There really isn't much to me. I work at a beer & wine store during the day (and most nights). When I'm not working, you could probably find me hanging out with people or out having a drink or 5. Currently, I play guitar and do vocals for Altar Of The Apocalypse.
If you already know me in person, then you know how I am. If you, however, do not then I suppose I will do the best I can in explaining. I don't like most people. I guess you could say that has gotten better (or worse, depending on how you look at it) because of my job but, even then, I only tolerate those people. There are a select few that I generally and genuinely like. I've come to find out that the majority of people I have and probably will come across are just wastes of time and space. I am a pessimist, realist and occasional cynic all by choice. I laugh just about as much as I scowl. I believe there needs to be an occasional bit of comedy mixed within tragedy. Normally, I don't say much in conversation but I do like it, especially if it has substance and is intelligent. If I feel comfortable with you, chances are I will talk a little bit more than usual. I do not open up easily which goes back to the whole point about my being comfortable with talking to you. If I do happen to become comfortable with you, however, I am a total dork and that usually comes out in my dry and sometimes dark sense of humor. I laugh at inappropriate things and the subtleties of life. If I make fun of you, be thankful of it. I only do it to people I like or unless I feel like being an asshole. Do feel free to contact me on AIM though. My screen name is BlackMetalMatt. I also have Yahoo and MSN but I'm not on those very often so if you want to talk to me there, just ask for them.
One thing that has irritated me though for some reason is the people that say music is their life, yet they know nothing about it. They can't play an instrument or anything. I don't know, it's just a personal thought of mine.
If you've made it to this point and were not bored or forced to read this, congratulations. I owe you a drink in some form if I ever meet you.
