"I've had to much to think"

About Me

Hi! My name is Tim and I'm 23 years old. I just graduated from the university of Western Ontario and am taking a break for a bit before going back to school. I currently live in Pickering Ontario which is not the most exciting place in the world but I'm lucky to have lots of good friends here that make it bearable :)

My Interests

I love music more than anything! I enjoy playing guitar and writing my own songs. I also like keeping active, working out and playing all sports. I especially like Beach Volley Ball. i also love going to concerts whenever I can.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone. I like everyone so don't be shy.

Music:

Well... this may take a while! I am a lover of all types of music and i mean it... even country (Johnny Cash rules). My favorite type of music is ska. I don't know what it is about a simple up stroke that touches my soul but it does. Favorite Ska Bands: Rx Bandits, Big D and the Kids Table Mad Caddies, The Slackers, Sublime and Ill Scarlet. I also like punk bands like Strike Anywhere, Rise Against, Rancid, Flogging Molly, Bayside, Goldfinger and many more. As far as hip hop goes I tend to like the older stuff like Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Gangstarr and Pharcyde. Recently though I like Damien Marley, Blackalicious, Common, Talib and of course The Roots. Classic Rock never gets old. The best band ever is obviously Led Zepplin! Beatles are a close second followed by Jimmy Hendrix. My favorite bands since I was a kid are the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Weezer.

Movies:

I love almost all movies but I would have to say my favorite movie is Donnie Darko. Other Favorites are Almost Famous, High Fidelity and Fight Club. I like alot of funny movies like Old School, Billy Madison, Road Trip, Office Space and Wedding Crashers. My favorite filmakers include Wes Anderson, Kevin Smith and Christopher Nolan. Favorite Actors would be Ed Norton, Jack Nicolson, Clive Owen and Philip Symore Hoffman. My favorite Actress and future wife is Kate Hudson.

Television:

Don't watch much television but I love Lost and Heroes. TV seems to cancel everything that's good like Undeclared and Arrested Development. Aside from that I guess I like the standard shows like Simpsons (who doesn't) Family Guy and Friends.

Books:

My Favorite author at the moment is Nick Hornby (Aside from How to Be Good). I also like American Psycho, Liviathan, The Adventures of Kaviler and Clay and House of Leaves.

Music is Literally Comercialized

Ok, tonight I saw something that was deeply distressing to me for some reason. Common, one of the most soulful hip hop artists (and one of my favorite) was in a GAP commercial. What the hell is with t...
