Bob Taylor Still Rocks!

I like corny. I'm looking for corny in my life.

About Me

Welcome, my friends (and enemies) to my very own Myspace page. Enter freely of your own will and leave some of the happiness you bring behind when you leave. I'm Robert Taylor, current senior at Kent State University majoring in Newspaper Journalism and wannabe writer and director.I live in two worlds. One is a place where a single dying word can define a man so perfectly yet miss the entire point of his life, a young girl can be thrown over the rainbow and realize what she wanted was right at home, a girl can slay vampires better than any man, and the puppets in New York are dirty and sing about sex. My second one is full of characters just as eccentric but supremely real, made of flesh and bone, full of love, and are my ultimate inspiration for everything.

My Interests

Emmy Rossum. Broadway. Buffy! Crappy reality TV that is oh so bad yet oh so good. Disney. Not Will Ferrell. Not Steve Martin. Reading a good book while swinging on my hammock. Snuggling up in front of a fire and watching an old movie. Dry humor. Avenue Q. Touching a person's life in some good way, shape or form. Listening to the On The Record soundtrack at least twice a week and being inspired by it. Teaching. Writing. Making fun of Mandy Moore's Coverage every chance I get. Valerie Cherish's Comeback. Getting hugged by Kristen Bell. Talking about pants with Adam Brody. Walking through Borders and randomly screaming "Oh My God! I write for that magazine!" Being Pallandinoed. Loving Big Brother but hating that the right person never wins. Ditto with Top Model. Pawley's Island, South Carolina. Owning so much but needing so little. Waiting for the right person. Screaming into my cell phone because the volume is broken...again.

I'd like to meet:

Come one, come all...but no serial killers please.

Music:

Maroon 5, Fall Out Boy, Jack's Mannequin, Lucky Boys Confusion, Kelly Clarkson, Gavin DeGraw, GreenDay, Alanis Morrisette, OAR, The Fray, P!nk, Jewel, Christina Aguileria, Pussycat Dolls, The Killers, Sheryl Crow, Augustana, Teddy Geiger, Nelly Furtado, Mat Kearny, Switchfoot, Gwen Stefani...yes I love pop, however disposable and not embarassed about it, and love rock as well.

Movies:

Citizen Kane, Gone With The Wind, Moulin Rouge!, Color Purple, Sunset Boulevard, Signs, Touch of Evil, Dark City, Wizard of Oz, West Side Story, Serenity, Brokeback Mountain, Casino Royale, Infamous, Rear Window, The Birds...so many more. Anything Hitchcock, Spielberg (yes, I know everyone says that but there is a reason everyone says those two filmmakers so shut up), Hawks, Wise, De Palma...and more.

Television:

Buffy! Angel! Firefly! Veronica Mars! Gilmore Girls! The Amazing Race! America's Next Top Model! The OC, 24, One Tree Hill (in a guilty pleasure way), Hell's Kitchen, Big Brother, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Drawn Together, October Road, 30 Rock, Brothers and Sisters, the CSIs, the Law and Orders...see, I'm what one would call a TV junkie who adores all things television. I even have a long-running column about it on the Daily Kent Stater.

Books:

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, The Shining, any Harry Potter, Running With Scissors, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, To Kill a Mockingbird, Devil in the White City, Great Gatsby, Hush, Abadazad, Along Came A Spider, The Devil's Candy...ask me about graphic novels I love as well.
