About Me


After reading over my "About Me" section that has been on here for months, I decided that I self-disclose too much! If you already know me, you know how lucky you are. And if you haven't had the pleasure of getting to know me yet, you will soon find out. That sounded cocky, didn't it? Oh well!

"In order to live my ideal life... non-evasion and pro-confrontation... ORIGINALITY as far as conducting the total awareness life in which you plug into "now" and constantly push ahead, constantly develop and grow. The thing is that I want it all next week, right now, this millisecond...life should sparkle and rush, burn with fire hot like melting steel, like freeze-burn from a comet." ~Jeff Buckley~

My Interests

Music, cars, sports, movies, travel, TV, volunteering, reading, writing, shooting pool, darts, beer, concerts, etc etc etc..."Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored." ~Abraham Lincoln~

Tally Hall - Break It Down

by Joe Hawley
MARK RONSON - JUST (Radiohead cover)

I'd like to meet:

Christopher Walken, Jeff Buckley, River Phoenix, Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, Brad Nowell, Martin Luther King, JFK, Kurt Vonnegut, Robin Williams, Stephen Lynch. I got to take Lucky Boys Confusion off the list after my birthday weekend :)

I shared a little too much personal info in this section as well. I need to learn to be an iceberg, only showing 10% of myself when I meet people. I'm going to go and practice being an iceberg, so talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic: Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island. DISCUSS!
