What I'm reading: I just finished New Moon, the second book of the Twilight Series

What I'm listening to: I just downloaded The Fray's new album from Itunes

Favorite movie: Hard to say. I love comedies and action movies. I own more than 200 DVDs.

Favorite way to relax: I enjoy playing with my guns and spending time with friends. Good friends are hard to come by so I like to keep the ones I have. 

Favorite Sport: Baseball

Favorite team: New York Yankees

Easiest way to annoy me: Very hard to do. Close-minded people who always have to be right can get you pretty close. 

Most influential person in my life: My mother. She did it alone. Two children, single parent in New York City. Let's just say I wasn't always on the straight and narrow. 

If won $1 million I would: Donate to charity. I know what it's like to have nothing. I grew up in tough times. I would invest to earn more and never forget where I came from.
