Conrad is a critic, but hey he really respects your talent.

About Me

I'm crazy. I'll cut you. I'm an elitist snob. I want to be a cultural terrorist and one day hope to be assassinated so my picture will be in the newspaper. I'm also tall. I'm the type of guy who orders a salad at a steakhouse. I'll never go to a Starbucks. I like to grow my hair for 6 months and then complain about how messy it is. When I drink a lot, Gigam comes out. I've never broken a bone and I haven't been sick in about 7 or 8 years. I run a lot and play softball and generally try to kick some ass whenever I can.

Emo?

I found this on urbandictionary.com.  I wrote in that rant that "What you call emo isn't" and I think this explains what I meant.  Not that it matters, b/c everyone will just call whatever e...
