1 Checking my voicemail is akin to my kryptonite as it makes me weak, woozy and a putrid shade of green. Also, I rarely check it. It's in everyone's best interest to email me if they have questions, concerns, comments or complaints. Really, though, complaints aren't that cool, so I'd just as soon receive the former three instead. Positivity -- that's the name of my game.

Wife: Angela
Years: Together - going on 7; Married - going on 5
Meeting: A mutual friend from CSUF set us up. I made a good impression, but she didn't quite fall for all of the charms that I had to offer and blew me off. A few months later, she came crawling back. Please note that "crawling back" constitutes saying hi to me, at which point I then made every effort in the world to make sure she stuck around this time. Thankfully, she did. She has made me extraordinarily happy ever since.

Favorite Shakespeare Quote: "Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." (Macbeth V.v)
