I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a great guy with a shell around me. I'd like to aspire to be more than what I am...I'm sure someday I'll start. I'm having too much fun living right now. For those of you that wanted to meet me with a mullet, maybe someday it will be back. Complete with those badass handlebars.

My Interests

Movies, books, music. Writing, humour, thinking. Drugs, alcohol, food.

I'd like to meet:

The girl of my dreams, lifelong friends and Charlie Kaufman. Actually, pretty much anyone that I can find some way to identify with.

Music:

I'm just going to list bands until I get bored with this section. They're in no particular order. The Postal Service, Bright Eyes, Simon and Garfunkel, Tool, Incubus, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Brand New, Thursday, Poison the Well, Taking Back Sunday, Jimmy Eat World, Jawbreaker, Deftones, The Beatles, Cradle of Filth, Radiohead, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Fantomas...ahhhh, screw this. I could be here for hours.

Movies:

Fight Club was a good one. I also like anything Tim Burton-esque. And anything penned by Charlie Kaufman. I'm a sucker for Disney, too.

Television:

I don't really watch a whole lot of TV. The Simpsons, Family Guy and Arrested Development. MXC and Trailer Park Boys when I get the opportunity. I don't have cable.

Books:

A few of my favorite works:Life of Pi - Yann Martel, Catch 22 - Joseph Heller, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams, Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien, Life After God - Douglas Coupland

Heroes:

Wolverine and Spider-man. I'm sure there's a more humanitarian philanthropist that I could put in here...but I'm drawing a blank. I don't have a whole lot of heroes.

My Blog

It’s sucking my will to live!

So, the xbox is potentially the worst thing to ever happen to my social life.  I play way more video games than almost ever before.  There's so much snow.  Wasaga Beach's main drag is G...

BIG. ASS. TV.

Hells yeah.  And an Xbox 360.  Poor poker and guitar are about to be neglected for a good few weeks.  Nothing says "I'm a geek" like a 42" plasma tv.  Gears of War, Guitar Hero III...

So, did you hear the one about...

Alright.  Moved into a new place in the heart of (intermittently) beautiful downtown Kitchener.  Our building is ancient and our apartment is enormous.  And relatively inexpensive. ...

Stupid and boring

You know, I think that I could kill people for a living.  It'd be lucrative, I'd be good at it and I could walk around knowing that I'm a total badass.  And then I could turn around and give...

Suddenly, everything has changed.

I'm screwy.  I have this innate self-destructive desire within that I don't think will ever allow me to be completely happy.  I think I might've made one of the big mistakes of my life in ...

Aristocrat

This guy racks up a severe debt with Revenue Canada.  He owes $10,000, but only has $5,000.  So he goes and asks god what he should do.  God says "Thou shalt go to Vegas".  So the ...

Hunh.

My parents are getting a divorce.  That's...odd.  I've never known anything other than the family unit and living on my own. I have to think on this.  My back hurts....

There is simply not enough sleep in the world

Wednesday = Sleep until 2, work until 10:30, drink, poker, bed Thursday = sleep Friday = get up at 9:30.  I slept for almost 26 hours.  That seems kinda crazy to me.  ...

Sometimes, things can be so fragile.

Yesterday, I was biking home with Paul, since we finished at the same time.  We were gonna go have a beer in the cemetery. We leave the beer store and then two seconds later, this bicyclist gets ...
