And here a few hopeful predictions for what I'll be doing 10 years from now.
Age: 33
Job: Producer either at ESPN or a TV station in a top 10 market
Location: Bristol, Connectict or a top 10 market
Hairstyle: Still spinning, unless male pattern baldness kicks in. If it does, I'm rockin the baldie all day every day.
Family: Married with my own little tribe. Don't want to still be bar hopping.
Contacts/Glasses: Frames all day.
Pets: Something the kids can play with, but my neighbors will fear.
Girlfriend: I'll be married, and I ain't down with having a woman on the side.
Celebrity Crush: Halle might still be up there.
Piercings/Tattoos: I might have a few new tats. I'm done with piercings.
Favorite Artist/Band/Singer: By then all the people out now will be considered old school. So I'm gonna say whatever is considered old school at that point in time.
Home: A bomb ass spot. I'm being vague cause I really don't know.
Accomplishments: Just being a good father and husband is enough for me.
Volunteer Work: Depends on if pursue any post graduate activities
My Ride: I'm gonna need something for the kids and dog, so I'll say some sort of SUV. But I refuse to push a mini-van. That's not sexy.
Drinking: I'll have a taste here and there.

I'm not sure, but did you say "a hook part?" Okay, I just wanted to be clear, so that I could start with, "Umm... wha... I.... I mean... I just don't understand." You know the drill :) And why Bristol, COnnecticut? That's an interesting choice...
