About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V3.6 !
.. width="425" height="350">.. .. ..>
"When I said "I hate what I've become" I lied, I hated who I was"
"Dog Problems" The Format
"I'm burnt out at 22, I lived too fast, and I loved too much, and I'll die too young, but I chose this
cup that I drank from..."
Tortures of the Damned - Bayside
"He was an artist, and a writer, and a poet, and a friend. In a man's life he will take a fall,
but how low he goes, it just depends"
Daly City Train - Rancid
"I do not regret the things I've done, but those I did not do!" Lucas, "Empire Records"
Let's see...
I played in a ska band for 5 years
I lived in Austin for 2 Years
I went to college for 3 years
I was in a rock band for 1 year
I lived in Los Angeles for 2 years
I lived in Nashville for 9 months
I've seen close to 90% of my great country and I haven't seen 99% of this great world...
And now...I'm back home, in TX.
I miss L.A. like crazy. Everytime I see it on TV I whimper a little, and everything's filmed in LA so it's always on TV.
I've learned that where I am doesn't matter. I'm still living life to the fullest and not regretting any part of it.

My Interests

playing music, listening to music, buying music, eating music and french kissing music on the mouth. Writing...music, sketches, screenplays...thinking about writing, I do that a lot.

Some funny people with big ideas and big dreams.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous roman candles...exploding like spiders across the stars..."

Television:

...is the new Books. If TV would have been created first...it would be the idiots that waste thier time with literature. Thers so much good TV right now...if you act like youre too cool or smart for TV its cuz you're either too poor to afford cable or to dumb to recognize clever and good writing. You might as well stop reading my profile.

In Very Particular order

1. Sports Night 2. The West Wing 3. Freaks and Geeks 4. Undeclared 5. 24 6. Arrested Development 7.The Family Guy 8.Acting Up 9. Dawson's Creek 10. How I met your mother (the best Comedy on TV right now)

Books:

Are the new glasses...if you want to pretend you're smart, put a pair of books on your eyes!!

Wild at Heart by John eldridge and Rebel without a crew by Robert Rodriguez, are pretty good. Also Truman Capote, Ray Brudbaury, C.S. Lewis, Max Lucado are Authors who were good enough to keep me interested enough to actually finish their work.

Heroes:

Patrick Swayze, God (2nd only to patrick swayze), New Kids On the Block
