I’ve been thinking there are some general things to know about me before we get started here. I think these basic bits of info will go a long way to making this whole experience more understandable to you civilians.

First off, I’m 28 years old and currently live in North Palm Beach, FL. I went to the University of Florida and studied Journalism. I’m a huge Gators fan and support them in all aspects of life. I’ve been told I’m a huge homer, but I feel with my journalistic background I’ve been trained to be completely unbiased. UF just happens to be the best at so many things, it can be taken for bias by the non gifted.

I’ve also been to rehab quite a few times. Currently I’ve been sober since 3/01/09 and haven’t gambled since 11/19/08. I go to recovery meetings for both fellowships. I also currently live in a halfway house. Its certainly not what I’m used too (chaotic drug and alcohol induced craziness) or what I grew up on (Palm Beach snobbery and narcissism). All in all though, it ain’t too bad.

Some of my favorite people: Tim Tebow, Paris Hilton, Kobe Bryant, Johnny Rotten, Billy Idol, Richard Branson, Tyler Durden, Erin Andrews, Charlie Sheen and such (you get the picture). I’m big into all things celebrity. I’m not scared to admit I watch a whole lot of E! and TMZ.

I currently work for a financial company running their social network marketing department. So basically I’m blogging and on twitter and things all day there. So naturally I want to come home and do pretty much the same thing.

I’m sure a lot of other things will come to light as this strange trip progresses. That’s a good starting point.
