Neil's Interests
|
| General | 
Classic cars, Jeeps, dirt-bikes / four-wheelers, camping, hiking, fishing, and pretty much anything outdoors. Dinner out at a nice restaurant, pizza by candlelight with a rented movie, or a bottle of wine and a camp-fire.| Your Personality Profile | 
You are funky, outdoorsy, and down to earth.
While you're not exactly a hippie...
You're definitely one of the most free spirited people around.
You are very impulsive - every day is a new adventure.
However, you usually put some thought behind your actions.
Still, you do tend to shock and offend people from time to time! Fuck 'em, right?

| | Music |
The best way to describe my musical tastes would be... ECCLECTIC. I prefer classic rock and heavy metal, but I'll listen to everything from jazz to old-school rap as well. Old-school punk rock is way up on the list, too. Country, bluegrass, techno, R&B... I like it ALL.
| | Movies |
Breakfast at Tiffany's, Breakfast Club, A Christmas Story, Meet Joe Black, Ferris Beuller's Day Off, Old School, Tommy Boy, Water Boy, Caddy Shack, Stripes, Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail, The Life of Brian, and The Meaning of Life, Sabrina, Seven, Fallen, SAW, Goodfellas, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, The Godfather, The Shining, Pulp Fiction, Four Rooms, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Notebook, and soooooooo many more than I care to type. | | Television |
I don't really watch television. Occasionally I'll watch Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network, or the Discovery Channel, or Animal Planet or something, but I can't really remember the last time I watched TV and KNEW what was coming on next. I guess I got too busy. | | Books |
My Side of the Mountain, Needful Things, Christine, The Firefox Series, Collection of Poe Stories and Poems, Johnny Got His Gun, All Quiet On the Western Front... | | Heroes |
The United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard troops who keep this country as safe as they can, at a huge personal sacrifice, and under extreme conditions. THANK YOU. YOU ARE ALL AMERICA'S HEROES. EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU. I've been where you are, and I appreciate all you do! YOU F*CKIN' ROCK! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU, and COME HOME SAFE! |

About me:
CLICK HERE FOR THE MOST RUDE, OFFENSIVE, AND FUNNY AS HELL T-SHIRTS ANYWHERE!
In fact, here's TEN BUCKS toward your new shirt! Just click the banner below and sign up! No kidding, they'll send you a FREE $10 debit card. This REALLY WORKS. I stumbled across it on the web about two weeks ago, and figured 'what the hell'. I got mine in the mail last week.
Pretty much, what ya see is what ya get. A great 20th century philosopher once said, "I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam... (funny laugh)". I would say that about sums it up. Thanks Popeye. Couldn't have said it better myself. I spent alot of years trying to be who it was that I thought everyone wanted me to be. Whether it was my parents, my friends, my girlfriend, my (ex)wife... whoever. So, a few years ago, I decided I was going to try something a little out of character. I was just going to start being... me. Imagine that! Y'know what happened? I became a much happier, more satisfied person. AND, I learned alot......................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I learned that I'm a pretty good guy when I'm just being the natural clown I was intended to be, instead of what I had been pretending to be for so long. I enjoy just cutting loose, trying to get people to laugh at life for a minute. I learned that I'm a good friend. I learned that I HAVE good friends. I learned that, while life has it's ups and downs, the sun is going to come up tomorrow, the tides will rise and fall, and if I'm lucky I'll get to see it all. Even if for just one more day. I am the "nice guy", yet I am the "Bad Boy". In other words, as long as you don't cross me, we're cool. I'll be the best friend you ever had. BUT, the second you prove to be anything other than a friend, watch the FUCK out. I WILL make your life a living HELL, but only after I beat the FUCK out of you. There are a few who have it coming as I type this. You know who you are, so look the FUCK out........................................................................................................................................................................................................................ I learned that an ounce of positivity tossed at a usually negative person/situation can have the explosive effect of a 20 megaton bomb... but in a good way. I learned that the glass isn't just half full, the refill is already on the way. I learned that there isn't anything I can't do. And if you (or anyone else on this planet) tell me I can't, the harder I'm going to try until I succeed. And I WILL succeed. Another great 20th century philosopher once said, "Do or do not... There is no try". Thanks, Yoda. Words to live by........................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I learned that there is always going to be someone who thinks they're better than I am, in whatever context, for whatever reason. Fine. I'm cool with that. I learned that I'm a great teacher, and a willing student. I learned that big dreams are great to have, but only if you have the balls to act on them. Then they become big actions, and it's the big actions that yield big results. Without the action, babe, they're only dreams. Funny that they're called dreams, isn't it? I think it's a bad choice of a name for something so important. Think about it... Something you experience when your eyes are closed, and that goes away when your eyes are open? They don't HAVE to go away when your eyes are open......................................................................................................................................................................................................................... OK. So now y'all know what I stand for. Here's a little more about the man under the goofy hat. Which, by the way, is just one of many that I have no problem wearing in public. It's sorta my thing... my trademark if you will. I was born and raised for the first 19 years of my life in Phillipsburg, NJ. After a rough spot in life, far too much to go into, I joined the Navy. They taught me responsibility, accountability, and how to dry-shave while on a boat in a hurricane (OUCH). I spent six years building torpedos (oes? I dunno...), and learning how to prepare gourmet top-ramen dishes while on a budget. (PS, Beerios are not that bad. Some of y'all know what I'm talking about. The rest of y'all, just ask...) I spent just about all of my Naval experience in Virginia, where I met my now ex-wife, and lived until July of 2005. And now... I'm here. I've had some REALLY interesting jobs and experiences, none of which I would trade for the world........................................................................................................................................................................................................................ I am "that guy". Yep. You've all encountered "that guy" before. The guy who lit the bill of his ball-cap on fire to get the bartender's attention because your wine glass was empty... and because he thought you were cute? Me. (Guys, it works... Bartender comes a-runnin'! But, buy cheaper ball-caps.) I'm the guy who plays AC/DC, Pantera, Metallica, Rammstein, and White Zombie on the jukebox at a country bar. I'm that guy from whom you never quite know what to expect next. Hence, the title. I'm a little crazy, yet completely harmless. I try to keep things interesting, and I'll make ya laugh even if it's at my own expense. Life is too short to give a FUCK about what ANYONE else thinks. Live every minute as though it were your last, because someday the minute you're livin' in WILL be your last. I don't want to take any I've got left for granted. I'm gonna have some FUN while I'm here. Anybody wanna come with me?!?

Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet...
Jack Nicholson,
Audrey Hepburn (if she wasn't deceased),
Ted Nugent,
Edgar Allan Poe,
Jonas Salk,
The guy whose job it is to stuff those little red things I can't spell (pimientos?) into green olives. (You KNOW homeboy has GOT to be losin' it at the end of the day.)
Most importantly of all...
The girl of my dreams. She's beautiful both inside and out, can have fun in any setting, isn't afraid to laugh at herself and life in general, doesn't care what other people think. She appreciates the little things. Most of all, she wants to see me smile as much as I want to see her smile. She doesn't like to fight, and would rather sit down and discuss things like adults rather than having a screaming match. (I never raise my voice above normal tones...) She's open to all my wild ideas and adventures, can accept (better yet, encourage) my spontaniety, and is always open to a new experience. Are you out there? UPDATE: FOUND HER! GETTING MARRIED OCTOBER 13th, 2007!
