I am here for Friends

About Me

My name's Phil.. if you haven't noticed. I live in the Chicagoland area and love it here.. except for maybe the winters here. They definately are something you have to get used to. And even then you find yourself saying "Damn it's cold". I would probably consider living somewhere else, but love being near my family. :)
I've been with my fiancee Leah for nearly five years. We've been through good and bad times, more good than bad. And whenever it's bad, we get through it together. Our lives revolve around eachother, giving everything we've got into this relationship. Because I've learned over the past couple years that it takes more than just saying you love someone to make a relationship work. You have to show them everyday. You have to give them every bit of you. No holding back. Love that isn't complete, isn't love. I love you Leah, and I can't wait for our dreams to start coming true.. all the things that we hope for in life. I wan't to make all that happen for us. I want to love you for the rest of your life.
I drive semi-trucks at Conway Central Express in Melrose Park, making nearly 20 dollars an hour. Pretty good pay. I could have done more with my life, but my hatred of school made things hard for me. I think I have a problem with a authority. That's why this job suits me well.. I'm on my own all day and only have to check in every so often.
Other than that I think I'm a pretty likeable guy. I care for people and will go out of my way for you if I truly care about you or think you're a good person. I have a hard time accepting the recipriation of that. I grew up playing every sport there was when I was a kid, and it continued as I grew up. Even now I'd be the first person to say yes to a basketball game, baseball game. Whatever. I'm a very competitive person, deep down I want to win, everytime. Losing isn't an option lol. And sometimes being so competitive can be a downfall. Letting little things get under my skin and instead of letting it go, I dwell on it and instead of having my head in the game, its elsewhere. You can be a good loser, but you don't have to like it.
The only people you can count on are your loved ones. I've learned this the hard way. I've got friends I trust explicitly but there are times when people let you down. And that's ok, learn from it and move on. People are going to let you down, it's life. People are going to put you down, push you down, and try and hold you back in life. You have to fight it and not let what they do or say matter. Because if you do, they've already won. People aren't as nice or caring as the world would like us to think. The sooner you figure that out, the better off you'll be. It's a sad fact. The world can be a shitty place to live, but again, it's all what you make it. If you put no effort in, you'll get nothing back.
Stupid Random facts.
I was born on the coldest day in the history of chicago.
I've lived in two houses, and a couple apartments when I was younger.
I played baseball from ages 5-19.
I love the number 20, It's my number. Always has been. I wear it on my chain.
I literally, hate to lose, at anything. I'm Pyscho.
I hated high school so much, I refused to go, and it cost me an extra half year.
I love a lot of different kinds of music, even country.
I drive a Chevy Malibu. First car I ever bought new.
I'm afraid of failing.
I love the Discovery Channel, Mythbusters, dirty jobs.
Tupac was the greatest rapper ever. R.I.P. Yes, he is dead.
I love mo-town, The Temptations, Flamingos. Oh yes.
I love Monster. Period.
I'm afraid of dentists.
Adult Swim. Best station ever. Venture Brothers, Aqua Teens, Robot Chicken.
I look like my mom mostly.
I love sports, the big three especially. Baseball, Basketball, Football. Have memories and injuries to go with all three.
I quit smoking.
It'll be a year in January since my last cigarette. I'm pretty good with computers.
I love fish tanks. Saltwater.
I love you Leah, with every bit of my heart. I now know what true love is. I see it and feel it every day.
Scarface is probably my favorite movie of all time.
Coke over Pepsi. Anyone who says different should be stabbed in the eye.
I love my Ipod. Best investment ever.
I want a Boxer.
Miller Lite.
Bean Bag Toss. Best game when you're drinking, or drunk. Tom wants me.
I've got friends I trust with my life. You know who you are.
Life gets hard. Life isn't meant to be easy. Deal with it.
Some of life's best lessons can be learned by listening to a song.
I'm more than just a truck driver.
I'm going back to school at 22. Hey that rhymes.
You think you know.. lol.
That's a little insight into me. There's obviously more to me, but that's it for now. If you want to get to know me, ask to be my friend. I want friends on here that are actually friendly. Not people who are out to get a million friends, or people who have a million hoes on their list. I want people who really are who they say they are.
I will never let you fall.
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you, through it all.
Even if saving you sends me to heaven. It's ok.

