Quizzes by myYearbook.com -- the World's Biggest Yearbook! Heh. Kind of funny how that worked out. I'd almost prefer to be a werewolf, so i could have an excuse to pooh in the yard and eat people, but there is something to be said for hacking them into tiny bits while wearing a hockey mask. I'm kidding, of course. ;)

My Interests

Hitting the beach at Kiawah Island. Meeting new people. Watching and playing sports. I play Softball and golf. I watch baseball and football, and know more than I should about either. I like to hang out with friends. Remember...

Sorry, this was too funny to pass on. Note the hat Baby!

Quizzes by myYearbook.com -- the World's Biggest Yearbook!

The following picture's mean a lot to me considering the collective sources that worked on them. My mother took the photos and a very dear person to me added the words...

I love my Yankees, Panthers, and Gamecocks. The following is a clip of the greatest entrance in college football. Ignore the year, the coach, and the opponent. Just watch and listen as the music plays and the intesity builds. Then tell me you didn't get goosebumps.

Get this video and more at MySpace.com

I'd like to meet:


I'd like to meet Derek Jeter, Joe Torre, and the rest of the current and living Yankees. I'd like to discuss Barry "Bubblehead" Bonds with the greatest player of all time, the "Bambino", and see if he even cares about that cheat. Ron "Tater Salad" White. Thats one funny guy, no matter who you are. I would very much like to meet Carolina Panther great, Sam Mills, who died just last year. Sam's perserverance against his illness, against his critics, and in all facets of his life was a great inspiration to me as a teen, and remains so today. I want to meet Jesus and thank him, I just hope I qualify when the time comes.

Music:

Mostly metal, rock, and country here, but depending on my mood, I'll listen to just about anything. Favourites include; Staind, Chevelle, Flyleaf, Nickleback, Garth Brooks, Big 'N Rich, Toby Keith, Jimmy Buffet, Gorillaz, and Evanescence. I listen to Rock 93.5 in the truck.

Movies:

All cult favorites on this one. I love such movies as Boondock Saints, Fight Club, Snatch, Super Troopers, Club Dread, Death to Smoochey, Buying the Cow, Shaun of the Dead, the Underworld flics, and anything with Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees in it.

Television:

I was fortunate enough to be watching when Melky robbed Manny. If you were not than here it it. The play that defined a season.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com
Manny got OWNED!
I'll watch a lot of baseball and football, and the odd episode of 24 or Smallville(I got a thing for Erica Durance). To me, 530 channels don't really offer much to watch. Besides, it's hard to get me to sit still for that long.
CLEMSUX JOKES!
Q: Why did they cancel the Christmas play at Clemson last year?
A: They couldn't find 3 wise men or a virgin.
Q: What does a tornado and a Clemson cheerleader have in common?
A: They both just end up in trailor parks.
Q: How do you know you're in a Clemson bar?
A: If you call the number on the bathroom wall you get the farm report.
Q: How do you keep the Tigers out of the endzone?
A: Put it in a library.
Q: What is the most common STD at Clemson?
A: Rabies

Books:

I like biographies, Robert Jordan, R. A. Salvatore, and various other things.

Heroes:

My parents, for their love. My grandfather, for his example and his heart. And the incomparable Sam Mills, who was a warrior in the game of football, in his battle with cancer, and in his entire life. Sam showed us that enough heart can overcome almost anything.
And "Danger Boy" Dunn. Anybody who steals Britteny Spears' panties or get shot at for delivering a box of shit, all while wearing a Superman costume, deserves to make the list.

That's right boys and girls, there's only one of me! The origional!
