About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

i can't say i'm remotely fascinating...i'm a banker, i fix computers at night, i occasionally attend community college. i could tell you that i moonlight as a stunt double, or i could claim that i really don't enjoy IKEA or grocery shopping with my wife, but we all know you wouldn't buy it, because i'm a terrible liar. i work at First State Bank in Denton as a teller and new accounts rep. it's great job stability and hours are great. i work a couple nights a week for the Geek Squad. pretty cool stuff. i couldn't tell you what i plan on doing with my life. i miss playing music and the thrill of being on a stage. i'm waiting for the opportunity to revisit that with the right band and the right chemistry. i'm deeply in love with music. we've been together for close to 10 years, share nearly 80 beautiful gigabytes worth of songs and we're doin' just fine. i'm ridiculously accurate at movie & pop culture trivia. if 'Scene It' scored chicks, i would have game. i am a self-admitted show junkie. i'm hopelessly devoted to Jimmy Eat World. at times i talk of nothing but sports. i have a not so private obsession with Dallas Mavericks. i listen to talk radio frequently(660 KSKY, what?). i love politics, and am a proud republican...sometimes. i am married to the love of my life, Janelle. she humors me frequently and is the only person who knows i'm not really emo. we go shopping together, and i love it. while i frequently have to convince her that i am neither gay nor a woman, we have an incredible relationship, and i cherish it. i have recently rediscovered my passion for the theatre. i just finished an amazing run of THE LARAMIE PROJECT and can't wait to do more.

My Interests

writing, journalism, traveling, utah mormons, music, deep ellum, playstation, basketball, the great outdoors, Pete's last name (BATTARANG!!!), local music, acting, reading, philosophy, fantasy football, politics and talk radio.

I'd like to meet:

Daniel Day-Lewis. He's the greatest actor of our generation. If you don't believe me, watch IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER. If you still believe me, watch MY LEFT FOOT. If you still don't believe me, watch GANGS OF NEW YORK. If you still don't believe me, watch LAST OF THE MOHICANS. If you still don't believe me, find the nearest cliff & jump!
