My musical tastes vary quite drastically. I was a huge Dashboard Confessional fan but aren’t that much into the newer stuff. I have always like Weird Al. I also really like the Nick Lachey new album, and Ashley Parker Angel. Alkaline Trio is also one of my favorite bands along with Fallout Boy and Panic at the Disco.
Movies
My all time favorite movie is American History X.
Television
My favorite TV shows include, SportsCenter, WPT, Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy, Six Degrees, Extereme Makeover: Home Edition, Monday Night Football, and anything Hockey
Books
The last books I started to read, but unfortunately never finished were, “Your call is important to us: the truth about bullshit” and “ how the republicans stole Christmas”
I am engaged to a girl who is by far kicking my ass career wise. This could be because I only want to work in a non-profit environment which is a hard field to get into. Since she is advancing at such a rapid pace I feel by far inferior to her and am pretty depressed about it. Another reason she could be doing so much better career wis than me is because my company is 900 times larger than hers. I’m not exaggerating, she is one of 50 employees I am one of 31,000+ employees. With so many employees it is easy to get over looked, and the line of people waiting for advancement is very long.
My hobbies include bowling and fish keeping. I am currently in 2 different bowling leagues where I hold a 190+ pin average in both leagues. My other hobby is fish keeping. My fish keeping focus on cichlids, preferably African cichlids. I currently have 18 tanks running and holding either adult fish of Various Species of Fry. I have successfully bred bristlenose plecostomus, Common Guppies, and Psuedotropeus Demasoni. Besides plecos and African cichlids I also love the south American Apistogramma cichlids and currently have 4 Apistogramma Caucatoides my Males keep getting killed. the first 2 males were killed by angelfish, and the last male was killed by a betta.
My other activities include non profit volunteer work. I am currently involved with the American Cancer Society and the planning of the 2007 Lincoln Way Relay for Life. Last year with my help that relay was able to raise approx $240,000. My newest Non-Profit activity is Caitlyn’s Cruise. Caitlyn’s Cruise is a Harley Davidson Poker Run to raise money for a co-workers daughter, Caitlyn. Caitlyn suffers from “A Plastic Anemia” which is total bone marrow failure. Our goal this year is to raise $20,000 which would allow them to make the donation to the A Plastic Anemia foundation to put a $30,000 research grant in Caitlyn’s name. I have also coordinated various non-profit events while in college such as food drives and relay for life teams and to date my techniques raised over $10,000 for the ACS.

This movie is amazing. There is so much symbolism and so many hidden meanings to this movie. If you watch the movie not fully understanding these subtle images and meaning it will seem like a racist piece of propaganda. But if you understand the imagery it is am absolutely amazing movie.
Who I'd like to meet: I would like to meet Ad Konigs. Ad is a Ph.D in Freshwater Biology and is responsible for the finding of many African cichlid species.
Storm @ Busch Stadium - St. Louis
I would also like to meet Robert Nardelli, the past CEO of Home Depot, and fellow member of Tau Kappa Epsilon. his severance package was redicilous and was valued at over 220 million dollars.
Although deceased i would have like to meet Ronald Reagan. although i would have only been 8-10 before the Alzheimers set in, if i could have met the healthy Ron, at my current age, that would have been amazing.

Thanks, babe. We realized we should be okay (theoretically) for about a month without really having to go into savings, provided he has a check in HAND by then. So yeah, he needs a job within 2 weeks. At this point, he can lick toilets if it makes money.
Can't wait to see you Saturday and drink until we're stupid.
Happy New Year! A while back I think you wanted to add the song "Something" to your profile. Well we finally uploaded the mp3 so if you're still interested, you can grab it.
