Three Cheers for the Almost Beautiful

The world doesn't need any more people like me. It needs someone like you.

About Me

..


Pimp out your webpage with PimpWebPage It's not about money or fame or expensive wine; it's about surprising people, and being surprised, and laughter and love, it's about doing what you were born to do without even knowing what that is, it's about never giving up on getting out alive, falling in love for the very first time over and over again, loving often and healing quickly.
It's not about anger or war, it's about pride and purposeful arrogance, it's about being there because you don't want to miss it and you don't want them to miss you, it's about dreaming as if you'll live forever and living as if you'll die tomorrow; it's about feeling alive. In the words of Bon Jovi, "It's my life," and I refuse to be anonymous.
"Love is the illusion that one woman differs from another." - H.L. Mencken

Music:


I love all music, from classical to metal to movie soundtracks to opera and pop. The only so-called 'music' that I truly dislike is most rap/R&B and music in which the vocals consist mainly of incoherent screams. My favorite musicians/singers are Rise Against, Three Days Grace, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snow Patrol, Hermano, Placebo, Eve 6, The Fray, and Staind, Brand New, Skid Row, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Theory of a Deadman, Vivaldi, Nightwish, Seether, Journey, Sublime, Mickey Avalon, Cake, The Exies, The Arrogant Worms, Weird Al Yankovic, and Disturbed.

Dig it.

Movies:

The Phantom of the Opera, V for Vendetta, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Devil's Advocate, The Departed, Lucky Numer Sleven, Boondock Saints, The Count of Monte Cristo, the first Matrix movie, Sin City, Fight Club, American History X

Television:

Since moving to Madrid, I don't really watch TV.

Books:

The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, Catch-22, Dante's Divine Comedy, Faust, Dr. Faustus, The Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, any religious canon, Anne Rice's novels, and Darkness, by Sam Siciliano - the most moving book I've ever read.
