Rob, The

if it were true, you'd think I could come up with something better than Clever Rob

About Me

Sometimes when I'm walking up to my house, I press the button on my keychain and unlock my car thinking it'll unlock my front door.

...digital clock numbers in a mirror always appear in italics

I like:
-Macaroni and Cheese
-That moment of exhilaration when you take a full 5 gallon water cooler bottle and prepare to turn it upside down (clumsily holding it, adjusting it, positioning it) and mount it on its base, not knowing how much water you're about to spill on the ground
-Very large flocks of birds
-Driving with the heat on and windows down
-Water main breaks

I have a roomba named Jezebel... cause it sucks everything.

My Interests

optical illusions, bags with lots of buttons or patches, girls who smell like vanilla, reality in general, jokes and riddles, parties, watching movies, dry wit, short and/or dyed hair, little slips of paper, all forms of running water, punk and goth, cars with lots of bumper stickers, sloppy wet wit.

Things to do before I die
- Listen to a real, large Pipe Organ... to feel the sound in my chest
- Be nomadic for at least a year, living in a van or just hitchhiking
- Work at 3 dozen jobs for a couple of weeks each, max
- Get Stephen Hawking's Autograph... wait...
- Eat a Deep Fried Twinkie. Yeah.

I'd like to meet:


Hippies, free thinkers, and those who don't care about the social norm just enough to do their own thing.
Smart people, or at least someone I can have a good, long conversation with.
I enjoy people who are a little weird.

I really enjoy anything clever or creative, people who can tell stories... anyone funny, quirky or odd...

Music:

Muse, NoFX, Shiny Toy Guns, hellogoodbye, DJ Tiesto, OC Remix , Damien Rice... plenty of others

Movies:

old school, shawshank redemption, grandma's boy, vanilla sky, matilda, groundhog day, thank you for smoking, short circuit, 40 year old virgin

airplane, drop dead fred, back to the future, monty python's holy grail, mallrats, fight club, it could happen to you

Television:

futurama, family guy, colbert report, space ghost coast to coast, harvey birdman...
I was going to put down that I like the simpsons, but I realized that it would be stupid to write that.
Everybody likes the simpsons. It'd be as if I wrote that I liked chocolate. It's just assumed.
They've been on for nearly two decades, so there's gotta be enough people watching it that it stays profitable. It makes more sense to just assume you like the simpsons too, unless it's explicitly stated that you don't.

I also don't like chocolate.

Heroes:

adam west
mitch hedberg
chris farley
william shatner
christopher walken
buster
