Two Thousand Heaven... also known as The Year of Dan: Take III (This Time, its Personal).

So fine, I take naps in my car. Is that SO bad? Hello, my name is Dan and I nap in my car. "Hello Dan.

I am still waiting on the royalties for all those nifty phrases I've come up with. You think maybe they don't have my address right? That's probably it. Or, the Post Office screwed up. Bleep those guys.

Recently (in two thousand heaven) I've been rocking a faux hawk to parties. My friends aren't sure what to make of it, but my co-workers request it frequently. I'll rent it out for parties and birthdays, plus corporate galas and black-tie events. Just email booking.

I'm getting better (I think) at being myself. We all do with age, right? So, I'm better at it than I was when I wrote this, and you are better at being yourself than when you started reading my swank ass profile. So it's win-win, baby, win-win!

Jubilant member of Patriot & Red Sox nations.

Poor at remembering names, events or faces and an epic mumbler, I've been known to chillax while maxin'. I hope you know where you are going, because I certainly don't.

Finally: Good talk, see you out there....

Pet Peeves: Sucky pedestrians, being rude to waitstaff, snobs, bad driving, recklessness, being inconsiderate, lacking in empathy, sweat.

Kind, caring, happy, selfless, funny, goofy, introspective peeps with an HD TV and lots of beer. Cute girls who love sports are always a plus. The kind of people that stop by unannounced to take you with them for ice cream at Christina's in Cambridge or pet your head until you fall asleep... just cuz.

People who can appreciate a good day of 'Peace, Love and Pie'.