My Interests

.. Well.. It's been awhile since I updated everything.. so here goes. I love salt water aquariums, I love helping fix problems, the end result is always what makes the work worthwhile. I have an interest in cars, yet know nothing about them. Yes video games, I can be a nerd still lol. I'm an average guy. I love sports, anything competitive is a good time. But I have to learn to sometimes turn off that competitive mode when you're playing minature golf or something lol. I can't be tackling random people or shoving them into the little ponds, thats why I can never go to links and tees again.

My main interest, and most of my time, goes into my relationship. I find that a relationship is never really perfect, but you should always work to make it that way. A true perfect relationship is knowing you have little problems and quirks, but never letting them get to you, or break you apart. Always working together, always backing eachother, always loving, and caring for one another. Giving your whole heart to someone, Giving everything you've got to someone, not holding anything back. Jumping head first with no parachute. And never regretting a thing.

I love you with my whole heart, with every beat, even between the beats, I love you baby. You are my everything.

Music:

..I love music, but it has to mean something, it has to have something to it. I love rap music, but a lot of the "c"rap thats out there right now is bad. Music these days in general is just bad. I really don't even like to listen to the radio anymore, because theres nothing but garbage out there. MTV is a joke. Everything so commercial. I love lyrics that mean something. That have something behind them, I love to read into the music, looking for something, a good rhyme with substance, or a verse with heart. It just cant be manufactured crap.

Movies:

..Movies.. Comedies are my favorites. I have a wide spectrum of favorites.. from Scarface to Super Troopers, Billy Madison to the Godfather lol.

I'm a big Blade fan, I loe mobster movies, Classic comedies like The Blues Brothers, Animal House. Waiting, The Shawshank Redemption. Seriously, in order for me to list all the movies I love would take way to long. And who really cares what my favorite movies are? lol. If you really wanna know.. just ask.

Television:

.. The Sopranos, Favorite show of all time.. I own every season so far. The 6th Season was a let down, but still had some good parts. Adult Swim is probably gets the most television time from me. Family Guy

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Venture Brothers, Robot Chicken lol. Seriously.. it's all deadly.

"Brock: You get the boys... I'll take care of these guys...
Dr. Venture: Are you sure? There's an awful lot of them.
Brock: They hit me with a truck... "

The best. The Original. My Favorite show of all time. if you don't love it. Don't talk to me. lol.

Books:

..A Song of Fire and Ice, Left Behind, To Kill a Mocking Bird, Dean Koontz. I love to read. It's a lot of fun. Seriously.

Heroes:

..I have so many people I would consider heroes.
My parents for one for raising me the way they did. I am who I am because of them. Both good and bad. If it wasn't for them I'd be someone different, and maybe my whole life would be different. They always made sure I never wanted for anything. And I love them for that.
Leah Marie, You've changed me. In every way imaginable. You gave me the life I always wanted. You gave me love, you care for me, you'd do anything for me. And I hope you know I give you that too. I love you so much. Thank you for always being there for me, being my shoulder to cry, or lean on.
My brothers, Peter and Tony, you crazy bastards, I wouldn't want anyone else for brothers, I love you guys so much. We fight, and argue, but ten minutes later we're laughing. We've gone through some tough shit, that kids should never have to deal with. But we'll get through it, learn from it, and move on. Stick together, through thick and thin. that's how we do.
My friends, old and new, every one of you has helped shape the person I am. I look up to each and every one of you, because each and every one of you has a quality or qualities that I wish I could emulate. We all have our goods and bads, it's what we make of them that defines us.
