About Me

"Everybody's wearing a disguise
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes.
But me, I can't cover what I am
Wherever the children go I'll follow them."
-Bob Dylan

Beware of Safety. Beware of the Mode.

Breathe the rain and watch the trees, for the Road goes ever on and on.

Movies:

Rocky Horror, What Dreams May come... there are a lot, and most of them are old or "Classics." Don't take me to any horror movies though, I get scared really easy by that kinda stuff.

Television:

Meh. I watch more movies than tv. House though... House is pretty much my favourite show.

Books:

I'm a literature "Buff," a "Bookworm," a fucking "Nerd" if you will.
No more fun with quotation marks for Katie.
The point is... I really love to read. It keeps me grounded; whether that be bad or good is uncertain.

Heroes:

Any man who will play me some fiiine ukulele.
