About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
I'm like a cookie...Mixed in equal parts, dreamer and realist, added with a pinch of optimism, pessimism and drive, frosted in sarcasm, but with innocence sprinkled on top.
I struggle with my place on this planet and wonder what my "larger picture" is all about. I'm a college student, a democrat, a photographer, a music lover, a movie buff and a hardcore hockey fan. I am the sum of my parts, and yet so much more. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like games...I am who I am. If you don't like it, that's just too damn bad for you.
I'm the greatest friend you may never meet.
You Are 95% Floridian

You're definetly from Florida. You love the nice Florida sun, 85 degree weather, and you always know where the best parties are at. You probably love it in Florida and don't want to leave anytime soon. You know what's up.

I'm occasionally the team photographer for the Naples Hammerheads Mens Rugby Club, and I've really taken a liking to the sport. People who like to play tennis. I'm a sports and portrait photographer by occupation, so if you dig photography, I'm always down for some shop talk. I
P.S. If you're going to add me to your friends list...please send me at least a little note introducing yourself. Thanks :-)

Also, I'm not looking to "hook-up" with anyone. So if you're just looking for some kind of internet booty call, look somewhere else.

And, if you're under 21 and/or you're not someone I know personally and have a private profile, sorry, but I'm not interested in being friended by you.

Oh yeah....and this guy!

Television:

Who has the time to watch tv these days? I've maxed out the memory on my Tivo with things I still haven't watched! However, I do like CSI and all it's spawn - I catch the reruns late at night when I can't sleep.

Books:

I have a voracious appetite for books...my house is like a library. Anything by Ira Levin, Kurt Vonagut, Geroge Orwell, Joyce Carol Oates, Incarnations of Imortality, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Where The Heart Is, White Oleander, Rose Madder, One on One, Zombie, Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil, A Modest Proposal (Essay), Anything having to do with the history of film, Filmmaking, Photography, Darkroom techniques, Hockey and just about anything else that looks interesting.

Heroes:

Definately my mom...she raised me on her own and I think she did a pretty decent job of it. Anyone out there who's had a dream and didn't let go of it. You...and probably your mom too.

Waiting for my Real Life to Begin

I find myself here, at the computer. Listening to, for the first time in a long time, Colin Hay. Amazingly, the song doesn't sadden me as it used to. I hear the possibility instead of the loss. I feel...
