Movies
My favorite type of movie is the one that messes with your head. Donnie Darko, Usual Suspects, Momento, and Butterfly Effect are all examples of that type of movie. I also enjoy cult classic comedy such as Animal House, Airplane, Caddy Shack, Monty Python (Holy Grail, Life of Brian, etc), History of the World (Pt. I), and Spaceballs. Otherwise I am an action movie lover, guess it's just the guy in me.
Television
I don't have much time for TV, but I am a whore for some shows.
-Family Guy
-Lost
-Just about anything on Adult Swim
-NYPD Blue (TNT reruns while eating lunch!)
-Just getting into The Shield (just started season 1)...
Heroes
My friends and family for putting up with me. My fellow firefighters for constantly teaching me, watching my back and letting me do the same now that I am experienced. The guy who works two jobs to support his family. Most importantly the man, who in the future, will hunt down and kill the people who developed popups and spyware thinking they were a good thing.

I a person who loves to get out there and just do things, be it something new or something I've done a million times. My main focus in life is to have as much fun as possible and enjoy what I have. I'm the type of person that will make up stupid little games for a boring or undesirable task so that it can at least be somewhat pleasant.
For work I am the Manager of a local contracting company that does waterproofing, mold remediation, indoor air quality and masonry work. I have off on the weekends and I really enjoy the job. I sadly work long hours but get paid decently for it.
For fun I am a member, and currently a Captain in the Baldwin Vol. Fire Department. The men and women of the department are (for the most part) really great. Besides being able to assist people when they need help we're also like the largest fraternity in the world. They are not only a fine bunch of people to walk into a fire with, but also a great crowd to go take over some bar with.
Other fun activities that I like include playing pool, bowling, fast cars and computers.
Who I'd like to meet: I currently am going out with the most wonderful woman I have ever met. I would like to meet friends now.
