As a way to get to know each other better, I thought it would be nice to hear about what everyone's skills and hobbies are. What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Also, what would you like to learn to do?

Driving, doing random adventurous things, going out to bars, singing Karaoke, drinking with my friends at 7h shows, voluntarily being DD everywhere I go, playing Rock Band, cooking yummy food, being independent, drinking venti white mochas, graphic design, critiquing music for buddies, random road trips, crocheting, going to Lake Michigan when it's cold, riding the L, taking pictures of the city lights, being overly nostalgic, mocking the Chicago accent, saying "buggy" instead of "cart" to piss people off, ordering a hotdog at SuperDawg and making them put ketchup on it (they'll refuse everytime, and give it to you on the side), interwebs surfing, dancing in the car like no one can see me, giggling to the point of hiccups, praying for a harsh winter full of snow, taming wild animals (some men included), nagging, bluntness, painting, writing, making messes, doing laundry, arguing with fence posts, roller coasters, being an over-all hick-in-the-city/fit-right-in-too, your face, burping, make-up, shoes, most importantly is time with all the wonderful people in my life that I'd eagerly trade all the above to have more moments with them.
/exhale.

Web design, graphic design, marketing, working on computers and servers, playing guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards, recording music in my studio, playing in bands, roller skating, boating, talking about Journey and other great MR bands, driving fast convertibles (Trans Ams, Corvettes), being a husband and dad, sitting in my back yard watching the ducks and geese on the lake, bowling, going to Wisconsin Dells on the weekends, visiting Los Angeles, taking road trips in my Escalade, going to see bands in local clubs, laughing at people singing karaoke, partying with friends, photochopping rock stars in humorous ways, talking politics, mocking religion, working out, and going to every good rock concert I can.

Hot dog, schmot dog. It's all in where you're from. The dogs here are good, but I miss the old cheap pink dogs a la Martinsville Speedway. YUM!
I do it just so they'll look at me like I need a helmet.

All of this together doesn't sound to hot. Won't reusing a condom cause rashes?

As for my skills...I'm able to polish off Fig Newtons by the sleeve in under 37 seconds. I usually win most profanity constests that I enter. As for my hobbies...Football, football, and football. I also enjoy telling Tito what a douche he is. Every now and again I say hello to the wife and take her out for a five star dinner to our local McDonald's
