PHUKET

Suit Up! This is gonna be LEGENDARY!

About Me

Just a pic of me relaxing under the beach.
THE SKINNY ON ME:
My name is Robb and I was born and raised in Burlington, Ontario, which is a pseudo suburb of Toronto.... I live in Canada, but own a business and work in the States. When I'm not working I like to scuba dive, travel, play poker, watch movies among other stuff. I'm married with a daughter named Makenna.
MORE EXTENSIVE SHIT ABOUT ME:
(A look into my inner psyche)

I was conceived in Lucerne, Switzerland, born in Toronto Canada and learned to walk and pee standing up in Barbados. I've got the best friends a guy could ask for, and I'd do anything for them or my family. I'm allergic to peanut butter after 8PM...(don't ask...I can't explain it). I don't repeat, repeat myself. I'm creative. I tell the world's funniest jokes, even if most people don't laugh. I never discuss politics or religion unless I feel like punching someone in the nose. I drive a gas guzzling SUV. At one point, I wanted to be a cop. I type pretty fast with two fingers... and my mind rarely stops working.
(Unique Things I've Done)
My grandmother aka my best friend just passed away on October 5, 2006. I climbed to the top of a mountain in Petroglyph Canyon, Nevada and carved her name at the top and had a wee dram in her honour at the peak. I've been on a hot air balloon. I passed out hammered on some guys front lawn once and didn't wake up until the next morning after he cut his grass around me. I've been parasailing. I broke my buddy's arm by accident. I've hiked the Grand Canyon. I free climbed in the Valley of Fire, I wrote a pretty damn good poem about a greasy piece of pork sitting on the table in a Chinese restaurant.
I drank 10 beers and about 36 shots of booze in a 10 hour period and lived to tell about it....barely. I've been to the William Wallace Monument in Scotland(there was an obscure little known movie called Braveheart made about him) I jumped 10 stories off a cliff into a river. I've walked barefoot on hot coals. I've been pulled over once for speeding since I've had my license. It was 11 years ago and I was going nearly 90km over the speed limit. I've broken 9 out of 10 toes... all at seperate times. I've been to Area 51 in Rachel, Nevada. While there I was "asked to disperse" by imaginary guards driving imaginary white Jeep Cherokees armed with imaginary guns loaded with imaginary bullets threatening to fill me full of real holes, and that's when I almost took a real shit in my real pants. Psst.. They're hiding something.... Pass it on..
((Liquids)
Booze I like: Guinness, Captain Morgan Dark or Spicy with Coke, Black Russians, Red Bull & Vodka, Corona, Sapporo or Malibu Rum with Dr. Pepper. I'm also a big fan of Skim Milk, Water, Tim Horton's Coffee, Red Bull, Gatorade and Vernors Ginger Ale.
(Solids)
Some of my favourite things to eat are: grilled cheese sandwiches, PB & J, Spicy Italian sausage with roasted potatoes,carrots and onions, I'll eat chicken pretty much cooked any way and my mom's almond cake. I make a mean grilled salmon and some of my other favorites are lobster, crab legs, steak, sushi and shrimp.
(Likes)
I'm very proud of my Scottish heritage (I got married in a kilt). I love Barbados, St. Maarten, cruise vacations and Scotland. I've been to Las Vegas every Halloween for work (and play) for the past twelve years. (check out my pics for some of this years photos) I play darts. I snowboard. I want to take up golf. I like haggis. I drive fast. I want another tattoo. My favourite restaurant is Benihana (Japanese hibachi). I love Tim Horton's coffee. I also like Venti Tazo Chai Latte's from Starbucks. I've come to appreciate Dora the Explorer because of my daughter. (Swiper no swiping!!!) and most importantly...I love to sleep.
(Hates)
I hate braggarts, (I don't give a shit how much better you have it than me... I ain't done yet!) liars and frauds. It irritates me when people commit to something and then don't follow through with it for no reason. I hate gardening. (I have a toxic brown thumb) I firmly believe that mushrooms are the most disgusting thing on this planet... They aren't named "SHIT"take for nothing...
