Who I am

If you know me, you know I'm many things. Amongst those, I am a hypocrite who can't be serious and rarely sticks to a point. Well, less than a month ago, I closed this thing down, but now I'm reconsidering it. Things have been happening that must be mentioned.

First, on 5/24/06, I came in second place at the Carnegie Deli Pickle Eating Contest. I ate 2.6 lbs in 5 minutes, losing to Arnie "Chowhound" Chapman by only .3 lbs. Coverage can be found on the Association of Competitive Eaters website and the New York Metro Website

Following these events (5/27/06 - 6/1/06), I spent an amazing 5 days with Danielle on Long Island. Events that can be mentioned included going to the beach and seeing the Blue Angels, movies (Over the Hedge), trips to the many malls of Long Island, and many other things.

On Thursday (6/1/06), I had the opportunity to see Pearl Jam for the second time. Bill and I ventured into the land of Evil (New Jersey) and saw an awesome concert that included My Morning Jacket (sucked) and Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam would have probably played for longer if given the chance. Damn the "No Playing Past 12AM" rule.

Coming soon - A week in North Carolina with Danielle and her family (6/3/06 - 6/11/06). I've never had anyone I was with invite me on a family trip, so it is definately a nice change. Upon return they'll be more concerts, trips to the beach, and other bullshit to talk about. I probably would start adding the funny stories, but that would mean I'd have to update this things more often. HA HA HA. As always, be well.
