.. You are Hot Rod. You are an all around good person. You follow rules until they get on your nerves, then you throw out the rule book and start shooting. You tend to act first and that sometimes gets you into trouble, but you've got it under control. You have this incredible need to do what you think is right. When you find yourself in charge, you are rather uncomfortable, but you have the savvy to get the job done. Rock on with your hot-headed self. Take this quiz!

Hi, name's Dan... I'm 29 years old and I've spent my whole life in Connecticut (though according to the "How Connecticut are you" survey I'm only 48% CT)... that may change when I get kicked out of the house in April. I'm currently employed as a cellular phone salesman for a large retailer (too ashamed to name it)- but I also am a professional musician as bassist for local rock/cover band "Unprepared". In fact, I'd have to say music is my life. Even though most of my idols and role models are standup comics or comedic actors, music is in my blood thanks to my father who is a phenomenal keyboardist and songwriter in his own right- from an early age, he exposed me to a huge variety of music. He has a 1500+piece vinyl collection spanning everything from The Beatles & Rolling Stones to Hank Williams, Sr. to Judas Priest to Earth Wind & Fire to Beethoven and everything inbetween- yet he also warned me since childhood to stay away from the music industry- Problem is, I can't help it... Anyhoo, one thing I have to mention is my extreme fandom for Tonight Show host Jay Leno- I probably wouldn't even be working now if I hadn't read his book. I owe a lot of my current optimism to him. Admittedly, I've toned it down a bit since say 7 or 8 years ago... but I still consider myself his biggest fan.
My email address is lenorules1950@yahoo.com if you'd like to add me and you're not a 'bot.

Who I'd like to meet: Jay Leno (again), Khandi Alexander, Stephen Root, Darrell Hammond, Tina Fey, Rachael Ray, Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett, John Frusciante, and that girl who was on the cover of that one black men's magazine a few months ago. I think she's married to Russell Simmons or something.
I saw Nancy Grace the other night while I was sick, and I counted " tot mom" being said 8 times in 15 minutes- then I fell asleep- how drunk would I have been if that was a drinking game? It's amazing anyone gave that lady a show!
I am finally going to Funny Bone in Manchester this weekend- Diana, her man and my man are all seeing Greg Giraldo we are all really excited. And Frank and I are seeing Jerry Seinfield in a couple of months also. I hear the funny bone is great so I cannot wait to go!!!!!
Just wanted to say Happy New Year! And have a great time in Cali when you go- do you just go to LA, or do you hit other areas as well? Miss hearing from ya keep in touch!
But are you better at winning contests with Star Trek involved?? Check out my latest blog to see what im talking about lol!!
BTW...i could challenge you to the whole arts and crafts thing. In grade school a buddy of mine and I built and painted a space station out of everyday household stuff like paper towel tubes, egg cartons for the spaceships...etc etc lol...sad that i remember that lol!!
LOL- yeah I am a Capricorn- well I will say I can be reserved at times like Caps are, and I am rather career oriented- and I get along well with Taurus and Virgo people- but I am not at all organized like Caps are supposed to be- but Di is a Capricorn as well and she is also so not organized!
I myself am forever a perv- HAH HAH ;) It's one of my " manly" traits- perversion, a love of Salma Hayek's boobs, an affection for chicken wings and hot dogs, messiness and preferring to wear jeans and sneakers to dresses! Ya gotta love me LOL Yeah I am like an enigma or something- I love makeup, the color pink, designer shoes and pedicures, and yeah- the above mentioned manly stuff. go figure.
Hi there Dan!! What's up in your world? I feel bad for ya at this time of year- your place has gotta be NUTS! And at my work, a lot of folks are wicked stressed so we are getting a LOT of new clients!
Just wanted to wish you a belated VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Hope you didn't get any coal in your stocking!!! Take it easy!
