About Me

My flickr photostream

I guess the most important thing to know about me is that i like having a good time without being one of those freak 24/7 party people. I'm mildly nerdy without being socially awkward which most people appreciate :-). I go to the gym fairly regularly and weather permitting I enjoy playing sports. My weekends are spent with my friends, finding new bars & restaraunts or watching movies.
Thanks to a goddess [:-D], i found out that I actually am... Spider-Man Spider-Man 80% Iron Man 75% The Flash 75% Robin 65% Green Lantern 55% Superman 50% Wonder Woman 40% Hulk 35% Catwoman 25% Supergirl 25% Batman 25% You are intelligent, witty,
a bit geeky and have great
power and responsibility.
Discover who you are! Take the Superhero Personality Test!
Thanks A!

My Interests

Sports, games, beer, anime and technology.

I'd like to meet:

In real life (dating): I've found that when i've tried to define what i want, a girl comes by that proves what i want isn't always what i need. If you're cool, then you're cool and you're who i'd like to meet.

In real life (general): Jack Black. He's a pretty cool dude and i'm fairly certain i'd be laughing my ass off for every second that we'd be hanging out.

Fictional Character(the character): Winry Rockbell because female nerds rock.

Music:

In no particular order: Anything!

I get into certain moods for certain music, but there are certain genres, like hip-hop and alternative, that i normally return to. Here's what I've been listening to lately

    Jay-Z: The gray album Jay-Z: Unplugged All American Rejects: Move Along Alkaline Trio: Various selections from all their albums James Brown: Greatest Hits Daft Punk: Discovery Common: Be Foo Fighters: The Colour and the Shape Sum 41: Go chuck yourself
Recent Additions:
    Thrid Eye Blind: Greatest Hits Full Metal Alchemist: OST 1,2 & 3 Del Tha Funkee Homosapien: Deltron 3030
What i need to pick up next/find:
    SNL's RECENT live performances Metalica: S&M

Movies:

This is gonna take a while, i'll need to come back to this

Television:

Family Guy, Futurama, Simpsons, Lost, Heroes, Mythbusters (Thanks for accepting the invites Grant and Tori!) Battle Star Galactica

My Blog

The femmes are coming, just not at the moment.

To say that things have come up would only be the start of an "excuses, excuses" hurricane that nobody needs to read about.    I can say that i STILL haven't purchased my replacement strings...

Kinda hard to play without a D string

While tuning up today, i popped my D string (feel free to insert your G-string jokes here).  Kinda puts a nasty crunch on my goal without one so I'm pushing out my song-goal-date to the 15th.I wi...

I went to the Third Eye Blind (3eb) concert last Thursday night (with a foxy 3eb fan named Libby) and had an awesome time.  I didn't realize the following:(A) I'm a bigger 3eb fan than i thought....

Guitar - Day 1 - So it begins
