Okay, thanks to Subrosa for the advice... my introductory blog...

Well, it is almost 11:00 pm CDT as begin to type this, and I just walked in the door after a couple beers and yet another 12 hour day at work. Pretty typical of my life right now. My time is divided among three main themes:

1. Work. I am not one to complain about work. It does consume the vast majority of my time and energy, but I like it that way. Work is only a negative when you do not believe in the work that you are doing. I do. Sure, I would enjoy having more free time to persue other interests and hobbies, but I can't help but feel that ultimately such things are merely a waste of time. Not very romantic I know, but I've begun to realize that our time on this planet is so short (in the big picture of things) that we really don't have much time to waste. What do I actually do you ask? Well, I know that it is probably pretty atypical of an SG user, but I am a corporate financial advisor for a large financial services firm. What does that mean? I essentially work in the Boiler Room (the rest of the yuppy scum out there know what I'm talking about), but with a much higher ethical standard.

2. Pursue my passion. I love fashion. I began really getting in to it around my sophomore year in high school. There is something that is incredibly empowering about dressing really well, and getting noticed for it. Therefore, I want to share my unique vision of fashion with others, and help give others the same empowering experience I have had. Unfortunately, my artistic talent is very limited, so I am quite incapable on the design end of things. Instead I am working on plans to open a men's high fashion retailer that is quite unlike any you have ever seen before (I am quite sure). More on that later...

3. Spending way too much time and money at the bar. What can I say? Life doesn't get any better than cocktails with a couple of good people at a nice...

3. Spending way too much time and money at the bar. What can I say? Life doesn't get any better than cocktails with a couple of good people at a nice place. I have an affinity for gin and tonic, especially tanqurey, and as far as beer and wine go, it's blue moon or any good merlot. I love going to new bars and restaurants. I'm equally comfortable in a trendy down town night club, or a whole in the wall dive bar. As long as the crowd is friendly, and the staff treats you well, I love it.

So that is pretty much my life right now. I know that I am probably pretty far from your typical SG user, but that is one of the things that I really like about SG. There is such an eclectic group of users, and truthfully, I am really excited by the creativity and uniqueness of the people on SG. My life has way too much of the same in it, so I'm hoping to broaden my horizons and the scope of my social network. That's it for now, hope to meet a lot of you soon.
