About Me

I just moved to the great city of Chicago for a job. (WOW! was that thunder, or just the Red-Line 20 feet outside my window?) I began a Master's part-time at Western Michigan to start inching my way towards my dream job, being on the sidelines or in the front office of an NFL team or D1 College. Then, almost overnight, a nice job opportunity that I couldn't pass up fell into my lap, now I'm in Chicago......................

My Interests

anything funny; ....Vegas, baby, Vegas!...; sun, water and Chicago; Football.. the real, "use your hands" kind- (not soccer- sorry FIFA fan); weights; making people laugh; exploring my new city; playing guitar... even though I'm still a hacker; movies on the Big Screen; Knocking out my ego-maniac roomates' punkass at Fight Night 3 with one punch (yes, only one punch, Riley) and being able to gloat about it for all eternity (anyone who knows him knows why); golf; fishing; getting to any live sports event I have time to. (Even Cubs games, I guess, but only because Wrigley is 4 blocks away from my front door... and they have beer there.)

I'd like to meet:

Francis Albert Sinatra and the original Rat Pack; Jack Black; Vince Lombardi; Robert DeNiro; Clint Eastwood; Angelina Jolie (yeah she's weird, but I can get over it); Vince Vaughn; Dane Cook... the "super finger" to all you who don't know; Bo Schembechler; Will Ferrell... quite possibly the funniest man alive; and George W Bush... just so I could ask him to spell "Presidential", then I could smirk when he looks for help, because he's unable answer to my question.

Music:

Sinatra; Stevie Ray Vaughn; BB King; Pink Floyd; Cake; Pearl Jam; and Tenacious D, just to name a few.

Movies:

Talledaga Nights: the Legend of Ricky Bobby.... absolutely one of the top 3 funniest movies of all time! the Godfather series; CaddyShack; BraveHeart; Any Given Sunday; Boon Dock Saints; Happy Gilmore; the Good ,Bad, and the Ugly; Raging Bull; the Blues Brothers; the 40year old Virgin.

Television:

HBO Sundays- Sopranos, Deadwood, Entourage, Big Love. Conan O'Brien; The Colbert Report; The Daily Show; other than that, any live sports on TV. (no, FIFA fan, still no soccer though...)

Books:

almost any Dean Koontz or Grisham; Brave New World; any Phillip K. Dick; my weekly Sporting News.

Heroes:

Larry Csonka, Dick Butkus, Lance Armstrong, Sinatra, whomever replaces George W. Bush, and the Dhali Lama. (Big hitter the Lama. Flowing Robes.. breathtaking.)

A List of Reasons Why Living in Chicago is Better Than in Michigan

My buddy Wes and I just moved to Chicago from Kalamazoo, Michigan.  We both also grew up in towns of about 7,000 people, then moved on and graduated from our respective Colleges.  ...

Old Friends?

Yes, I was sucked into the abyss of myspace as well.  But, this my space stuff is pretty cool. Isn't it amazing how many people you never cared to talk to again can find you now?! ...
