I’m just a regular dude.
I have 3 daughters. I have 2 dogs. I grew up in the Chicago ‘burbs. I once had a glorious mullet and wore a puka shell necklace, despite the fact that both of those things were a generally terrible idea. I live in the St. Louis ‘burbs. I quote 80’s movies like it’s my job. I like to think I’m sort of a big deal. Sometimes I blast heavy metal in my car on the drive home. Sometimes I blast opera in my car on the drive home. Regardless of genre, you should never underestimate the therapeutic power of driving and listening to very loud music. Also, because it’s considerably cheaper than actual therapy…then again, it’s probably not nearly as therapeutically effective as actual therapy hence the price point. But that’s a discussion and/or post for a different time.
I dig lots of things…notably soccer, The Village Bar, my 3 Blondies, cheeseburgers, Pearl Jam, writing, Union Barbershop and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I less than dig the Green Bay Packers, Drew Barrymore and every single movie she’s ever been in, politicians, Duke basketball, social media influencers, impoliteness and assholes.
You might wonder why I said “less than dig” instead of “hate”. I don’t hate because hate is a waste of time and a waste of energy and a waste of focus and, quite frankly, hate is fucking bullshit. But, again, that’s a discussion and/or post for a different time.
I have secrets and I have not secrets. The not secrets include things like how I hold a State Record for Least Saves Made in a Championship game; how, even though it’s not my recipe, I make the absolutely best tasting salsa you’ll ever put in your mouth; how I’ve fallen out of a moving car at one point in my life and about 43 other things I’ll have to think about and add to this page at a later date.
The secrets include how to properly make a Peanut Buster Parfait; whether I do or do not hold the record for Most Community Service Hours performed at my college alma mater; and about 43 other things there’s not a chance in Hell I would tell you unless I’m at gunpoint. And even then, not so much.
That said – thanks for checking out The Full Sweep. Hope you enjoy.
Until the next time…
Work hard. Be Kind. Have fun. And don’t forget to be awesome
