Hey baby, I set the trends.

About Me


My name is Patrick Ozols, I hope I'm pronouncing that right.
I'm as boring a person you're likely to meet, there's absolutely no depth to me at all. I fear committment, I--I can't even write in pen. Do I have an original thought in my head? My bald head. Maybe if I were happier my hair wouldn't be falling out. Life is short. I need to make the most of it. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I'm a walking cliche. I really need to go to the doctor and have my leg checked. There's something wrong. A bump. The dentist called again. I'm way overdue. If I stop putting things off I would be happier. All I do is sit on my fat ass. If my ass wasn't fat I would be happier. I wouldn't have to wear these shirts with the tails out all the time. Like that's fooling anyone. Fat ass. I should start jogging again. Five miles a day. Really do it this time. Maybe rock climbing. I need to turn my life around. What do I need to do? I need to fall in love. I need to have a girlfriend. I need to read more and prove myself. What if I learned Russian or something, or took up an instrument. I could speak Chinese. I'd be the screenwriter who speaks Chinese and plays the oboe. That would be cool. I should get my hair cut short. Stop trying to fool myself and everyone else into thinking I have a full head of hair. How pathetic is that. Just be real. Confident. Isn't that what women are attracted to? Men don't have to be attractive. But that's not true. Especially these days. Almost as much pressure on men as there is on women these days. Why should I be made to feel I have to apologize for my existence? Maybe it's my brain chemistry. Maybe that's what's wrong with me. Bad chemistry. All my problems and anxiety can be reduced to a chemical imbalance or some kind of misfiring synapses. I need to get help for that. But I'll still be ugly though. Nothing's going to change that.

My Interests



Movies are my life, music, art/cartooning/sketching/photoshop, concerts, DVDs, shopping like a girl, driving, Toronto goin', getting carded, hibernating/coma naps, trying on clothes I can't afford, billiards, the bar/club scene, not tipping, jazzercise, people watching, throwing out pennies, laying on car hoods watching planes fly overhead, looking at before-and-after crystal meth photos, stand-up comedy, sitting down, laughing at my own jokes, being a self-centered asshole, neckties, TV, sarcasm, hanging with friends, trying to write a screenplay, serial killers, zombies, internetting, cut-off jean shorts that effectively hide my thunder, clothes, Wikipedia, New York City, using my debit card to buy gum, hating Niagara, awkward situations and uncomfortable conversation, gay innuendo that goes too far. When it comes to interests in the opposite sex, I'm into moms, primarily. Soccer moms, single moms, Nascar moms.. any type of mom, really.
