Bio:



My Name is Craig. I'm 26.

Jackson, New Jersey native. 60,000 people here and nothing to do. Go figure!

I'm single, but not necessarily looking. I'm finally satisfied with the direction of my life, and it involves getting my career fully squared away first, so I'm able to give a woman the time and attention she deserves.

I just graduated from a technical school in North Brunswick, NJ called:


I'm an IT Specialist, although just starting now in the industry. I am a County Worker, in the technology department of:


I have a few IT Certifications and an Associate's in Computer Science as well but let's be honest here -- who cares about that crap? ;)

My life right now is finally on the track I've always been looking to get it on, and for now my priorities are still focused on my career. When I get to hang out with friends, it's usually spent at the mall or down the shore, whether it's catching a movie or catching a glimpse of the ocean. I've never been a big drinker, so the chance of hearing about me at a bar is near-zero!

I'm a fanatic of the NHL -- Hockey is a passion of mine, and the Devils are my boys. I'm learning to inline skate so I can eventually get back into playing the sport I love. It's a work in progress.

My Motto: You Are Never As Powerless As You Think You Are.
We make our own luck in life.
Everyone sometimes gets victimized, but the worst thing you can do is live life as a victim. Take control of the wheel, and suddenly you're going where you want to go.

I learned this the hard way. I've lost 137 pounds since May of 2004.
My Current Before-and-After photo.

I love photography, but it's just a hobby. I'm better with scenery.



I love to go to parks in-state and take photos, but my goal is currently to take a trip to various New Jersey downtown areas at least once per month to snap photos. Now that my "real life" began and time's been at a premium, it's been tough to get out -- but my camera is usually with me no matter where I go.

A Sample of the Music I Listen To:



Mostly rock and alternative, but I appreciate all music. Even some country!

I Use This Journal To Talk About:
  • My Weight, because even after losing 140+ pounds, I have struggles like everyone else.
  • My Career, because as the newest area of my life, a lot of it is still new to me.
  • My Photography, because nothing should get in the way of the appreciation of the world.
  • Various Other Potpourri

    I love my two dogs. I'll take them over the average human any day. You dog lovers know what I mean!

    I have a somewhat dry, sarcastic sense of humor. If you're not into sarcasm, I promise to be careful, but you might not like me.

    I am extremely loyal to my friends -- and loyalty means being able to tell a true friend things he or she needs to hear, even if they don't want to hear it. My listening skills have earned me a lot of female friends. ;)

    I enjoy reading and commenting on journals, especially those with viewpoints different than mine. My best friend is a few years older than me, married with children, lives 2000 miles away and we're almost total opposites -- yet we mesh together perfectly.

    You can learn a lot about the world from someone who's different than you are.


    I've learned there is a very low male-to-female LJ user ratio out here. Hopefully I can make up for a few of the others. ;)

    A few more photos of myself are on my MySpace. But, If That Truly Matters To You Before You Add Me, Then We Probably Will Not Get Along.
