Well, I just started taking classes again trough CSUF-Online so the little bit of free time I had is now pretty much gone. I work at Eastbay in the Fraud Department fighting crime and shit, and at I.S.I. where we work with realtors in the area putting houses online for virtual tours, etc. In addition to that I do a bit of sports photography and website building on the side so I stay pretty busy. My favorite thing in the world to do is play baseball. I'm playing this summer for a new team in Green Bay called the Bruins, we have a 20 game season with a couple tournaments mixed in. I'm also playing in four differnet softball leagues for Boston's, Coaches Corner, The Bar (Appleton), and Hooters. Aside from that, when I do have extra time I love just hanging out with my family and friends, I've got some of the best of both and am always up for just firing up the grill and having a good time.
2Pac, Kanye West and Jim "Soup" Cambell. Those are my three favorite musicians. Not necessarily in that order. I like a wide variety of music. Some of my other favorites are: Anthony Hamilton, Run DMC, Public Enemy, NWA, Alicia Keys, Foo Fighters, Fort Minor, Jay-Z, John Legend, James Taylor, Method Man, TI, Tim McGraw, Chamillionaire, DMX, Beastie Boys, Young Jeezy, Weezer, Jom Jones, Toby Keith, Scarface, Pearl Jam, Snoop, Ice Cube, Rage, Jaheim and many more. Oh and can't forget CooCoo Cal and Dimebag (Some of Milwaukee's finest)
Wedding Crashers, Old School, Dumb and Dumber, 40 Year Old Virgin, Office Space, Anchorman, Dolemite, Juice, Crash, The Lion King, Shaft, The Rookie, Friday, Bull Durham, Major League, Team America, Talladega Nights.....I'm sure there are many other good ones I'm forgetting. And I already know that "Blades of Glory" is gonna be f-ing hillarious!!

Ever been involved in a bench clearer? A couple, I'm always the pussy breaking things up
How many days a week do you play? Right now, none, but once April rolls around; At least 5 sometimes 7
Do you chew tobacco, seeds, or gum? Either seeds or gum. My favorite though is Laffy Taffy. I always have a couple sticks of that in my back pocket.
What does the term "in the hole" mean to you? Either you're up third, behind the guy on-deck, or a shortstop going deep behind third to his backhand (Unless you are Joe Zuleger and think a lefty can play short.
Ever been hit by a pitch? Who hasn't. It's part of the game, deal with it.
Ever hit an inside the park homer? Yeah, I've got a couple legit ones, not the Little League 3 error type
Do you bat right, left, or switch? Right, I'm okay left handed, but not good enough to do it in games on a regular basis. I wish I were a little better because it's nice to have that extra step or two to first base.
Shades, flip-downs, or eye black? Never liked the flip downs or sunglasses for that matter. I've been wering the Nike contacts for the past year and I really like those.
