About Me

A part of me dies every time I see a Fandango commercial.

My Interests

I have the most fun spending time with my gorgeous girlfriend Sarah, my friends, and my awesome family. When I have time, I like to take the guns out and shoot, go to concerts, and play the drums. I love movies. Usually if I like a movie I've just watched, I'll spend some time looking up as much trivia and "behind the scenes" type information pertaining to the film as I can find. The movie making process fascinates me.

I'd like to meet:

The person in charge of advertising at Fandango.

Music:

Where do I start? There aren't very many types of music I don't like. In no particular order, I listen to: System of a Down, Metallica, Stereomud, Static X, Deep Purple, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Zebrahead, The Living End, 311, White Zombie, Rob Zombie, The Moody Blues, The Stray Cats, Pantera, The Crystal Method, SlipKnot, Nirvana, hedPE, Alice in Chains, Booker T. and the MG's, Sevendust, Led Zeppelin, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Queen, The Doors, Chronic Future, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, No Doubt, Weezer, Radiohead, Soundgarden, Cake, Megadeth, Kennedy, The Beatles, Sublime, Sneaker Pimps, Oingo Boingo, Boston, Billy Idol, Garbage. I also like classical and orchestral music such as Grieg, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Michael Kamen, Danny Elfman, and John Williams. Like with movies, if you want to talk music, please let me know because there is no better topic.

Movies:

Anything Star Wars (yes, that means I like the prequels too!), anything Tim Burton, anything Tarantino, anything Kevin Smith.Off the top of my head I like Office Space, The Counte of Monte Cristo, Memento, Tombstone, Amadeus, hmm...I better stop there before I get carried away. I'm a movie buff. I challenge anyone to a game of "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon". If you want to talk movies, let me know, but you'll probably never get me to shut up.

Television:

That 70's Show, Maximum Exposure, COPS, South Park, American Chopper, The Family Guy.

Books:

I wish I had more time to read recreationally, but school makes that difficult. Off the top of my head I've enjoyed reading The Maltese Falcon, anything Stephen King, anything John Sandford, The Catcher in the Rye, Ender's Game, anything Michael Crichton. Under and Alone by former undercover ATF agent Billy Queen was an awesome book.

My Blog

Holy shit, I'm using my blog.

Copy, paste into a comment, add answers. This is pretty "grade school", but I'll play along. 1. Who are you? 2. Are we friends? 3. When and how did we meet? 4. Do you have a crush on m...
