Profile for SCHMENDEL			Click here to make or adjust profile

Height:	Weight: lbs.	Alumni Status: '03
Location:		Favorite Baseball Team: Cincinnati Redlegs
Natural Enemies: Meat Chicken, Chicago Cubs

Athletic Ability:	Love to play, but suck. My post HS addition of size makes me a respectable basketball player. My lack of play recently has me in the 'extremely rusty' category, though.

Sartorial Style:

Favorite Beverage and Consumption Freq:	Usually Beer. Often just something cheap, but I like variety. Caffrey's my all time favorite. SoCo on the rocks is good stuff, too. Drink 2 or 3 times a week. Heavily 1 or 2. And I mean heavily.

Political Philosophy:	Progressive. My number one pet peeve in the world is people voting based on one issue. This tends to be abortion, which I'm strongly against, but voting for bad politicians (that aren't going to do anything about abortion anyway) simply because they are pro-choice is wrong.

Religious Philosophy:	I'm not always happy about what's going on with the Catholic Church, but I'm in my almost seat every Sunday and for the most part I walk the walk.

Musical Favorites:	Just about anything, so long as it's good. Good doesn't necessarily mean popular, and popular doesn't necessarily mean good. I think my #1 opinion here is that mine is the only one that matters to me. Too often music gets dismissed as crap just because it's on the radio. Too often good music onthe radio gets dismissed as crap because it's over played. (For the record, I usually lean towards pop-rock or not so twangy country)

Favorite Quote from an ND Coach:	I'm here to win football games for the University of Notre Dame. Not some of our games, and not most of our games; I'm here to win ALL of our games. Every doggone one of them! -Holtz, February 1988

Miscellaneous Data:	Well, I was born in a small town And I live in a small town Prob'ly die in a small town Oh, those small communities All my friends are so small town My parents live in the same small town My job is so small town Provides little opportunity Educated in a small town Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town Used to daydream in that small town Another boring romantic that's me I've seen it all in a small town Had myself a ball in a small town Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town Now she's small town just like me No, I cannot forget where it is that I come from I cannot forget the people who love me Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town And people let me be just what I want to be Got nothing against a big town Still hayseed enough to say Look who's in the big town But my bed is in a small town Well, I was born in a small town And I can breathe in a small town Gonna die in this small town And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me ... ================== pretty much all true except the LA doll, but there's still time...
