About Me

Good Layouts and Backgrounds
According to the "Which Big Lebowski character are you?" quiz:

Why don't you check it out? Or we cut off your Johnson! My name is Garland. Like the stuff on Christmas trees. I'm not very good at stuff like this (talking about myself). I'm a pretty mellow, laid back person, but at the same time, I usually like to have an exciting time, with an ever-moving atmosphere. I enjoy surfing, sailing, scuba diving and any other activity that has to do with water obviously, whenever I'm in the appropriate location of course. Traveling is a legal drug for me, and that's a good thing because I do a lot of it. I can't stand to sit still for a long period of time. I've been known to drive to New Orleans by myself and sleep in a parking garage. Music is also a big part of my life, I own about 6 guitars, 4 amps, a keyboard, a violin, a bass, and oh yes, a kazoo. I'm in college right now, and It's working, because i'm getting dumber.

My Interests

Hmm, shall I be typical and say that my interests are music, friends, "hangin' out", and all that mess? I guess so. Other than that I'm like movies, I'm a lover of art, fine literature and other interestts that may often be viewed as nerdy. I love to travel more than anything. Nothing quite opens up my mind like driving a five speed on a multi-hundred mile trip. Well, that and a case of beer.

I'd like to meet:

Anthony Bourdain Steve Vai Joe Satriani Al Pacino John Steinbeck ZIYI ZHANG

Music:

I could go on about music for a long time. I love MOST music. I love GOOD music. I hate NEW music. That pretty much narrows it down for me. I'm extremely picky when it comes to my music; I'm somewhat of a musician myself. I can listen to an entire box set from Metallica, Pantera, or Mastodon, then turn around and listen to some old jazz like Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong. The best band you will ever hear is DREAM THEATER. long live DREAM THEATER. If you like music, then you'll like DREAM THEATER. End of story.!DREAM THEATER!

Movies:

I'm also picky about movies. All these new movies remaking superheroes from years ago? Crap. All of em'. Bow down to the directors like Sean Penn, ( Carlito's Way, Scarface) the Coen Bros.,(Raising Arizona, Fargo, O' Brother where Art Thou?) Quentin Tarintino, (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill) and Robert Zemeckis( Forest Gump, Castaway) and Stanley Kubrick,(A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, The Shining.)If it's got Tom Hanks, Al Pacino, Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson, Samuel L. Jackson, then I'll probably enjoy it. But recently, The Boondock Saints has been my favorite movie.I hope Keanu Reeves falls in a bucket of acid and Paul Walker gets his pretty blonde hair set ablaze and his crotch gnawed off by rabid dogs for being such crappy actors they are. I'm disgusted just typing their names.

Television:

TRAVEL CHANNEL! DISCOVERY CHANNEL!and maybe some robot chicken and king of the hill.

Books:

Aye, where to start. No, not at Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code"Cannery Row, John Steinbeck One flew over the cukoo's nest, Ken Kesey Anything by Carl Hiaasen.Macbeth, Shakespeare (Hey, i liked it. I always wished our school would do that play so I could be the drunk doorman.)

Heroes:

Steve Vai. Greatest Guitarist that walks this Earth today. John Steinbeck. His writing is nothing short of amazing. Gottlieb Daimler. WE needed him. He invented the engine. Stevie Ray Vaughan. Great guitarist and he had coolness down to an art.Anthony Bourdain. He has my job. I want to be him. Watch him on the travel channel.
