Swiped from that Kate.monster

PART I - PERSONAL

1. Post a recent photo or describe yourself (physical appearance)
5-5 short brown hair, currently sporting a goatee. Compared to my skinny early 20’s, I have a little belly and slightly muscular.

In a awesome town about 20m from boston MA. We have a Mall, a few shopping centers and a world wide known Chinese restaurant about 1/4 mile from my house. Yum


3. Are your parents still alive? Write something current about your parent(s) or at least a memory of them:
My dad use to own a cab company, sold that a few years ago and now is the full time, emergency management director and head of 911 in a little city next to boston. He loves washing cars and getting a tan at the beach.
She is a stay at home mom. She is the best mom. I had no one to go to the BoyzIImen concert with Saturday night, so she went and she knew a few of their old song and since they recently put out a “mo town” album, she knew all those songs.


4. Do you have any siblings? If so, write one sentence about each of them:
I have my twin. The best brother I could ever ask for. He is an architect and is married to a lovely lady.
My older brother. He’s a loner, needs to have the newest, the biggest of everything. The world revolves around him. He works for Comcast, a cable-internet-phone provider, in the customer service department at the same job he was when he started. There must be a reason he hasn’t advanced in all those years while he’s seen many climb fast through the ranks.
My sister, at home she is a bitch, in the public eye, she is a saint.
She plays professional football, last year got a trophy for the strongest woman in MA. Than in NewEngland, than in the north east. Heck, she has a video of herself pulling a mac truck.

Health care and education. Raise taxes a lot so we can have a universal health care and college would be very very affordable. However, within the first five years of graduation, unless you go on to higher or more education, you must volunteer so many hours within that field.

Conservitive jew, selebrates the main holidays but would like to do more.

I was doing my undergrad internship in a Juvenile court house in a crime city. I was talking to a lawyer in between cases. She had told me that 90% of her time is spent on paperwork. I thought, hmm if 90% of her time is spent on paper work, it would probably mean 110% of my time would be spent on paper work. I want to help people I don’t want to be doing paper work all day.

When my grand dad handed me and my two brother’s our first pack of baseball cards.

55. Name three things you've never tried but would like to do before you die?
hmmm well, I have 3 goals I set for myself when I was only 14, do those count?
Visit all major league stadiums, to ern a doctorate degree and to get married.

A skeliton in my closet that I don’t share.

57. What's the best decision you've ever made?
To be honest, I’m not sure.
I mean, who’s to say another decision I made would not have been a better choice?
We make so many choices every hour of every day, of every week, of every month, of every year of every decade we live.
