I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

It's time once again to update this profile thingy. I AM NO LONGER WORKING IN RADIO OR WITH CBS. When I have a little bit more time, I am going to post a very candid and honest blog on what has happened since December of 08, and my own issues with CBS management. Believe me, it will be a good, and interesting read. It's going to be a long blog, and it will be a good read.Dallas Fort Worth has been my home for most of all my life. I own my own house, 6 cars, and have many wonderful friends outside of the online world. Looking at everything I can say I am truely blessed spiritually, if not financially. I'm not a "newbie" anymore to this myspace thing....however, I still consider myself a novice. I'm still on the look out for interesting people and to make some new friends along the way.I've been a member of the National Council of Corvette Clubs since 2005, but been going to events and racing cars for a long time. It's a hobby of mine, but an expensive one. A hobby I hope to invest more time in the more successful I get. It's a blast, and I only wish I could do it more often. (NOTE...did FINALLY get a running and driving corvette. Ol Blue is a 74 L82 Coupe)Family is very important to me, especially now that it is not very big. There have been receient events where even tho all the members of my family are still alive, most of us don't speak anymore. It's unfortunate, and very sad. My mother and I are very much alone against the world, and it's always been me and her since my Dad passed away. I do still have an older brother, who I love very much, and believe in...for those of you who know what I am talking about, you will get that last statement...for those of you who don't...just understand, I do BELIEVE in him. And I am Godfather to 5 other wonderful kids (my best friend's children)...I will never have any of my own kids. EVER!AND, I am not a Sagittarius. I was born on the cusp, and I am proud to say I am a SCORPIO damn it! Nothing against you Sagittarius people.If you like to read, check out my blogs, if you like radio and podcasts, check out some recordings of The Pub a couple of friends of mine and I have done on this page. Since I am no longer at CBS, we can't record anymore, BUT I am trying to get my own studio stuff together slowly and hopefully we can get something new out there very soon!! 05 Vette(2) myspace layout

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Hmmm...can't really say I would love to meet any real celeberty. I've pretty much met and shook hands with anyone I really ever have wanted to meet. Hanging out with my brother, and working in the radio business, I have met some pretty famous people. Just because someone is famous, or rich beyond belief...never really has impressed me all that much...big deal...they are just people, like you and me. I'm more interested in meeting real people, down to earth folks. Which there are a few rich and famous people who are just as down to earth as they can be (yes, I have met a few of them...I know they exist). But for the most part, money makes most people nuts...I've had a lifetime of crazy people."No matter what your decisions were in life, if you were famous, rich, poor, or unknown....you still have to stand, naked and humble before your maker on your day of judgement".
