So, I was in this ninja musical...

About Me

Renaissance Person. In training.

If you'd like to add me as a friend and we don't already know each other, please also send me a message in addition to the friend request so I know it's not a spam request. Thanks!

NOTE: Also, some folks have been messaging me to add them, but their profile settings are on Private, so I cannot respond to you nor invite you to be a friend without knowing your name/email. So I'd be glad to add you, but you have to message me AND friend me for that to happen.

Visit my YouTube Channel to see my videos and get an idea of my sense of humor:

My Interests

Physical activities and sports (such as rock climbing, kayaking, running, yoga, pick-up soccer, martial arts (kung fu), roller blading and more), movies, theater, cooking, window shopping, people watching, television, political stories that involve the current administration being exposed for the bunch of corrupt bastards that they are.

I'd like to meet:

Creative types who often say "Yes," sometimes say "Maybe," and rarely say "No." Someone to learn tango with.

A girl with a mind like a diamond.And kind people. I think simple kindness is become rare these days. And not in the good cut of beef way.

Music:

I'm told I like bouncy, quirky music.

Movies:

It's a Wonderful Life, Lawrence of Arabia, All That Jazz, Notting Hill, Enter the Dragon, Shall We Dance (Fred Astaire Version), Empire Strikes Back, Seven Samurai, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Ong Bak is pretty insane as well.

Television:

CANCELLED: Now and Again, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Mr. Show, The Batman/Superman Adventures, Justice League Unlimited, News Radio, Alias (though this show ended terribly - it actually managed to jump the shark TWICE)

CURRENT: The Wire, The Office, Smallville (currently in one long shark jump), Lost, Charlie Rose, The Sopranos, Battlestar Galactica, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Letterman/Conan, Ugly Betty

REALITY (Listed separately as Reality TV isn't really television): Project Greenlight, Average Joe, The Biggest Loser, IT Factor. I used to love Survivor until they never even called me back after several kick-ass audition video attempts. The final straw was not getting called back for Survivor:Thailand. What the @.!(ing hell is THAT? I can't get called back for Survivor:THAILAND?!

Heroes is terrible, by the way. What are you people thinking?

Books:

Illusions, Have Spacesuit Will Travel, Farewell to Arms, The Odessey (Fitzgerald translation), Shane, The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Old Man and the Sea, How Much Do I Love You?

Heroes:

We don't need another hero. Hero.
Favorite food: It's so hard to pick just one. I love Thai, Japanese, American, French, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, and so forth. I think...
Favorite Movie: Well, I listed a bunch up there; again, it's hard to say which...
Best Girlfriend: Er, um, there were a lot of good ones. I guess they each had qualities that...
Virginity Lost: Um, that's a little personal, don't you think?
Answer The Damned Question: What?
Best Lay: Hey! That's just rude!
Your Momma: Excuse me?!?!
I Said, Your Momma: Okay, that's it, I'm not answering anymore of these...
Do You Think I'm Fat: No, of course not... wait, what the $&@#!!??
Is It Someone Else: No, GOD, I just... wait. You know, I think we're done here.
It's Friendster, Isn't It: Oh for Christ's sake.
I HATE YOU: Look, maybe when you've calmed down a bit, MySpace, I'll come back and post more. Until then, I think... I think we just need some time apart.
I Can't Believe You're Breaking Up With Me: NO! Just... look, just go to sleep, we'll talk in the morning.
FINE: Fine.

Happy Halloween!
