As you can see by my profile I am very much into sports. I am also into movies, music, and TV. I love to learn new things, and I am always reading and watching things that have to do with anything wildlife or marine life. I love going to sporting events, but am just as content watching them at a sports bar or my own home. Movies are kind of my get away from real life sometimes. I love going to see big production movies on the big screen, especially IMAX type things. I have a very impressive DVD collection, so if you want to come over and watch movies let me know...lol...I also love cooking. I watch alot of the food network shows to learn new things. Growing up in a big Italian family gets you interested in this type of thing...lol...I love going to the beach, and being AROUND any part of the ocean...just not IN the ocean...Sharks you know. I probably look like a 5 course meal to them...HaHa...I love to travel and just get away, unfortunately I havent been able to do that too much lately. Hopefully I will get to do more of that in 2008. My dogs are two of my favorite things to be around. Bella and MiMi are my jet black Chow/Husky mix dogs. Bella is the mama and MiMi is her puppy (who will be 2 in Febuary)that I kept from her litter back in late Feb of 2007. She was the runt of the litter and the one I liked the best, so I decided she was the one to keep. Her Sister Nayla is in happy home with a very sweet friend Danielle. My dogs are the smartest dogs I know, you should hear some of the stories. They are probably my most loyal friends...lol...Speaking of friends, I am thankful for the true friends that I do have. The ones that are there no matter what happens, the ones that are there for not only the good times, but the bad times, and the times that I fk up...I love my family. We havent always been the closest, but things now are really good and I wish I could see them more. I would like to be able to settle down someday and have a family. One that stays together and that I get to see everyday to build an unbreakable bond, and build great family traditions, along with combining family traditions of my family and the traditions of my girlfriend/wife's family to make our own traditions and things.

Oh, and when I go back home for Xmas, I get to listen to Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Mario Lanza and old world Italian songs with my family...I think only the true Italians will understand that one...lol...
As far as my dance music tastes, I am into Electro, hard house & hi-energy trance, so I guess "hard style". good trance, good tribal house, funky good energy house with a deep bass line that rattles your soul. Anything with good, catchy chic vocals (yes, I know thats kinda cheesy but sometimes...) Ocassionally with the right DJ, I am down with some funky, dirty breaks with some sick familiar hooks, loops and vocals.

Oh and I do some of my Eventvibe work from home two or three afternoons a week, so the TV is on...HaHa
Books
OK, its not all books here, but this is what I like to read. Mario Puzo (Godfather, The Sicilian, Fourth K) Anne Rice Books (The Vampire Chronicals and The Mayfair Witches. They tie in together) Books on Psychology and communication, especially interpersonal communication. I even re-read a college text book from time to time in those subjects (i'm really not a geek). Of course the prerequisite Maxim, FHM, Stuff & Mens Health ( I know there not books, but it is reading material...lol...) Any informational books on Sharks. Books on Italy, the coffee table variety, I collect them ( I am about 75% Italian, most of that is Sicilian...The other 25% is combo of things) I like travel books, I like to read about places like Hawaii, Thailand, The Philippines, New Zealand, Australia, Spain and The Greece Islands. ( I will be visiting all of the places at one time or another). I also read alot of sports stuff. I will also be reading Bill Clinton's book soon, as well as Jenna Jamesons'.
I just really want to see what they have to say...lol...
Heroes
My Mother. No matter where Im at, what Ive done, through the success and the failures and mistakes, she has been there through it all with an unconditional love that only a mother can give.
About me: I am one of Eventvibe.com's Arizona Regional Directors (Vance Rodgers is the other), as well as the Manager for the Eventvibe AZ GoGos and promotional girls. I am involved with all of our marketing and promotions, event planning and booking DJs. I have been with Eventvibe for over 6 years now, and it has been a great experience.
I am in the beginning stages of putting together my own management company where we will be helping the careers of DJ's, bands, dancers (GoGo dancers & Pussy Cat Dolls style dancers), models & promotional girls. Down the line, I would also like to add actors/actresses & stand up comedians...
Who I'd like to meet: I'd really like to meet Bill Clinton, John Elway (I may actually get to meet him now that his son Jack has decided to go to ASU to play football), Bret Favre. Tom Brady as well...If he was still alive JFK would be on the top of that list. Mayor Gulianni...Probably Hillary Clinton as well. Robert DeNiro, Andy Garcia and Al Pacino. I will be adding more to this list later...I have been able to cross a few people off this list, Charles Barkley (who I have actually had the pleasure of hanging out with a couple times) Deion Sanders, Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith (all three of them I met the same night one of the times with Chuck) and of course the beautiful Brooke Burke (Thanks Miss Lisa)

So, im all like okay and i get into pajamas and im all dissapointed but whatever. i wasnt about to go by myself for this kid that i dont even knows party... right? sooo 2o mins goes by and then he texts me and says that theyre gonna go after i took all my stuff off and changed into pjz.... so i was just like wtf...... words of advice from a lady..... 'girls dont like to get ready for nothing, especially when it takes like an hour or so' cuz i did my hair and everything. pretty silly sounding but i was pretty mad...
