Mr. Cellophane

i don't need no arms around me, i don't need no drugs to calm me..

About Me

i'm am your average lost soul. i'm into cartoons, comic books, video games, and other things that grab my interest. i'm very passionate about the music i listen to since it usually represents my state of mind or evokes a specific emotion when i'm listening too it. i am also very passionate about my work. i am an aspiring theatrical lighting designer and working on shows tends to eat up a lot my time. i love what i do, even when i hate specific shows that i'm working on. i am a quiet guy who doesn't talk very much, but can have some interesting things to say sometimes if you catch me in the right mood. there isn't a whole lot of other things to say.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

i'd like to meet interesting people who have some awesome strain of creative energy. or are just funny and enjoy my company.

Music:

I have a very ecclectic collection of music and at the same time I haven't listened to a lot of things that you may have. I make no apologies or explanations for what I listen to and I don't judge anyone on their musical tastes.

Movies:

i like movies. i like a lot of movies, so many that i couldn't even start to list them. i am a fan of cinema and i have very strong opinions on movies. just know that i like movies, and be happy with that.

Television:

I watch a lot of TV. Its mostly cartoons. Family Guy, Trigun, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Simpsons, Invader Zim, Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman, Justice League Unlimited. I've also been spending a lot of time watching G4 the gaming network my favorite shows on that channer are X-Play, Judgement Day, and Attack of the Show. Seinfeld is still one of my favorite shows. I watch American Chopper, and Monster Garage, and MythBusters. I also watch Vh1 a lot, but I usually hate every second of it. It would be different if they were actually playing music videos, but they don't do that anymore. I watch a lot of TV it was my second parent.

Books:

Contrary to popular belief i do read books, at least occasionally. I just finished reading "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman, it was a fantastic book about the apocolypse. I've read close to 20 of the Discworld books now, they are fantastic. i'm working hard to collect them all. Harpo Marx's autobiography is one of the best books i've ever read. Groucho's wasn't bad either. Miss Corpus and Rest Area by Clay McLeod Chapman are great books. Choke by Chuck Palanichuck (I definitely spelled his last name wrong, its the guy who wrote fight club) was a good book. Wonder Boys was a good book, and a good movie starring Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, Katie Holmes, Robert Downey Jr., and Frances McDormand, I don't remember who wrote the book though. I like Edgar Allen Poe, and Ambrose Bierce. Of Mice and Men is not only a great book, but a great movie, and a great play. The Grapes of Wrath was good. The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe is consistantly my favorite short story. It is always engrossing, and the more I read it the more I perform it while I read it. I'll get around to reading more someday I'm sure.

Heroes:

Anyone who is strong enough to think for themselves and not live their life to the standards of society or to tight knit social groups is a hero of mine.
