I am on a continual quest for self-betterment. Life is a journey, not a destination. I like making positive change in my life and that witnessing the effect it has on others.

 I have my dream job. I work for a large "dot com". For the first time in my life, my job doesn't seem like work. I do what I do best, the company's philophies are in line with my own and I have the freedom that most only dream about. Not to rub it in but my job is as perfect as a job can be.

 Flamingos.

 I like what the represent...sun, warmth, vacation, festivity and a laid back attitude. Plus, they make great lawn ornaments.

 Dodger, my rat terrier.

 He is super cool, very expressive, and he communicates well...there is never any doubt what he is thinking. He is the perfect pet and melds well with the family.

 Pork Chops.

 I love pork chops and love to eat them as many different ways as possible.

 Ralph Stetson (My boss), Liz (His Girlfriend), My wife, Tony Stewart (NASCAR Driver), and Liv Tyler.

 Ralph and Liz are two of my favorite people on the planet, next to my wife. Without them, a dinner party could not be classified as fantasy. Tony Stewart is by far the best driver in motor sports. You can put him in any car, NASCAR, F-1 or go-carts and he will win. I love people that "race to win". Liv Tyler is beautiful, enigmatic, intelligent and, I imagine, much more profound than your average Hollywood superstar. Having her at the table would balance Tony's personality. The rest of us would be there for the sheer enjoyment of watching two entirely different people interact with mere mortals.

 The choices are endless and hard to prioritize. I guess I would choose Australia.

 Godfather's...Shrimp and Sausage

 Beer or Vodka

 Skinny Latte with a shot of Sugar-Free Hazelnut flavor syrup.

 This is a difficult question because I would like to think I would ask for something altruistic like world peace, an end to hunger and homelessness and cures for all disease. On the other hand, if I wished for billions of dollars, I could kill two birds with one stone...that is, donate money to the causes I am passionate about and fulfill my materialistic desires. I wish I wasn't so shallow that the choice would be simple. However, the thought of owning a Bugatti Veyron, a villa in Italy and a private jet to fly anywhere in the world I want to go at any given time would probably override the more worthwhile uses of three wishes. That being said, I hope I am never given three wishes so that I do not have to make a decision of this magnitude.

 Men Without Hats, Collection; The Police, Synchronicity; U2, Joshua Tree

 Wave a magic wand and make everyone more friendly and neighborly. I like the idea that everyone in a neighborhood should know who they are living next to and be available when needed. I like the concept of neighborhood pic-nics and parties. It seems as though everyone focuses on what is different between them and their neighbors as opposed to what is similar. I guess that can be said about most human interactions.

 I prefer sunrises. The day I got married, my wife and I lived on an Island off the coast of Maine. We went to the back side of the Island and watched the sun rise. It was the beginning of what has become a phenomenal life.

 Howard Roark from Fountainhead

 Howard took the path less travled...in fact, he blazed his own and became successful despite everyone's desire to see him fail. He stuck to his principles and beleived that just because the masses say it is so doesn't necessarily make it so. Very few people have the courage to lead a life without wavering from their principles. It is so much easier to follow the masses even though, like lemmings, they may be leaping of a cliff to their death. Howard Roark had this courage.
