Hello, my name is David.

I was born in October 1984. This year, I will turn 22.

I am left-handed. Needless to say, I'm the only left-hander in my family, though I do have a few aunts and uncles (and cousins) that are left-handed.

I've lived in Mesa, Arizona my whole life. (except a few years after I was born. I was born in Mesa, but my family was living in Payson at the time.) Despite the hot weather in summertime, I've been very happy here.

I am also a major Suns fan. (scroll down to see the statistics for Round 1 vs. the Lakers.)

I am a very picky eater. Whenever we eat something new at home, I can often tell by looking at it or smelling it to know if I'll like it or not.

My favorite foods include
1. hamburgers
2. baked potatoes
3. cheese crisp
4. beef stroganoff

Foods I DON'T like include pizza, lasagna, chicken tortilla cassrole, and spaghetti. I hate all foods that have tomato sauce on it.

I also dislike nuts in anything I eat. Though I do like pistachios, cashews, and salted peanuts, but I'd only eat them alone, with no accessaries, with a little salt.

My favorite author is Roald Dahl, and some of my favorite books by him are:
1. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
2. Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
3. James and the Giant Peach
4. Matilda
5. The Twits

I've visted over half of the states in the U.S., and I've never left the U.S., except when I went to Niagra Falls several years ago; and I spent a few hours in Mexico with some extended family members in December of 2000.

Other than that, I've lived here my whole life, and in the same house since September of 1985.

Here are my top thirty favorite movies, in the order given:

(The italiacs indicate all six Pixar films)

Hercules
Holes

Almost any animated Disney movie.
(none of the girly movies, a.k.a. Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast , "geek", etc.)
I dislike both Shrek movies.

I don't watch R rated movies. They're sick.

My favorite TV shows include:

1. The Andy Griffith Show
2. Full House
3. Gilligan's Island
4. The Dick Van Dyke Show
5. Home Improvement
6. Family Matters

I'm pretty good at basketball; but the most points I ever made in a games was 7 points. (one three, and two lucky lay-ups.)

I also like baseball. I'm still amazed that the Diamondbacks won the World Series in 2001.

GO SUNS!

My hobbies include reading, swimming, and playing basketball. My scoring average in basketball is 2.4 points in about 50 games. Not all of them were real games.

I'm one of few people who dislike football, though I did pay attention to this year's Superbowl, paricularly because, when I was very young, I owned Pittsburgh Steelers' pajamas.

In political issues, I'd just like to say that EVERY Democrat and liberal in this country is a no-good-double-michief-maker who hates freedom. They love to raise taxes, and they love to say publicly that they hate Republicans. (a.k.a. Howard Mean or Howard Dean, if you prefer, but I am dubbing him "Howard Mean.)

Here's a link to one of my favorite websites: hannity.com

Direct quote from Howard Mean: "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for."

Here's another one: "The idea that the U.S. is going to win the war on terror is just plain wrong." (12/5/05, The Associated Press. )

If that's not an American-hater, I don't know what is.
