About Me

I'm not a very likeable person. I'm hard to get along with. I'm not a big fan of people in general. I enjoy arguing just for the sake of arguing no matter how wrong I am. I'm never wrong. I'm a compulsive liar. I'm a little too sarcastic for my own good. I'm not cool. I'm not attractive. Inside or out. I'm not very interesting. I'm pretty annoying. I'm a procrastinator. I believe in style over comfort. I love crossword puzzles. I graduated from college with a communications degree. I'd pay top dollar to listen to Henry Rollins talk about music. I have a man crush on Barry Bonds. I send him emails once a week giving him words of encouragement hoping that my kind words may somehow brighten his day. He gave me a shout out on 4/11/05. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself:http://barrybonds.mlb.com/players/bonds_barry/journ al/archives_05.htmlThat was pretty much the greatest day of my life. Well, 2nd behind the night the White Sox completed a four game sweep of the Astros, thus securing the 2005 world series championship for the city of Chicago. I have a pretty big man crush on Reggie Bush, too. I survived major brain surgery when I was 17. I have an amazing scar on my head from said surgery that is the current cause of my rapidly receding hairline. I'm pigeon-toed. I have a pretty impressive collection of Member's Only jackets. The music of Kelly Clarkson is my guiltiest of pleasures. Through my tireless efforts, I single-handedly got Scott Podsednik voted onto the 2005 AL all-star team. The first concert I went to was The Monkees. I was 6. Jimi Hendrix opened for The Monkees during his first U.S. tour. Destiny? I'd say so. Youth baseball parents are the worst. I'm a virgin. I'm a cancer. When I shake hands with a person, I stick my index finger out while doing so. I read the Garfield comic strip every morning. If i don't read it, my day seems meaningless. I find alliteration and overbites to be compellingly sexy. I'm obsessive compulsive. I can't seem to get enough of sudoku. I have mastered every guitar style imaginable: blues, jazz, rock, punk, flamenco, finger picking, shred, and a bunch of other styles I have invented that you have never heard before. I have yet to name these new styles because I just don't have the time. These styles that I have created are too complex for you to wrap your tiny little mind around, so don't even bother trying. I'm a prodigy, if you will. I'm a huge fan of T.J. Simers. I'm a firm believer in Christ. xXx. I don't do drugs. I don't smoke. I don't drink. 98% of my friends drink. I hate my friends. I don't really have any friends. I have people who allow me to hang out with them in exchange for my designated driving skills. I'm allergic to grass. While eating Skittles, I eat the yellow and orange ones 1st to get them out of the way. It makes the red, green, and purple ones much more enjoyable. I love the White Sox. I love the Lakers. I love USC. I love Arizona basketball. I love the Dodgers. I hate the Cubs. I hate the Twins. I hate the Sacramento Kings. I hate the Angels. I hate UCLA. I hate Notre Dame. I hate the Red Sox. I hate the Yankees. I hate the Giants. I hate the Tigers. I hate LSU. As much as I hate those teams, I hate their fans even more. Hate is a strong word. I enjoy writing. I love J.D. Drew even though he's on the Red Sox. The fact that I love Barry Bonds makes me the worst Dodger fan ever. Sorry. I'm still a huge Frank Thomas fan, regardless of what Kenny Williams thinks. I love Kobe Bryant. I hate Vince Young. I don't think Dane Cook is funny. Former major leaguer Andy Allanson cussed at me when I was 7. I collect coins from 1942 and 1970. I only have 3 1942 coins. I'm obsessed with Jimi Hendrix. I'm widely regarded as the foremost authority on Jimi Hendrix west of the Mississippi. I hate Myspace. Contrary to popular belief, I am a heterosexual. I hate talking on the phone. I hate flying. I'm convinced that Jimi Hendrix was murdered. Possibly by the German government. It's a long story but I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I look at old Topps cards for drawn on batting gloves and uniforms. I do impressions of the stances of baseball players. I appear on pg. 180 in The Rock's autobiography. The Rock is convinced that I'm related to Jonathan Coachman. Fantasy sports and Ebay rule my life. I like to waterski. I hate driving. I played college baseball.. ..
