It's-a me, Mario!

About Me


I grew up in Utah, but yet I am not mormon. Isn't that insane? Yep, I personally think so. And that covers a huge chunk of the book of the story of being raised in Utah. Just use your imagination. If you've ever met me, you'd know what it does to people. It's traumatic! I guess if you've ever been around a lot of mormons, you would know better.
If you really want to know more about me, then you should obviously hang out with me. You're not going to know who I am no matter how many words I write. Impossible.

But hey, if you buy me a beer, I'll buy you three.
Oh, and people will probably tell you I'm crazy and you should know that they're probably right.
Oh, and I've been to China and I speak their language, so beware. That, and I'm apparently Asian. So you're screwed. Don't ask questions.

In loving memory.

My Interests

I dig music, for sure. As one of the ipod generation, I like a lot of different genres.
Computers; what the hell would we do without 'em?
I love the wild adventures, especially when entailing anything I've never tried. It's all about spontanaeity, spunk, and mixing things up a bit.
My interests, more particularly, lie in proving to the world that I'm absolutely insane without anybody knowing why.

I'd like to meet:

Bob Dole.

Ross Perot.

Bob Ross.

Mister Rogers.

Jesus.

Obviously. Duh.

Music:


Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Grateful Dead...I definitely groove some funk with the folky stuff. There's nothing quite like throwing on a bit of the above listed, kicking back, and sittin' easy.
Like I said before, though, I really do like a lot of music. I generally, however, can't stand 'new-style' country, rap/hip-hop, and anything else that hurts my ears. Just know that I like to jam.

Movies:

There are so many movies that are noteworthy, and to name a few from a few different genres that I've liked over the years:
Braveheart
Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore
Garden State
The Shining
Arlington Road
What Dreams May Come
Princess Mononoke
The Island
Lord of the Rings
Star Wars
....umm, yeah....I'm a big nerd, but there are many more that I've liked; I'm always down with a good movie. I particularly like the ones that make you think.

Television:


Lost rocks. Family guy is pretty damn funny. So is Futurama and The Simpsons. Oh and Venture Bros. is a hootinani in a short skirt kind of awesome. I?Adult Swim. Can't forget Scrubs. Oh, and what of the sweet wonderfulness that is King of the Hill? Seinfeld, Aqua Teen...these are all things I have on my external.
I've noticed I like animated shows a lot more. I don't know why, but I think it has something to do with satire. That, or normal shows just suck. I can't seem to figure it out.

Books:

I don't get to read a whole lot, but from what I've read: Really young, Terror at the Zoo and Choose Your Own Adventure books. When I was a bit older, Bridge to Terebithia. When I was a little older: Prydain Chronicles. After that, The Hobbit. Then, of course, the Lord of the Rings. Then Princess Bride. Then The Dark Tower Series. Then The Da Vinci Code. Then Angels and Demons. That's pretty much all I can think of. Reading's cool, but it's always hard to get started. Maybe if there were a book about pirates...or Bob Ross...or, on that note, Ross Perot.

Heroes:



Can you see the influences of the heroes in my life?
