About Me

I currently attend the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities.
I am majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Math.
I would love to make video games someday. I like the design aspect as well as programming.
I look down when I walk because I don't want to step in a bear trap.
I wish I was better at art.
I live across the street from the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and down the street from MCAD. It's ok.
Katie is really cool.
I work at the U of M as a student computer technician. It's pretty convenient.
I play in this band called Four Friends Band. They're my friends.
I like wit and dry humor.
I'm the kind of guy that when all of his friends run across the street at a yellow light, he stays and they have to wait. Or he has to run to catch up.
When I was in Kindergarten, I forgot my backpack on the bus, and I never saw it again. It was a Ninja Turtles backpack. A little while later, I forgot my new backpack on the bus, but we were able to find it in the Bus Company's lost and found. At that point, my mom was fed up and learned from her mistake by writing my name and phone number on my backpack with a Sharpie. She then proceeded to write it on my coat. And my trapper keeper. If I was old enough, she would've had it tattooed on me. Until I was old enough to buy my own stuff, she wrote my name and number on just about everything that I could lose. She probably still would.
That's a little bit about me.

My Interests

Listening to and playing music, video games, computers and technology, rollerblading is fun, I like taking walks...

I'd like to meet:

I'm not a big fan of people in general. That doesn't mean I won't like you. No, no, no. It's just that I don't find much to like in most people. It's really too bad.

On that note, I think everyone that I would've liked to meet is dead. Bummer.

Wait.

I would love to sit down and talk with Shigeru Miyamoto.

Bad timing

My lack of confidence has apparently led to a downward spiral of cold showers and too much "me" time. Interpret that as you will.Someone needs to go thrift store shopping with me. It's the perfect tim...

Oh Joy

Christmas time is so nice. Except, of course, when it doesn't feel like Christmas time. Then it's just time. And that's ok too. But not as good as Christmas time.You know what'...

Winner!

So I've been debating on starting to journal again. I've had this debate a few times in the past year, though this time might be serious, I'm not sure. I used to enjoy it a lot. Time...

So there was this woman that got off the bus with me today. I got off after her, and as soon as I did, she stopped me. She told me she was sitting behind me on the bus and that she couldn't figure out...

A short story about a boy.

Turns out this isn't going to be as exciting as you might expect. I didn't get robbed, but rather I was the subject of a robbery.I'm doing dishes in the back room at work, and this guy yells "He...
