I’m a huge world football fan. I help run a site about Brazilian football, its called ofutebol.com. I also play a lot too. In Chicago the weather is so bad in the winter that we all have to play indoors, although I do sometimes play a pickup game off of Lakeshore drive, I wear about four coats, hats & gloves, long johns… you get the idea. I have a rule that I have to play as much football as I watch on TV.
Music
I have been listening to DJ Shadows, Becks and TV on the Radios new CDs. I'm also been playing Broken Social Scenes way too much.
Movies
Love em. I'm a Netflix user... I'm trying to pick indie/foreign movies at the moment. Also went to see The Illusionist... very good
Television
None. Although my wife and I like to rent a lot of the the HBO shows when they come out on DVD... Deadwood, The Wire, Sopranos. Also, just got through Rome... great stuff.
Books
I'm reading the Thinking Fan's Guide to the World Cup at the moment. Also recommend Futebol The Brazilian Way of Life (The bible of Brazilian football)
Heroes
Living but retired: George Best, Roy Keane, Romario, Careca, Liam Brady, Socrates, Zidane, Bryan Robson, Platini, Zico, Diego Maradono, Pele, Zbigniew Boniek, Dunga
About me: I am a Chicago based Interactive Creative Director. My professional web site is at: www.the4thofficial.com.
Did you spot the football (soccer) theme in the URL? I’m a football addict... play, watch, read, design... you name it. Kind of sad really... not sure how my lovely wife puts up with me.
Glad for the add, mate. It's good to be back in touch with someone such as yourself who's as passionate a MIGHTY LIVERPOOL fan as I am. Together we'll rejoice as the MIGHTY LIVERPOOL win yet another European Championship this year, just as we'll snort with derision when those numpties m*n utd win the league.
COME ON, YOU MIGHTY RED MEN OF ANFIELD!!!!
FOWLER IS GOD!!!!!
