About Me

Well, I'm in grad-school. I still don't know what I want to be when I "grow up," but if you have any ideas.....

My Interests

I like learning minimal amounts of information about pretty much anything. I dig a good laugh, a hearty chuckle, and the occasional snorter.

Music:

Queen, Tool, NIN, The Cult, Deftones, Morphine, Tori Amos, Pink Floyd, Faith No More, Led Zeppelin, A Perfect Circle, Radiohead, Flogging Molly, Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, System of a Down, Type O Negative, Clutch, Dog Fashion Disco, Peeping Tom, Kings of Leon, Lou Reed, Al Green, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe, Hillbilly Casino (you were totally right, Mike!), Hank Williams Jr., Danzig, Misfits, Parliament Funkadelic, White Zombie, White Stripes, Motorhead, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Buckcherry (but not the second album), Dropkick Murphys, Legendary Shack Shakers, Modest Mouse, OutKast, Iggy Pop, Tomahawk(Mit Gas is fucking great, but Anonymous is my favorite by far!), Reverend Horton Heat, Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine, Melvins, Puscifer, Independents, ....Tim Dudley and the Haint (Check out their space!),.....um..... I've seen some shows since moving to the Nashville area.... Spider Virus, Circle Jerks, StuckLucky, Clutch, Flogging Molly, Hillbilly Casino (these guys are SO delicious!!), the Blasters, the Queers, Murphy's Law, Legendary Shack Shakers, and Tub Ring. Opening acts I enjoyed included Street Dogs, Dub Trio, Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, The Carter Administration (Hi, Andy!!), Lower Class Brats, Carry Ons, Murphy's Kids, Marauders, Psycho Devilles, Devil Doll, Murdock, The Hits, the Helltown Howlers, Jakehead, Twistin Tarantulas, 7 Shot Screamers (these guys bring sexxy back!), Koffin Kats, Hot Rods, Fist of the North Star, Curbside Saints....um....

Movies:

Little Miss Sunshine. Indiana Jones and whatever about the crystal skull. It was okay. Walk Hard...penis. Seven Signs. I Am Legend. (i may have to cry a little more over this one later) Beowulf 3D was pleasing enough; there were some slight difference between the movie and the story, and some "wiener moments" in the film (and i aint talking anatomy). Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D...hadn't seen the movie yet in 2D....it was alright....saw a mouse stuck to a glue trap while we were leaving the theater. Pleasant. 30 Days of Night was definitely NOT a disappointment! Watch dem heads roll! I saw the new Halloween. It was good, don't get me wrong, but I still love the original... Just watched "True Romance" for the first time with Harley and Mike (Jer left halfway through). Definitely a fuckin' fave and a half!! Grindhouse rocks ass! 300 was cool. Stranger than Fiction....I really like this movie. I'll watch just about anything, really. Except for Freddy got Fingered....I have no more use for this movie. Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, American Beauty, Way of the Gun, pretty much anything Ah-nold, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, The Professional (Leon), Kingpin, Rocky Horror Picture Show, El Mariachi, Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Frida, John Carpenter's Vampires, 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, House of 1000 Corpses, Devil's Rejects, Beetlejuice, the Big Lebowski (11/27--I watched it again and teared up a bit at the end. you see, i am a big ole softie), the Princess Bride, Willow, Office Space, Dodgeball, Adaptation, Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Waiting,

Television:

I abolutely love Red Foreman. Scrubs, That 70s Show, Seinfeld, and finally have gotten some House on DVD. And I finally got into The Office. I am unfortunately addicted to Friends. I own all 10 seasons and am paying back my karmic debt for teasing Luke so hard for liking the show. I also liked Tenacious D from way back in the day and Mr. Show with Bob and David (I'm STRONG.....like the Hulk!) Oh yeah, Aqua Teen Hunger Force rules all as well. TONIGHT!!! Dead Like Me is a fave, too.

Books:

Stephen King, Tom Wolfe, Chuck Palahniuk, H.P. Lovecraft, David Sedaris .... Calvin and Hobbes. Of Mice and Men, Murder in the Cathedral, Peter Pan, Tuesday, A Clockwork Orange, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Electric Kool-aid Acid Test, Lord of the Flies, 1984, Brave New World, Animal Farm, Metamorphosis, Brain Droppings, Story of O, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hobbit.....

Heroes:

Edith Casteel, a.k.a. Granny. The ultimate best friend. Without her influence growing up, I'd have turned out a much shittier version of me! Daniel McConnell. what can I say? Callie and Tim Dudley. I hope I never accidentally screw them over! ..

Mom

I love my mom. As time goes by, I realize who she is as a person, not just as "my mom."  And she just gets cooler and cooler.
