, A time to Kill, a lot of action movies and pretty much anything that will make me laugh or think deeply.

Television:

Most of the time I'm watching TLC, the History channel, or Discovery Channel. Don't get me wrong though, I love to laugh...

Books:

Treason, Free to Choose, Driven to Distraction, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Dont sweat the small stuff; Its all small stuff, and anything that can keep my ADD mind focused. My friend sent me "I believe in Love," which I've been working on for a Loooooong time--I highly suggest it to anyone seeking some peace. I'd read more if I didn't have to stop every few pages and make sure I wasn't thinking of something else...

Heroes:

Anyone who is truly content.

My second nephew was born yesterday.  It is an awesome feeling to see a baby on his first day.  In all actuality I spent more time traveling to and from Miramar than I did with Amy and the b...

One of the few good friends I've met since I moved to Miami died last last.  It is the second time that I was supposed to meet up with someone and... Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord, and let...

thought I'd blog it up...

A lot's changed since I moved to Miami; I still miss my friends and family, but I proved to myself that when I needed to, I could let go.  I don't think anyone believed I'd be here this long.&nbs...

for those in the cold...

We are finally getting a cold front that actually might be cold--and to headline the story a picture of Columbus was on the front page of the Miami Herald.  It showed a foot of snow or so.&n...
