About Me

I just turned "old", but I've been figuring out that it's not all that bad. I used to be a lot more fanatical, but now I realize that sports is just a nice distraction at times. I'm still a huge Vikings fan and that fanaticism won't go away. I have 2 fantastic kids and a great group of friends. However it's always nice to find people who bond over some of my favorite pasttimes, like sports...so here I am.

| Why I Hate Them: | He's a complete jerk, nothing else to say. |
