About Me


About Me

My name's Jeff, though I also go by JeffroSuperfly, JeffroSuperstar, Jeffy (women only), Monkey-B, Monkeyhead or Piggy-Backing Shovel Monkey. I'm a 28 year-old semi-recent ex-graduate student who attended Wayne State University for a master's degree in Library and Information Science. I received my BA from Western Michigan University with a major in English (emphasis on creative writing) and a minor in Psychology.


I'm a little crazy, mostly happy worrier who gives a laid back outward appearance. In addition to writing stories and plays (and occasionally poetry—though not often), I also play guitar, piano, bass, clarinet, and was once in honors choir. How well I do all of those things are still open to debate!

I like to read, and in the last two months I’ve finished 5 different books. No, I’m not bragging…I’ve just found myself with too much time on my hands as of late. I also love movies / DVD's, especially horror movies of which I have a large collection. I’m easy to please and have a fun time doing just about anything with the right company. I’m extremely devoted to my mother, twin brother and my friends, and if I AM worrying you can bet it’s about one of them!

I like thrill rides. I'm ticklish. I love conversation and am always prattling on about something, though I’m great at listening and usually have some pretty good advice. Now if I could only practice what I preach!

I have a very mild case of Cerebral Palsy (mild meaning that it’s only affected my balance to a small extent). I know a lot of people who know someone with CP, and trust me: I’m not your typical case! If you ask me it's for the best: at least I didn't turn into one of those jockish guys who seem to cheat on their girlfriends all the time! It's also shaped me into who I am today, and that's someone I'm happy to see looking back in the mirror each morning.

My biggest pet peeves are liars or those who only look out for them self, so if you're one of those people, please don't request to be my friend! Still want more about me? Guess you'll just have to write or add me.

My Interests

Welcome to Year Zero.

I'd like to meet:



Your Love Style is Agape
You are a caring, kind, and selfless partner.
Unsurprisingly, your love style is the most rare.
You are willing to sacrfice your world for your sweetie. Except it doesn't really feel like sacrifice to you.
For you, nothing feels better than giving to the one you love. What's Your Love Style?

You Are 45% Normal
While some of your behavior is quite normal...
Other things you do are downright strange
You've got a little of your freak going on
But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself How Normal Are You?


I'm not sure WHAT I said to get this test result...

How evil are you?

Music:

Musical Taste!

I like ANYTHING, though don't listen to much rap, R&B or really twangy country, so if that's your taste you'll have to educate me on what's good! Since I can play some instruments, I guess I'm just a little more impressed when somebody can pick up a guitar and show me how lousy I really am ;)

What I really enjoy is straight up rock music (not into metal so much any more--I guess I'm getting soft!)...my favorite new band at the moment is Silvertide, but I also like Guns N' Roses, Alice In Chains, U2 (before and after their breif electronic phase), Buckcherry, Bon Jovi, Jackie Blue (she's on MySpace!), Matchbox 20, and the mix CDs I made for Dana when we have a road trip sing along!

I'm also a huge fan of anything 70's. Disco, funk, classic rock...it's all good. Some of my favorites are Stevie Wonder, KC and the Sunshine Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, WAR, Wild Cherry, Average White Band, Steve Miller and The Eagles.

Movies:


Favorite Flix!

If you really want to know what kinds of films I'm interested in, click HERE .

Feeling too lazy to leave MySpace? I'm really into horror and B-movies, but offhand I enjoyed the new Hills Have Eyes, Braveheart, The Crow, Gone With the Wind, The Lord of the Rings (Trilogy), Love and Basketball, The Boondock Saints, Scarface, Million Dollar Baby, Team America: World Police, Any Batman movie except "Batman and Robin," the entire Nightmare on Elm Street Series, The entire Friday the 13th Series, See No Evil, almost anything by Troma, Donnie Darko, Sin City, The Goonies are my favorites! OK that sounds ridiculous, because that's a ton of movies, but you don't want me to lie, right?


Television:


The Boob Tube

Currently I like "24", "Prison Break," "Veronica Mars," "CSI: Miami", "Family Guy" and "Lost." Sounds like a lot of TV, but as for how often I SEE them all, that's a different story. I guess I'll need a Tivo eventually!

If were talking older shows: Buffy, Angel, Futureama (NEW EPISODES NEXT YEAR!), Married With Children, and Stripperella...I'm sorry, but it's just so juvenile it's funny!


Books:


Reading...It's Not Just for Dorks!

I like reading anything by F. Paul Wilson. Clive Barker's "The Thief of Always is my favorite book, and I also enjoy Stephen King and Dean Koontz (selectively). I also enjoy anything with zombies in it (that goes for movies as well).

While we're talking books, "My Happy Life" was GREAT and really, REALLY made me think...but much like "Monster's Ball" was for movies, it's probably the most depressing thing you'll ever read...and yet somehow uplifting.



Heroes:

Heros, Eh?

Everybody who knows me knows that my mom is the biggest hero in my life and it's sad that she can't be considered for sainthood! She's not only helped me out on more occasions that I can recall, but is always looking out for my friends as well.

Some of my friends might scoff when I say this, but I suppose I’d have to pick God / Jesus as my second hero. I’m not a very actively religious person as far as church goes, but I’ve been going through a very rough time emotionally as of late and wishes and superstition just haven’t been cutting it. Prayer is working out really well for me, and I’m really starting to see the value in it. It hasn’t helped with any of those wishes, but it has helped me be at peace with myself and I find myself falling asleep a lot faster and not worrying about my future.I should mention that being the comedian I am I have been known to joke every now and then when it comes to religion, but I consider it acceptable and think that God understands as long as I’m just poking fun and not mocking Him / it religion).
