Occupation: I work at an architecture firm here on long island. I have a drafting degree from a school on LI called Island Drafting & Technical Institute. I decided to go back to school at NYIT Old Westbury campus for a 5 year Architecture degree, hopefully get my license sometime in the future. Also with a family history in the FDNY, i have aspirations to be a Fireman as well. Architecture is such a nice backup plan haha.

I do triathlons every summer. This summer i will be doing the TOBAY Triathlon up in oyster bay, and i will also be doing a triathlon out in the hamptons on 9/11. Will be making up a t-shirt in memory of the 343 fireman that had passed on that day.
Misc: My dad has had season tickets in section 425 since the year before the Rangers won the cup. I've had an encounter with Eddie Olcyzk the year the Rangers won the cup that was very very cool. Basic story was he was out with a thumb injury towards the end of that season. the rangers went on to win the cup, after they come back from the lockout my dad took me to a game. we were standing behind the benches watching warmups and eddie o was stretching out. he looked up into the crowd, looked down, looked back up, bent down picked up a puck. pointed me out of the crowd, my dad pointed down at me and eddie o shook his head yes. he then proceeded to toss up a puck to my dad. dont know if it was coincidence or he actually did recognize me. but that was really cool
Age: 18
Occupation: Student at Columbia SEAS. Studying applied math and financial economics
Music: Classical Rock. Love me some Beatles, Grateful Dead, Stones, etc.
Food: Pizza, Soups, dishes revolving around chicken. I'm a pretty picky eater so I make a lot of my food myself (and I'm a pretty darn good cook).
Interests: Well, the rangers. I don't really have much to do over the summer. Next summer, I'm interning at DE Shaw. This summer... just sitting around. School year is taken up by studying, clubs, girlfriend and hockey haha.
Misc:
There's a lot here, I was bored and added a few things:
Age: 24. Grew up in rural NJ (yes it exists), went to college in Boston, and now live in MN for work.
Why/How Rangers?: Ranger fan since birth, but '94 got me hooked (I was only 7, but it had a huge impact on me). Started watching every game religiously around 1998 (perfect timing) and continued to do so even amid the “dark ages”. I vividly remember arguing with a friend in 2000 that Mike York was the next great Ranger.
Occupation: I moved to MN to work as a Financial Analyst for a huge company. Yes, the weather is that bad but nothing beats a long Saturday of pond hockey or a Summer weekend up North.
Music: Music taste is all over the board. I typically consider Incubus my favorite band (late 90s- early 00s teen; seen them live 11 times) but since have gotten into a diverse array of bands: My Morning Jacket, Talking Heads, Motley Crue, The Black Keys, Hall & Oats, Fleet Foxes, Cut Copy, Zeppelin, Phish, Wale, MGMT and even a little country.
Food: Ribs, a good steak, Italian. REALLY miss NY pizza, don't take it for granted!
TV/Movies:
-TV = Dexter, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (it's going downhill though), Sons of Anarchy, Band of Brothers (if that counts).
-Movies = Huuuuuge fan of ridiculous 80s/90s action flicks. Arnold, Van Damme, Stallone, etc. Favorites include Road House, Demolition Man, Commando, Point Break, Tango and Cash, Timecop, The Running Man...I could go on for days. I also love those ridiculous movies on the Syfy channel like Sharktopus, Dinoshark, Boa vs. Python, Mega Piranha, etc.
Car: No car but just bought a 2011 Harley Davidson Superlow. Have not told my Mom yet, she is going to have a heart attack.
Interests/Misc:
-Diehard Giants fan, have attended at least one game a year since I was 8.
-Played club hockey in college (stay at home blue-collar dman) and am in two leagues out here. But working at a desk is really killing my abilities, trying to get back on a full workout program.
-Long walks on the beach.

If your businesses operate counter-cyclically then the economy isn't necessarily to blame. Compare your businesses to Bureau of Economic Analysis industry indexes (ones that are similar to your businesses targeted customers) and that should help you understand where your businesses will go in the future.
they dont, they are actually interrelated businesses. and i need 1 to have the other. one is online based, and one is an actual storefront. last 2 years the online has been kicking ass, but the storefront has been terribad, losing money every month. right now the storefront is producing literally the maximum it can, and the online business has regressed.

"Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."
