I am here for Networking

About Me

Let me start off by saying that everything our parents ever "preached" to us, or what most of the time felt to us like unwanted advice, about becoming adults/taking on responsibilities/having children/raising a family/ making sound decisions were spot on. At the time you'd roll your eyes and think, "Ah geez, not this shit again." But in reality, they were exactly fucking right!Anyhoo!Madison is 3-months old and I never thought being a parent/father could bring so much happiness and fulfillment into my life. To see her move and react to her surroundings, and attempt to commuinicate and giggle just kills me. Every time I look at her I think to myself, "there is no way she came from me." She is too pure and perfect to have been of my doing. But to see her look into my eyes and "communicate" via that media makes my heart melt and understand that she knows I'm her father. And again, this kills me. Because I thought I could never love someone as much as I love/have loved/and will continue to love Christina, but to feel the kind of love you have for your child is something I hope everyone gets a chance to experience.

My Interests

My knocked-up wife. Trying to play the guitar. Getting pissed that I can't think of anything to play. No-limit Texas Hold Them. Trying to break 80 (I fucking love golf!). Playing ping-pong. Listening to good music, and talking about what makes it "good." Hanging out with friends when time permits it. Sleep ain't a bad thing. Eating's cool, too. Being OUT.

I'd like to meet:

Already met 'em both. The loves of my life.

Music:

Band-wise (I ain't gonna name every frickin' band I like in the book, but, here's the good'uns): Dave Matthews Band, Radiohead, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Van Morrison, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Counting Crows, Jack Johnson, David Gray and The "D"; Guitar God-Style (In order of Flareness): Jimi, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tim Reynolds, Slowhand himself, Bob Marley, Dave, Kurt Cobain (his songwriting gets my vote here, but he rounds out the top of em for me). Oh yeah, and classic 70's and 80's hits of our generation.

Movies:

I always find myself renting, like, two or three movie on the weekend, getting home, eating, popping in the first one, getting through the first 20 minutes, and then I'm OUT!

Television:

The Stros suck again.

Books:

Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, Eiger Dreams and Into the Wild by the same dude, Super System by Doyle Brunson, Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss, One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey "The Kid" Ungar by Peter Alson and Nolan Dalla, Positively Fifth Street by James McManus, etc...

Heroes:

My wife, my parents and my family and friends.
