I, first of all, like to dislike this kind of inner disclosure. I tend to keep to the superficial, and only let those inside, that really matter to me.

Those inside are my family, and a few select friends, most dating back to the 80's.

With that said, I am blessed to have many close friends and family... unfortunately I am clueless when it comes to remembering names. I use the word "man", "guy", and "chief" a lot more than I wish to.

I like sports, but at my age have been relegated to soccer, golf, and the occasional pick up round of something. I play poker every week, and love to visit Vegas. I am a devout Detroit Lion's fan... which means in January I am a Steeler fan. I got to be part of history this year as a season ticket holder of the first and only 0-16 nfl franchise. Check back next summer and there should be some pics of my ambulance I bought to tailgate in this past fall. That's my new toy.

I like all kinds of music, but I am blown away by good blues. Catch me on the right day and I actually like some country. I like my movies with dialogue and detest the mindless blow it up crap... But give me Blazing Saddles, Harold and Kumar, Slap Shot, and pretty much and Will Ferrell flick and I am very happy.

I love the comedian, Mitch Hedberg, and wish he was still here to make us laugh with his brilliance. Here are a few of my favorite lines of his:

"I don't have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who'd be mad at me for saying that."

"I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later."

"I had a stick of CareFree gum, but it didn't work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my mortality."

"My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. I don't really know what's happening down there. Who is the real hero?"

"This shirt is dry clean only. Which means... it's dirty."

"I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too."
