About Me

Anti Bush Myspace
..

This is the best answer I've ever heard in my life.
..
Sometimes I imagine I am in the bathroom when thugs attempt to take over the area and it's up to me to sneak out and save everyone Die Hard-style and walk on glass with my bare feet and say "Yippe Kayay Mother fucker."





My Interests


I think independent film and video is the coolest.
I play in a funk/rock band called TheBagYouliveIn.
I like making my Myspace page as cool as possible to trick people into thinking I'm more rad than I really am.
I enjoy talking about myself, feeling the Wal-Mart wind in my hair, and collard greens.
Not really sure why there are still directions on electric hand dryers.
There's nothing worse than trying so hard to look so different. Except AIDS. AIDS is worse than that.
I like character driven films.
Biggest Chris Farley fan on the face of the planet.
I don't like chickenhawk war profiteers.

I'd like to meet:

My Grandfather Reilly for just five more minutes...
My Grandfather Newport for the first time
John Cassevettes for the inspiration
Leonard Cohen for the awe factor
Barack Obama for the future And them.
