About Me

I really hate these things. I can never think of anything important or relevant to say about my personality because frankly, I'm not entirely sure that I have one. But I will tell you the basics. I'm a recent graduate of UIC's Liautaud ( I call it Leotard) School of Business majoring in Management Information Systems. So I have an MS/MIS degree. For those of you who don't know, MIS stands for Management Info Systems which is basically a CS degree blended with an MBA-ish background. So to all you nerds who have a CS degree from an engineering college, I'll be your boss. Fools. Beyond that I have traveled extensively, collect antique books and various Egyptian antiquities (though not much, its an expensive hobby), and have gotten myself into various situations which I'm surprised I returned from. Many people think of me as a great man: a man of ideas, drive, and forgetfulness. Ask me and I will be more than happy to tell you about my idea for improving the Ipod, outsourcing Cuban cigar manufacturing to China, and how to beat the Geek Squad.

Pessimism Defeated.

I have been a Sox fan all my life, but I've always described myself as a "realistic Sox fan". Meaning that I like the Sox, but I know that they will almost always lose. I am proud to say that I have b...
