About Robert »

I'm a Detroit transplant, trapped in the retirement capital of the world. I despise Florida and all of it's sports teams. I learned quickly that Southern Hospitality is just something they talk about on tv. Do not Black Friday Shop in Florida.

Moved to Florida when I was 11. Wanted to leave since I arrived. Met my first and only girlfriend at my first non-summer job. We've been together almost 9 years. We've got a 10 month old, who's taught me so much about life. I don't really know what I want to be when I get older. I'd like to be a lot of things, but all at the same time. I think they should make more hours in the day, especially for me and my ambitions.

I realized the BCS is better than a play-off, and decided it needed to be defended. I'd love your input.

I'd appreciate it if you had the chance.
