About Me

I love sports. I love writing. I love Laura. Beer over wine. Beer over liquor. Game 3 of the ALDS changed my life (yes, I was there). Oakland A's, San Francisco 49ers, Golden State Warriors. Not always in that order. Any book that makes me think. Any music that makes me happy. Any TV that doesn't put me to sleep. My family comes first. Dr. Pepper is the nectar of the gods. Soccer when my knee wasn't hurt. Bocce now that it is. Fantasy football is an addiction. Gambling is a hobby. Penguins are cool. Winter over summer. Transformers are more than meets the eye. Writing is harder than most people think. I'm fun. I don't tolerate stupidity. Any other questions, feel free to ask.

You Are Beer!
You don't need to get totally wasted when you hit the bars. More of a social drinker, you just like to have fun with your friends. And as long as the beer keeps flowing, you're a happy camper. But don't mix things up: "Beer Before Liquor, Never Been Sicker!" What alcoholic drink are you?
You Are From Saturn
You're steady, organizes, and determined to achieve your dreams. You tend to play it conservative, going by the rules (at least the practical ones). You'll likely reach the top. And when you do, you'll be honorable and responsible. Focus on happiness. Don't let your goals distract you from fun! Don't be too set in your ways, and you'll be more of a success than you ever dreamed of. What Planet Are You From?

My Interests

Writing, Sports, Gambling (on sports), Poker, TKE, my brothers (the biological ones, they ROCK!!!), and my buddies.

I'd like to meet:

-Bill Simmons. I'd turn into a giggling little girl.-Chuck Klosterman. All we need are sex, drugs, and cocoa puffs.-George RR Martin. Explaining this one will label me, so no.-Jessica Simpson. To kick her in the head.-Billy Beane. Genius. Every A's fan knows that.-Tim Buckley. The genius behind CAD.

Music:

Wow, too many to name here. Right now it's The Fratellis (see video below), Jack's Mannequin. Old 97's, Arctic Monkeys, Mad Caddies, Jupiter Sunrise, and many more. For the most part it's a safe assumption that I'm listening to Ska, Punk, or Emo. Also, since I play the trumpet I listen to a lot of other people doing the same thing.

Movies:

Again, too many to name. My favorite movie is Grosse Point Blank.

Television:

House, Nip/Tuck, Battlestar Galactica (yeah, I'm a nerd, bring it!) anything on Food Network or ESPN, and, of course, The Transformers (come on, they're more than meets the eye)

Books:

This would take waaaaaaay too long...so just know that I like to read. A LOT!!! I'm an english major, dammnit.

Heroes:

My dad, my grandpas, and anyone else who's positively affected my life.
