My life consists mainly of work (film/video, music) and friends (best people ever). Most people think I'm awesome or an idiot. I'm usually nice, so you can get to know me and make your own call.

And now my slogan for the next 30 seconds:

My Interests

Things I think are awesome:
friends and loved ones
rocking out
movies
photography
stand up comedy
stanley kubrick
booze
guinness
wine
creativity

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet rock and rollers. Cute girls with a sense of humor. Drunks with a sense of responsibility. People that laugh at jokes my dad would tell. Political haters that actually know what they hate. Someone to show me how to fix cars. Good drivers. A Muse. Record collectors. Designated drivers. Dog lovers. Tattoo artists. Optimistic cynics. High-Fivers. And Sarah Silverman.
No thanks to mark-ass tricks, trick-ass marks, skeezers, skip-skabs, scaliwags, hoo-has, and hoola-hoops.
If you're a band trying to add me to your friends list, let me just beat you to the punch here:

Music:

BANDS: STOP TRYING TO ADD ME! Unless I know you personally or you're on my list below, I'm going to deny you, so stop annoying me.
rock, punk, hardcore, reggae, ska, hip-hop, old school country and anything that's good
