About Me

Just another 20-something year old doing the typical "what am i supposed to do with my life?" routine.

My Interests

people watching. the meaning of life. moving from place to place and wondering where i'll go next...

I'd like to meet:

Oh, lots of people. But I'm currently satisfied with the group of people I do already know.

Music:

I love music. so I should mention: U2. They're my all time fav. I love them. Also: Coldplay, David Gray, David Bowie, The Postal Service, Sting and the Police, Arcade Fire, New Order, Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, Juanes, Smashing Pumpkins, Julieta Venegas, Depeche Mode, Fleetwood Mac, PM Dawn, Prince, Old School-type music, Jem, The Killers, Keane, Stereophonics, The Clientele, early - mid 90s rap (cause of my bro), Bruce Springsteen, Ryan Adams, 80s are the best!, Chicane, Moenia, Mana, and pretty much anything else. Cause I firmly believe that there is at least one song from any genre and any era that you'll like.

Movies:

These tend to make my day: Lost in Translation, The Shawshank Redemption, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, The Wedding Singer, Rushmore, Ghost, Glory, In America, Bridget Jones' Diary, Chungking Express, Sleeping With The Enemy, Stand By Me, The Goonies, Russian Ark, Shaun of the Dead, The Royal Tennenbaums, I also have a soft spot for Sister Act

Television:

whatever is on. i love the office (american). rock of love II, i flippin love rock of love. bret michaels is still hot after all these years. pretty much anything on vh1

Books:

The Power of One, The Giver, The Prophet, In Cold Blood, The Alchemist, Jemima J, Man's Search For Meaning and anything by David Sedaris.

Pure Genius

So, I was watching a late-nite show here in Japan and I'm not entirely sure what was going on, but I guess I shouldn't question it too much.   Three men were wearing white, ASS-LESS jumpsuits. On...
