Hello!
My name is Patrick Ian Onesko. I was born on July 5th, 1989 in the same hospital as Ken Griffey Jr.
I broke my leg when I was 3. It got caught in the spokes of a bicycle when I was riding on the back with brother. I broke my nose when I was 8 when my bike hit a rock and I flung off the front.
My mom is an attendance administrator at Verizon. My dad delivers fruit and vegetables for a local farm and is also involved with local politics. We're both Masons. I also have two brothers - one is 24 and the other is 29. I'm close with my whole family.
I always had good grades throughout school - I didn't get a B until my Sophomore year in HS. I ended up graduating with a 3.8 GPA (unweighted) and I'm now a Sophomore at Washington and Jefferson College (in Washington, PA). My 24 year old brother also graduated from the same school. It's a small, private liberal arts college. I'm double-majoring in History and Political Science and I plan on going to law school. I'll either go to law school in Pitt or Washington D.C. - my ideal choice being Georgetown.
I'm a history nerd. I've been a volunteer for the Jamestown/Yorktown Foundation since I was in seventh grade. And yes, I've done reenacting before.
I'm also a video game nerd. I own an inordinate amount of video games and play far to often. I also love Scrubs - it's my favorite TV show ever. I'm actually watching it right now.
I was a pretty good football player. Played part of my Freshman here year but I quit. I'm one of those guys that's good at a bunch of sports but great at none. I'm a good basketball player, good hockey player, good tennis player, absolutely pathetic baseball player (really, truly awful), and I'm becoming a pretty decent golfer.
I coach a kids basketball team every winter (5th through 8th graders). It's fun - the league is pretty competitive and the kids are pretty cool.
I actually am really good with people in real life - not quite how I am on here, haha. I am, however, really sarcastic in real life.
I live in what I think is the second poorest county in the state of Pennsylvania.
I have two dogs (Max, a black lab, and Minnie, a beagle) and two cats. The cats names are Brother and Sister (creative).
I haven't missed a Steelers home game since the 2004 season (I missed the Eagles game). They're my grandma's season tickets. I'm also a devout Penguins, Pirates, and Panthers fan. I've also always been a Wizards fan (for the obvious reason of not having a Pittsburgh NBA team). I am really passionate about sports and get really depressed when any of my favorite teams lose.
I've been all over Western Europe. I'm planning on going to Moscow or Germany with school.
Speaking of my grandma, she is one of my best friends. She comes down to school just about every week and we go to lunch. I talk to her all the time. My other grandma (on my dad's side) is cool as hell also, but I don't get to talk to or see her as much.
I've met Mario Lemieux, Jack Ham, Jerome Bettis, Franco Harris, played against Terrelle Pryor twice, Gilbert Arenas, and a few other fairly famous people.
I plan on applying for an internship with the Penguins this spring. I'm hoping like hell that I can get it - it'd be a dream for me. It's unpaid, but I don't care. It'd involve player relations which would be absolutely awesome.
I don't know what else to tell ya'.
