-get home from work: change clothes -wake up on weekends: move to the couch.. the shower comes shortly after.

Who would you like to pattern yourself after?

Sinatra. Just a stand up guy who partied, entertained, gambled.. He could do no wrong. And even if he did, no one cared. They loved him anyway.

What is your favorite vacation spot?

Tough one. Probably Aruba. Only spent 2 days there (1 day on each of 2 separate cruises), but it's a great place.

If you could get paid the same amount of $ at your current job and do anything, what would it be?

Start a winery

If you found $200 in the trash and you had to spend it that day, what would you do with it?

Put it towards this new grill that I want. The one I have sucks. Might as well be cooking burgers in my toaster!

What kind of music you like the most and why?

-I'm all over the map with music. As a genre, I'd probably go with the crooners-type of stuff. Sinatra reminds me of cocktail time. Makes me feel like having a martini.

Who have you been most influenced by and why?

Probably my dad. He always set good examples. Never pulled that "do as I say, not as I do" crap, which never works. Lots of integrity. All the good stuff people strive for.

What makes you cry?

-Country music. But only after lots of drinking by myself.

What is your favorite town or state in the United States?

Hard to beat Chicago. It really is a great place. Good midwestern people, all sorts of sports teams, great summers. Just don't try to drive ANYWHERE on a Friday during rush hour.

What do you usually eat for dinner?

Most common thing would be Ultimate Nachos. I go all out for mexican night. Never get tired of it.

-Best of Sinatra

Ferris Bueler's Day Off

What do you do for $?

Manage telephone and internet products (telecom). Most people don't understand my job when I try to explain it, so in an effort to ease the uniterested/glazed over eyes, I just say I "work with computers". Now this is far from the focus of my job, but then again, not entirely a lie either. But then again... Who DOESN'T work with computers?

very little make-up, natural beauty and nice/fit butts.

Dogs or cats?

Dogs for sure. I don't believe in cats, plus I'm alergic to them.

What is your favorite sports team?

Detroit Pistons or the St. Louis Cardinals (not a popular thing here in Chicago). I grew up with the Cardinals farm team nearby (Louisville Redbirds), so that's how it worked out. And the Bad Boys of the late 1990's ruled.

Nope. Not into 'em. Too much of a wuss for them really.
