About Me

Here's an online representation of me, brought to you by Rupert Murdoch and Fox. These networking websites are a strange breed as people are reduced from humans to "profiles". I am going to get wordy here and I'm not going to apologize for that, because that's me. Deal with it.

I don't feel any differently or older than when I was 16... Life's still a series of daily awkward situations, laughing fits and practical jokes... I'm just a bit more confident now and I write more interesting and thoughtful blogs than I used to. I'll wake up some day in October this year and I'll be twenty-five, with a hell of a hangover and some demented sense of pride.

I place a lot of pride in my friends. I strive to surround myself with good people with good hearts and I'll keep you at arms length if I suspect that you're questionable in your motives. That said, I'm actually pretty easy-going and will talk to just about anybody.

My Interests

bikes, blogs, coffee shops, music piracy, stencils, guerrilla art, vinyl, beer, buttons, knives, bats and new tats

I'd like to meet:

People with a whole lot of heart... And this guy...
.

This is going to autoplay music at you and I hope it gets you in trouble at work.

Music:

insert excessively long list of punk and indie rock bands you probably hate, or don't know, or liked better 5 years ago before that one album.

Punk rock is and always will be my audio home sweet home, but I also dig on some folk, hip-hop, jazz, soul, techno, industrial and once in a great while some metal.

Movies:

Fight Club, American Beauty, V for Vendetta, Children of Men, Into the Wild, Coffee & Cigarettes, Grosse Pointe Blank, High Fidelity, Do You Remember?, Waiting, Wayne's World, Wristcutters: A Love Story, This Film Is Not Yet Rated, Zeitgeist

Television:

...is a terrible way to waste your evening when there's whiskey and dancing to be had.

Books:

Palahniuk, Rollins, Huxley, Orwell, Kerouac, Klosterman and so on and so forth...

Heroes:

Pirates and bank robbers, not lawyers or CEOs
Stock brokers killed your heroes.
