Dreux

I won't say I'm better than you. Just think it.

About Me

My name is Dreux (yeah, I know, I spell it awesome-style).I grew up in a very wealthy suburb of Washington, DC, but I will tell you ad-nauseum about how I moved out of my parents' house at age 16 to live in teh ghetto (being poor is cool).I now live in Canada, because I'm too good for where I'm from (please note that doesn't stop me from complaining about where I am).I write better than you. I am a writer.I play music better than you. I am a musician.Speaking of music, I play in a hardcore band. I don't scream. I yell. By which I mean I sound like Kermit the Frog.Speaking of hardcore, I think I'm the cat's meow (see also, "bee's knees") because I once toured with American Nightmare.Oh, and I like to talk about changing the world, because the great thinkers are talkers, not doers.Also, I'm incredibly 'bitter' and 'cynical' and proud of it. However, I constantly pontificate about the importance of treating everyone as if you love them. How can these competing ideologies possibly co-exist, you ask? Well, that's for me to know and you to admire.

My Interests

The music I play, the books I write and the films I make a part of my personality (because I would be vapid without them). Oh yeah, and cartoons.

I'd like to meet:

Shouldn't this be about people who would like to meet me?

Music:

Angry stuff with yelling (not screaming, apparently). Oh, and Jimmy Eat World. I think 'Clarity' was 'totemic,' whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean.

Movies:

Melodramatic stuff, but God forbid it be too melodramatic, because if it is, I will call it 'pedestrian' or 'Oscar-trash' or compare it to "Cold Mountain." I'm all about subtlety. Well, other people should be, that rule shouldn't apply to me. Why? Because my grasp of subtlety is so vice-like and complete that anytime I choose not to exercise it, it's obviously sarcasm, dumbshit.

Television:

I tell people I don't watch TV, but then complain about missing the Daily Show, Colbert Report and South Park. I run out of jokes when I don't watch those shows.

Books:

I'm too big a literati to create a list here. It wouldn't do service to my enormous, literary, uh...taste?

Heroes:

My mother and father, for having the courage to create a son so incredibly amazing that he would inevitably eclipse them. They live in my shadow, which is a hard thing to do, but it has to be done. I have an enormous shadow.

My Blog
