Do you stand for what you believe in? Do you find the strength to do what's right? That's TURTLE POW

About Me

A little about me...hmmm..OK the basics, I live in Burbank, IL, in a tiny apartment with my little fuzzball of a dog Cubby and my adopted goldfish, Artard. I am tall and that means I can look down at a lot of people.um.... I have a beautiful girlfriend named Amber who is really fantastical. I have recently come to the realization that growing a beard is pretty hard...um.. I am a die hard Cub fan who really really wants a World Series win before I die. I love to watch and play any and all sports....especially baseball, football, and basketball. I have been getting into lacrosse recently, and I would love to play and get my ass kicked in it. I like playing frisbee golf (it's a Texas thing that has recently made its way up here). I still collect comic books and I read like a maniac stuck in prison, so yeah. Let's see what else? Random things about me = I like rainy days, Superman, Bed Bath and Beyond, Photoshop, Flintstone Push-Ups (Thanks Jackie!), Frank Sinatra, funny people, MSNBC, Adidas pants, massages, Texas Hold-em, 200mg Advil gelcaps, flip flops, my toothbrush that pulsates and cleans the hell out of my teeth, chewing on straws, glucosamine chondroitin (if you know what this is, then welcome to the club), I have an unhealthy obsession with Jennifer Love Hewitt, and I like animals dressed as people but hate people dressed like animals...I hate clowns, stupid people, humidity, those stupid Glade candles that last two minutes, 40 watt lightbulbs, hospitals, helium balloons on windy days, moldy bread, mixing food, tags on tshirts, the creepy Burger King guy, people that think we went to Iraq because of oil, people that think 9/11 was a government conspiracy, metrosexuals, thinking you are using Vis-a-Vis pens when you are actually using permanent marker, White Sox fans that refer to their team as "The Sox" (there is only one team that can use that and their socks are red), stupid drive-thru employees that only give you one barbeque sauce and make you pay 23 cents for an extra one, insomnia, pit bulls that live next door to you, and people who use Fergalicious as their cell phone ring tone. There is tons more to learn from me..for I have been literally around the world and back, and I have ancient wisdom from people that have lived in Nebraska.--.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet people that have a story. I find it intriguing to hear about other people's lives and experiences. Especially older people that lived through some of the world's greatest accomplishments. As far as the age old question, "If you could have dinner with 8 people, past or present, who would they be, my answer is : Frank Sinatra, John Stewart, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Barack Obama, Mitch Hedberg, Stan "The Man" Lee, Hugh Hefner, and of course I would have also loved to meet Chris Farley and drink a beer with him.The Haunted Hop Guy

Too many to list. I read anything and everything that is interesting and well written.
