J.D. Lewis, -Man About Town

That all things change but truth, and that truth alone lives on forever.

About Me

Hi, there! I'm "J.D.", also known as Jeffrey, and I so totally and completely rule. The voices in my head tell me so, and they wouldn't lie to me, if they know what's good for them! With all annoying arrogance aside, if I were to honestly attempt to accurately describe my often obnoxious personality to you, I would have to refer you to the characters of "Toby Ziegler" and "Will Bailey" from one of my favorite television series, "The West Wing." For better or for worse, both the "Toby Ziegler" and "Will Bailey" characters, their quirks, their sardonic personalities, their world views, their sense of irony, and their sarcastic sense of humor mirrors mine. Although, in all honesty, I don't really so much have a sense of humor, as I do, more accurately, just so happen to have a highly over-developed sense of sarcasm and irony, that occasionally just so happens to be humorous. I'll openly admit that very often I can be very hard to get to know, and as just as often, I can be just as hard to get along with, even after you do get to know me. However, if you are brave enough to look past my seemingly endless arrogance and sarcasm, chances are very strong that we can become very good friends! Oh, by the way, please don't tell anyone, but I'm secretly Batman! :)

My Interests

My Interests? Food! Eating! The Theatre! That's All! -Just Kidding! :) But seriously though, my real interests are the following: I love Film, Television, Animation, Music, Literature, Theatre, and Politics. I enjoy discussing my opinions on these subjects at length, and I'm open to listening to other people's opinions whether they are right or just painfully misinformed. Bear in mind however, I am always right about everything. Everything. I'm also mad. Quite mad. :)

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to say that I'd like to meet 1960's TV Batman Adam West, who is the one true Batman, ...Oh, but wait, -I already did! I even had drinks with the man! It's true! Ha, Ha, Ha!!! Jealous? I know, I know, I am as a God! I'd also like to meet Rod Serling, creator and host of "The Twilight Zone," ...Oh, but wait, -he's dead! Never mind! So, other than someday maybe meeting Richard Schiff and Joshua Malina, the actors who played the parts of the characters "Toby Ziegler" and "Will Bailey" from the television series, "The West Wing," I'd like to meet and make friends with people who share interests similar to mine, or at the very least, who can kindly tolerate my quirks and my odd interests, as well as my arrogance and my sarcasm, with patience, a smile, and a good sense of humor. :)

Music:

Whenever I'm not enjoying listening to either Alternative Rock, Classic Rock, Classical Music, Pop Music, Lounge Music, (Including the dulcet tones of the various members of Frank Sinatra's "Rat Pack!") Surf Music, Ska, Reggae, Hip Hop, Rap, R&B, Blues, or Jazz, I'm also enjoying listening to film score soundtracks of my favorite movies. (Especially the film music scores of John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, John Barry, Ennio Morricone, Lalo Schifrin, Nelson Riddle, Henry Mancini, and Danny Elfman!) As far as any music is concerned, regardless of it's genre, if it's "got a good beat and you can dance to it," chances are very good for the most part that I'll end up liking it!
