All about me

I was born in Omaha in 1997 and grew up here. In my childhood, I went to Saint Pius X elementary school. My family owns a cabin on a lake roughly 45 minutes away from Omaha in Cedar Creek. When I was younger we would spend the weekends out at the cabin, but for the past year or so we’ve been essentially living out there full time. I love the lake, for swimming and waterskiing and boating. Several years back my dad and I built a waterslide using a lot of lumber from Menards and kitchen linoleum. Its length exceeds 150 feet and you can get some pretty serious speed on it. When it’s really cold in the winter like it is presently, the lake freezes over and the ice can get pretty thick. That’s when the waterslide transforms into a luge track for sledding on. A lot of people know that I’m pretty knowledgeable about football, particularly college. What people don’t know is that when I was a kid, I didn’t even like football. I never watched it or understood the rules, much to the dismay of my football-loving dad. One day, my dad rented Madden Football 2004 for GameCube from Blockbuster, and when I first played it, I couldn’t get enough. I played hours as the Seattle Seahawks, who would soon become my favorite team. Eventually, I began to watch more football on Saturdays and Sundays and learned the basic rules, and my dad and I would watch college football and he’d point out some of the subtler and less common rules. My focus shifted from professional to collegiate football, and these days I watch, probably unhealthy, amounts of college football each weekend. I guess that's pretty much it.
