god damn it, you’ve got to be kind.

About Me

i live in athens, georgia. here's what patton oswalt has to say about athens!
here's me & my lady playing patty-cake. here's the truth: i am the awesomest dude i know, and i know a lot of awesome dudes.
i like music, dancing, conversation, food and travelling. not necessarily in that order. i introduce people to each other a minimum of 12 times before i realize they know each other. i was born in ohio, raised in michigan, teased in virginia in 2004. new to athens + georgia as of march 2005.i'm going to make the fannypack hip again. i've found my partner-in-crime, but i always seek new friends. those easily embarrassed in public need not apply. strike that. we'll work on squashing your public embarrassment together. new athens friends are appreciated, though i'll usually befriend anyone, anywhere. god damn it, you’ve got to be kind. i'm not a fan of capital punishment or capital letters. i always try to remain engaged w/ life, but i'm never setting a wedding date.
i fucking love the shorter penguin in this pic:

i like to shake it, and help other people to shake their its: http://www.myspace.com/bamboozeledathens
also, please give blood if you can: http://www.givelife.org . the lives of others (and maybe you) always depends on the continuous blood donations of others. be selfless. give your life juice to the red cross. and we'll give you fruit juice in return!

My Interests



jumping pictures! music. food. people. people who like food and music. beer. conversation. conversations about my beard. honest disagreements. tongues. unapologetic smiles. seizure-dancing. whispering. walking. giving a fuck while not giving a fuck at the same time. beating the heat. perspective. politeness. good intentions. execution of well-made plans. lifting weights while watching television. smells. hands. ties. moustaches. plural things. pizzas! sabrina!

more interests here.

I'd like to meet:

i always want to meet nice, friendly people with similar or dissimilar interests. people who like to dance, take long walks, and will hold my feet while i do sit-ups get extra credit. people who like to share pitchers of beer and talk about nothing in particular get extra extra credit. i likee people who can be casual and serious and everwhere in between. i am genuinely nice and concerned for others. it pains me more when others are sad, even more than when i am sad. i like to play games, but i don't like to play games. i'm always on the lookout for people to bond with, even though i stay home more often than not. i lay down all day on hazy lazy sundays for practice.

please message me before adding me...i'll only add people i've communicated with. message me first: you may very well not want me as your friend, so let's not clog up our friends lists with people we don't talk to, k? in what other circumstance would we be friends without communicating first? none! don't do that, unless you're the type of person who walks up to strangers and screams out "hey friend!" in which case, you should exclaim that in person before randomly adding me. if i took you off my friends list, it's because we've never met/talked/danced/walked. if you'd like to befriend me again, write a playful message first and we'll see where the dance takes us.

in general, i wanna meet people as fun as daisy was:

Television:

channel surfer: cnn, msnbc, comedy central, vh1, mtv, espn, and "my name is earl". the "freaks + geeks," "curb your enthusiasm" + "six feet under" dvds are also highly watchable. what's more important is who i'm watching nothing with, instead of what nothingness we are watching. the gist is this: tv should be taken in moderation, like any drug.

i just wanna be held and told that everything is gonna be all right. don't we all?

also, lloyd dobbler, naturally. "i wanna get hurt!!!"

oh, and:and:

also, my girlfriend sabrina. she's awesome! she has fans all over!
