Well, what the heck, since all the cool kids are doin' it, I might as well tag along:

Name: Eric

Age: 25

Sex: Dude

Birthplace: Hartford, CT

Hometown: Beautiful Saint Petersburg, Florida. Just across the bay from Tampa. Come visit. It's the sunshine capital of the US.

Nationality: I'm adopted, so I don't know what I REALLY am, but my parents are Italian, Polish and Lithuanian.

Height: 5' 9"

Weight: 190 (Overweight, but my girlfriend is motivating me to lose that, hopefully)

Hair Color: Black, with premature grey. Also, it grows faster than any hair I've ever seen. Ask my friends, it's bizarre. It's always too long because I'd go broke trying to keep it short like I'd like.

Eye Color: Greenish brownish meh.

Mode of Transportation: 2005 Jeep Liberty Limited in Patriot Blue (My third Jeep, they're my other passion besides hockey. Only vehicle I'd ever drive)

Job: Beer Swillin' Hockey Nut.

Favorite Player to hate: Iginla (Vinny got him good though!), Garnet Exelby

College Attended/Attending: Florida State University, Home of the Seminoles, but sadly no hockey.

Video Game Systems Owned: NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, Sega Nomad, Xbox, Xbox 360 (on the fritz, I think it's about to red ring of death on me), Nintendo Wii, Dell XPS, some I'm forgetting

Favorite Game(s): Call of Duty series, Halo series, NHL 07/08, Guitar Hero series, hopefully soon Rock Band

Music You Listen To: Lots. Everything from the Beach Boys to Phantom Planet. Green Day, Jimmy Buffett and Reel Big Fish are 3 that come to mind quickly as favorites. I'd love to go into more detail if anyone cared. Coincidentally, every year since I first got season tickets, I make what's called the "hockey cd" to listen to on the ride to the Forum. It always stars with a punk/ska cover of "O Canada" and is designed to get one in the hockey mood. I don't know why I say this here but there ya go.

Favorite Movie (s): Miracle, Ghostbusters, Cloverfield, Transformers, The Last Starfighter, Spaceballs, Air Force 1, Star Wars and Star Trek Series, The Rock, Con Air, Fire in the Sky

Favorite Food: Italian Anything.
