Hello Steemit World!
My name is John Krusinski, not the actor, just a normal human.
A little bit about myself:
I'm from Connecticut, USA and I work in construction.
When I'm not at work, my life is consumed by sports, music, & wood working.
I created this page because I love French Onion Soup and was always posting about it on Facebook, and people started suggesting that I make a blog about my experinces, so here I am!
(My Pups, Frankie & Dawson and I. The shirt was from a friend)
I'm a die-hard Boston Sports fan. On average, I attend about 12-15 Red Sox games a season and watch every game on TV. I may be a little obsessed with the Sox, I do have the "B" logo tattooed on my right calf and I plan to ass Fenway Park with the the Citgo Sign, Prudential Building, and Wally in the background. I also love the Bruins and the Pats, but I watch Baseball more religiously. Basketball, I dont care for. When it comes to college sports, I'm an Ohio State Buckeyes fan, I have been since I fell in love with their marching band in middle school and always wanted to attend there so I could play in the band. Also, I've been a fan of WWE/WWF since the early 90's. John Cena is the best, go ahead and argue it. I'm big into running OCRs, mainly Spartan Race. I've been competing in them since 2012 and have run in 24 different Spartan Races so far. Other than watching sports, I enjoy playing any kind and just love being outside at all times, doesn't matter what I'm doing.

Music is another major thing in my life. I can't go a day without listening to music, I'll literally go crazy (not really). I listen to all genres, except rap. I'm very big on classic rock and pop punk. My very first concert was Billy Joel in 2007 and since then I have just non-stop been seeing as many performaces as I can. Right now, my list of shows I've seen is:
Kings of Leon X3
Mumford & Sons X2
Maroon 5
Capital Cities
Fall Out Boy
Blink 182
AWOLNATION
Toby Keith X9
Rascal Flatts X2
Florida Georgia Line
Zac Bround Band
KISS X2
Van Halen
Def Leppard X2
REO Speedwagon X3
Chicago X3
STYX X2
Motley Crue
Blue Oyster Cult
Blues Traveler
Kansas
Guns N Roses
Foreigner
The Marshall Tucker Band
Black Sabbath
Bret Michaels
Foghat
The Spin Doctors
Metallica
Pearl Jam
YES
Journey
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
2 of my top 5 Favorite groups, I've seen- Kings of Leon & Mumford. However, my other 3 favorite groups are either retired or done touring for obvious reasons, and they are RUSH, YellowCard, and Linkin Park. R.I.P.

(KISS & Motley Crue- Hartford, CT in 2013)
Finally, I have a huge passion for wood working, and just being able to be creative. Last week, I found some boards and other random pieces of wood, outside of a warehouse that someone had left by the dumpster. I brought them home, sanded everything down, and made a set of Beer Pong Golf Boards- a new type of Yard Game. This weekend, I plan to make cornhole boards witht he remaining wood because people contacted me about how well the boards came out, that now they want me to make them for them and they will pay me, which is awesome! Also, about 3 years ago, I moved into a house after college and down stairs was a bar that the last tennants build-although it was just really a counter top with legs. So I used that as a frame and built a full bar around it, with 5 shelving units and 2 buit-in mini fridges. It came out great! You give me some pieces of wood, and I'll find anything to make out of it.

(The top picture is the bar when we first moved in and the bottom picture is the bar once it was completed and painted.
All-in-all, I think I have a pretty eventful life. But I must say, what makes it better, is when you have a warm, delicious bowl of French Onion Soup in front of you. Believe it or not, there are some bowls that lack certain qualities and are just not good. (Unfortunately) So, with this Steemit, I will be posting about restaurants I go to and ranking their French Onion Soup, with the same categories each time. If you know of a place in Connecticut or a Nation-Wide chain of a restuarant that has great French Onion Soup, feel free to make a suggestion and I'll try it out!
Thanks!
