About Me

Hmmm... Hard to sum it all up in one nice little package but I'll give it a shot. Most of my time, attention, and love are spent on my awesome daughter, my sweetie, my good pals, work, and my pets (Bailey the Boxer, Midnight the cat, and Louie the parrot). Life can get a little hectic at times and I have to admit I look forward to those weekend days when there is nothing on the calendar. The days seem to fly by, I am happy :~)
I'll pick a concert over a club any day, sleeping in over catching the worm, reading a good book over tv, peace over drama, a toke over a bump, wine over beer, staying home over going out, and mac over pc (i just had to put that out there lol). I could go on for a while here but I think you get a general idea :)
I wish everyone would do what they could, large or small, to make this world just a little bit better. It would be great to do more but right now I volunteer in the community through my employers charitable foundation, I am on the Grant Review Committee, and I donate monthly.

My Interests

My general interests, let's see here...

I would have to say my favorite thing to do socially is go to shows. As it turns out, Orlando isn't so bad as far as a music scene goes. I love the small venues here and I like a lot of "indie" bands so it kinda works out for me :)

You can occasionally see me out in a bar with friends but I'm always happiest when there is live music.

I have discovered that I really don't like arena football, but I love basketball games. Go Turkoglu! I like tennis and even though I'm not the best it's still a lot of fun to play. It sounds boring but it's really not!

I like Target better than Walmart, and love to get pedicures.

Shopping on eBay is fun, like modern hunting for girls.

I am definitely a computer geek. I work in software development during the day and spend a lot of my free time tinkering on a computer, doing any number of things.

I'd like to get back to learning the guitar but I think we need to get a bigger house first :)

I like to travel, except the flying part. I think San Fransisco will be the next just for fun trip, then Costa Rica.

I'm really NOT interested in doing anything that involves me and extreme heights. If I am going to end up dangling over a gorge, I'm probably not going to come. However, I have gone sky diving. It was an incredible experience but I have a feeling I never would have jumped (I didn't even like the plane ride up) if I hadn't been strapped to a guy that was jumping whether I still wanted to or not LOL

Yep, that's right.

I'd like to meet:

People I love :)

Me and Scott. Always having fun :)

Music:

Wow, where to begin? I have a huge music collection and could probably go on about it all night but here are some of the bands on my current playlists: Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Tom Freund, The Slackers (yeah!), Slightly Stoopid, Drive-By Truckers, Marah, Lucero, Gomez, Elliot Smith, Keller Williams, Teddy Thompson, Catch 22, Less Than Jake, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Shins, Spoon, Calla, G Love, Eels, Steel Pulse, Sublime, 311, Blue Merle, Teitur, Led Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Bob Marley, Broken Social Scene, The Hold Steady, Ben Folds, Gonzalez, Swearing At Motorists, M Ward, The Arcade Fire, Reel Big Fish, The Clash, Easy Star All-Stars, The Cramps, Jimmy Cliff, Neil Young, The Planet Smashers, The Police, The Spam Allstars... I really could talk about music all night...

Movies:

Long ago, in a galaxy far away, I didn't watch a lot of movies but ever since I met my most wonderful sweetie Scott I seem to have watched A LOT! Most notably, I think I have seen Star Wars (any of the 6) at least a hundred times LOL

Television:

I don't control the remote... ;)
However, I do love these shows:
'How I Met Your Mother'
and 'Hell's Kitchen'

Books:

I love to read but I haven't been doing much 'serious' reading these days. Besides some techie stuff, that I am sure none of you want to hear about, all I've been reading is sci-fi novels. Bring on the dragons and elves!

Heroes:
