About Me

I can do at least 10 pushups in a row. I can say the alphabet backwards in under two minutes. I once tried to run from the police to no avail. I've kissed the world with fingers crossed. I've never spent a night incarcerated. I write movies. I read books. I like dogs. I'm not a vegetarian. I take my vitamins. I've been out of the country on numerous occasions. I hate school. Sometimes I like to sit in my basement with a glass of red wine, and a book of poetry, wearing lots of lace with a storm raging outside. I've been praised. I've been cursed. I've been blamed. I've won, and I've lost. I admit to loving Hootie. I've never smuggled anything into the country in my ass. I can handle six tables at once. I am wanted in the state of Washington. I love to rave at Jillian's with a good bowl of dip. I make jokes that no one understands. I laugh at those jokes. I can't drive 55

I would vote for this as the coolest website ever

So, I think this would be the coolest website ever: You type in a song, and it will tell you all the movies and tv shows that that song has been in. You could do it by band, and it would show ev...

I am in love... With love

Elizabethtown got some of the worst reviews I've seen for a movie in a long time. So why did I love it as much as I did? It's the moment. Everything else is very c...

When is a douche-bag not just a douche-bag?

I really wish that people could just be black and white. I hate all this gray shit, where you're not really sure whether someone is going to screw you or not. If you're going to be an ass,...
