If you playing White, I suggest Danish Gambit. It's quite aggressive, but you must beware when you're facing an opponent with solid defense. Or you could try the popular Ruy Lopez... Meanwhile, while playing Black, you may want to try Petrov Defense... Or the Sicilian Dragon...
Any suggestions?

Gambits! The wild Danish is a good suggestion. How about the King's gambit while your at it?
I second... err... third the Danish Gambit! It's brutal, fairly sound, and you get to sacrifice two whole pawns in your first few moves. 
Sac's? Did somebody say sacs? If sacs are what you want then I suggest the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit baby!
Thank you guys for the challenging suggestions! Danish Gambit sounds great and so are the rest. Will start to study them comprehensively.

There are a few problems with this advice. First, the Danish Gambit is not a particularly aggressive opening; in fact, it is often considered a gambiteer's opening because White is sacrificing material (a pawn) for the chance to gain an advantage in position. Second, the Ruy Lopez is not particularly popular at high levels of chess; in fact, it has been declining in popularity for the last few decades. Third, the Petrov Defense is not particularly well-suited to beginners; it is a fairly esoteric opening that requires a good deal of knowledge to play well. Finally, the Sicilian Dragon is a very aggressive and complicated opening that is not recommended for beginners.

Are you insane?

"the Petrov Defense is not particularly well-suited to beginners" ++ This can be argued.
"the Sicilian Dragon is a very aggressive and complicated opening that is not recommended for beginners." ++ Agreed
