About Me

I think it’s safe to say I’ll be blogging as long as I have access to a computer, so I might as well give you a little background on who I am and what I’m about…

Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I love this city to death and I have trouble seeing myself leaving. I still live in the house I grew up in (sans parents) and it is definitely surreal at times. As a child I was always into sports: Swimming, basketball, and soccer were my main obsessions until I was about 16 when I realized that basketball was my real passion. I continue to hoop when my ankles are healthy enough. I’ve always been competitive (at times maybe too competitive) in everything I do. I figure if you do something, why not do it well?

I’m always interested in “what’s going on.” I like getting all my friends together at the same place to party, I like getting new music right when it’s leaked, and I like stupid ass internet videos, I like hearing about things RIGHT when they happen, I like new computers, TV’s, audio equipment, and all kinds of gadgets. Why? I’m not really sure. Just how I’m wired. I have a gorgeous girlfriend of 3 years fiance and I don’t know what I’d do without her.

My boy Eric Romer started his blog 1022: ADK and I was instantly attracted to the idea. He suggested I try it out to see if it was something I might like, so I dove in,… head first,… off a 12-story building. I feel like I should have been doing this for the last 5 years. I don’t even need MySpace or Facebook anymore, I got The Grip, bitches.

Mission Statement: To provide friends, family, strangers, and haters with daily entertainment. I’ll pretty much post anything that I think people will want to look at. I will always be posting music. That will never, ever stop. You’ll also get a mix of viral YouTube videos, party pictures, shout outs, etc. If I think it’s tight, you’ll see it on my page.

For some reason I really do enjoy doing this and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

The Grip is a daily visit for me, RSS’d on the Toolbar, and discussed at the dinner table often.

If nothing better happens from ADK than The Grip being born, then I’m satisfied.

Summer of ‘04, who woulda thought, Ronnie’s crib and Reno 911 would create the start of two ballin’ ass dudes hanging out, seeing good shows, hitting the alleys in Chicago and makin these ladies do the hula hoop around the gym (just to get a peak again).

I believe you are confusing people by showing them the picture of yourself as a child in a white tuxedo. It would only be fair to explain to your loyal audience that you were in fact once a baby vampire. I think it would also be important to mention the shitty pets you’ve owned/own as well a brief description or your roommates.
