Who really knows what's the truth?

About Me

I don't have many fears in life - life is to short to fear it. I am what some would call obsessive compulsive. It's not with everything - just most things. I like to have control and order. I'm hard on myself in most aspects of life and I hate losing. I am one of the most competitive people you will meet. I can hold my own in most sports, games, and random skills. I hardly ever turn down a challenge. I place value in trust, honesty, integrity, loyalty, compassion, self-motivation, selflessness, and faith. These are qualities I strive to possess and look for in others. I love my family, Stewey my dog, the smell of the air on fall mornings and the night of football games, the feel of meeting my goals - however big or small they may be, baseball pants, black coffee, and the chance to look at the stars on a clear night. I refuse to surround myself with anyone that lacks common sense, aspirations, or faith...

My Interests

Anything outdoors, dogs, most sports, seeing new bands, going to different bars, meeting new people, and cheering on my Black and Gold!

I'd like to meet:

Old friends and new friends. And all the male building designers that think putting only two women's bathroom stalls in a bar is a good idea. You are on my list.

..

Music:

Disturbed, Sevendust, Saliva, Metallica, Helmet, Biohazard, Drowning Pool, Pantara, Staind, System Of A Down and Rage. I listen to most everything from rock, r&b, and the like. I have a knack for knowing all the words to songs but can rarely remember the title and/or artist.

Movies:

Napoleon Dynamite, Clerks - (I have a pic of myself in front of that store in NJ), Office Space, Old School, Elf, Anchorman, and Swingers still make me laugh no matter how many times I watch them. Old movies that I watched a zillion times like Princess Bride, A Bronx Tale, Legend, and Tombstone. The Godfather I,II,III - although the first one was the best, Snatch, Casino, The Last Don, Usual Suspects, Narc, Fight Club, Seven, Dogma, Bourne Identity/Supremacy, Flatliners, Gladiator, The Patriot, and too many other to name.

Television:

Family Guy of course. (I named my dog Stewey.) CSI - Vegas and Miami mostly. Terrible shows like Top Model and The Hills are some of my secret favorites. I also watch the History, Discovery and Military Channels just to round out my dork-ness. (Yeah, it's a word)

Books:

The last book I read was Oryx and Crake. I loved it. The Five People You Meet In Heaven and anything Dan Brown. Before that I was reading $150 Biology books that some how depreciate in value over a semester to $25 when you sell it back. Then, through the magic of shrinkwrap and a sticker, it's somehow worth $130 on the "used books" shelf the next semester. And they wonder why more people are buying books online - go figure!

Heroes:

Jocelyn my coworker for her supreme sense of "style" that she graces us with five days a week. Matt for putting up with me and Stu everyday - especially after Stewey ate a pen and got ink all over his chair and carpet - sorry sweetheart! And lastly, Josh for making something of himself, finding love right in front of him and going after everything he desired - even if it did take him to AZ - miss you more than you know!
