Even if you're victorious, you've got to break the chain of evil with love.

About Me

I was born an intelligent gifted child in a paper mill town. Most of my dreams involved escape in the most cinematic way possible. It took a quarter of a century, but I did eventually hatch a plan. I packed up what would fit in my car, kissed my girlfriend goodbye, and disappeared into the night...Over the next 11 days, I would resurface in Denver, Las Vegas, Long Beach, El Paso, and various points in-between. I saw the bulk of what land exists west of the Mason-Dixon line. When I grew weary, I unpacked my life in Dallas/Ft. Worth and have loved it here ever since.The problem with growing up 'small town' is getting used to not having friends around that you've known forever. Meeting new people isn't hard, but making new friends is. Over the course of my walkabout (well, driveabout is more accurate) I seem to have become introverted again, and I'm working on fixing that.I like discussion. Intelligent discussion. I don't watch TV, and rarely see movies. So I'll be happy to indulge your recommendations, but I won't really wake up until we move to the current events catagory.I also write for a site called AtypicalWeb. I've been writing for websites for about 4 years now, and it's come a long way. I just enjoy doing it to see how what I say makes people think or react. But I'm told I have a talent for it, and I'm considering a journalism degree. Yes, I'm aware that modern journalism is pretty corrupt, that's why I'm just considering it.Anything else? Ah, yes. I love streetracing. I haven't been able to do it recently since that was the main issue that *cough* enabled me to leave my hometown, and that's the story I'm sticking to. I'm a sucker for the adrenaline rush of going fast. It's better than sex. And if you don't think so, maybe you've never had a real kick in the balls from pure adrenaline. What can I say? I'm a junkie.That's about it. If you want to know more, just ask. And if you have actually read this all the way to the end (and didn't skim at all?!?) you are now obligated to message me and tell me how absolutely full of myself I am.

My Interests

Street racing, Graphic Design, Pool (billards), Good music, conversation, intelligent people, music, nightlife

I'd like to meet:

I'm new in my area, so I'm really looking to meet people who are out to have a good time, go to concerts (my god, the amount of good music here is insane), have some drinks, shoot some pool, talk about why we're here and why we do the silly things we do, and just generally enjoy life without all of the emotional baggage that comes with trying to adhere to trends and name-drop, ect. ect. Insert other annoying yippie trends here. I don't do the money bling-bling deal, I prefer to stay as real and grounded as possible, but leave myself open to having lofty goals and sharp convictions.

Music:

Radiohead, Dieselboy, Queens Of The Stone Age, Wu-Tang, Ice Cube, Incubus, MC Chris, The Mars Volta, The Killers, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Elle Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Ben Folds, Daft Punk, Super Furry Animals, No Knife, God Lives Underwater, The Roots, Black Tie Dynasty

Movies:

Man oh man. I like too many to go on about here... okay a short list... Fight Club, Pi, The Majestic, SLC Punk, Rushmore, Memento, The Red Violin, The Professional, Grosse Point Blank, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, Clerks and the entire View Askewniverse, and so on... I'm a big fan of the Independant Film Channel so I don't even remember the names of the more recent films I've seen. No, that does not make me pretensious. :)

Television:

Since I've moved cross-country, I haven't had the time for television. I seriously doubt I ever will get back around to that particular worthless persuit. I gave my television away, and I really don't miss it. Okay, okay, so I used to cheat and catch episodes of The Daily Show every once in a while, fine. Don't own one now, and I'm in no rush to purchase one.

Books:

I've been trying to get my head around The Illuminatus! Trilogy lately (ye-ikes), also got Barack Obama's new book for christmas, as well as The Red Quuen (thanks Selina!) Otherwise I'm constantly surfing news sites on the internet and doing other various forms of online research.

Heroes:

So hard to choose heroes in modern American society when we have a prediliction to tear them down... hmmm. Hunter Thompson for doing it his way, rules be damned. My father, for being the man he is and doing everything he can to stay an honorable man and a true to himself in this changing world. My mother for always telling me to set my mind free and instilling a die-hard sense of individualism. Each and every peson I meet that has a mind freed from the garbage of modern society and can think for themselves. And each and every person that's shed blood or died so that we can be here today, free willed and unoppressed.
