About Me

I am about to turn 25 which kinda freaks me out cause I feel like I should have it all figured out by now and I don't. I'm not obsessed with money and I think capitalism is cruel and inherently evil. I sometimes prefer animals to people cause they are so innocent. Besides animals can't speak for themselves so I feel people need to stand up for them. I don't care for organized religion or authority figures on power trips. I hate rasist and closedminded people. I am an avid (some might call it obsessed) gamer. And I love music and I am almost constantly singing. I appreciate all forms of art especially literature. I'd like to consider myself an informed person and a little bit of an intellectual. I can get a bit anti-social and sometimes prefer staying at home watching movies or playing bully on wii to going out. I work to much and need a vacation.

My Interests

Concerts, Hiking, Rock climbing, Travel, Nature, Going to shows, Politics, Activism, Musical Theater, Reading, Singing, Swimming, Dancing, Writing, Movies, Trying new beers (like a connoisseur not an alc), Poker, Video games, Taking care of my calico kitties. I'll try anything once, and more if I like it

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet chill people who are open minded, male or female. I'd like to meet people that share the same interests but even if you don't I wouldn't mind a different point of view once in awhile. Its always good to change perspectives.

Music:

My all time favorite bands are Tool, Green Day, The Doors, The Beatles, and A Perfect Circle. My favorite female artist is Alicia Keys. Other bands I like: My Chemical Romance, NIN, Bouncing Souls, NOFX, Ten Foot Pole, System of a Down-older stuff, Less then Jake, Akaline Trio, Pennywise, Rancid, AFI, Millencolin, Transplants, Modest Mouse, Living End , Dashboard Confessional, and Hot Hot Heat. I also love Cherish, Sean Kingston, and Akon. Any song that Akon touches is gold.

Movies:

Rent, I am Legend, Sweeney Todd, Lord Of War, Running Scared, Wallace and Gromitt Curse of the Were Rabbit, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Batman Begins, 12 Monkeys, The Corpse Bride, The Crow, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Empire Records, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (R.I.P. Hunter S. Thompson), Foxfire (I love Angelina) ,SLC Punk, Party Monster, Blow, Starsky and Hutch, Braveheart (since I am of the Wallace Clan), Fight Club, Taking lives, The Nightmare before Christmas, The Motorcycle Diaries (R.I.P. Che) Garage Days, Garden State, Kids, Unleashed, Connie and Carla, Hostage, Supertroopers, Hackers, Shaun of the Dead, Cold Mountain.

Television:

I spend a lot of my time watching current tv, its addicting. I faithfully watch Colbert and sometimes Stewart. I also like Attack of the Show, Survivor, Gossip Girl, Big Brother,Bad Girls Club, So you think you can dance, Dirty jobs, and Man vs Wild. I also always seem to like shows that are about to get canceled while crap like Idol and the Bachelor get season after season. I thought Carpoolers and the Caveman show were funny.
