About Me


Hello All!!! I'm Erik and you're now viewing my crappy Myspace page. I'm just an average guy living in California. I am, admittedly, a bit of a dork though I switch between that and seriousness rather quickly. I have a varied array of hobbies. Some of these include mountain biking, surfing, hanging out w/ friends, dicking around on my computer and watching paint dry.

I recently moved back to California from Tennessee/Kentucky and a word of caution to any soul silly enough to consider moving/visiting there: "DON'T!" Why? I have my reasons, which may or may not become apparent to you should you decide to try and find out for yourself.

I'm currently in Irvine, California and am working a slow death due to asphyxiation from all of the smog. I enjoy ignoring to plastic surgery commercials on the radio and flipping hopelessly through the channels in search of a non-reality tv show/drama.

One day or another, I plan on attending law school. There is no better way to protect yourself in our modern world than to know the law short of waving a gun madly about in order to get your way. Recent history tells us, however, that though the gun waving technique may be effective in the short term, it is mildly problematic in the long term.

You Are a Punk Rocker!
When it comes to rock, you don't follow any rules
You know that rocking out is all about taking down the man
You've got an incredible stage presence and rock persona
You scare moms, make bad girls (or boys) swoon, and live life on the edge! What Kind of Rocker Are You?
You are Agnostic
You're not sure if God exists, and you don't care.
For you, there's no true way to figure out the divine.
You rather focus on what you can control - your own life.
And you tend to resent when others "sell" religion to you. What's Your Religious Philosophy?
This is a ton of fun, you guys should really Play The Movie Game!!

This is great, btw; Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondence Dinner... what could EVER go wrong w/ that scenario?! Check it out:

Part 1: He is introduced and it begins

Part 2: The room is hushed because... well, he's making fun of them all

Part 3: His audition tape for white house press secretary

My Interests


Mountain Biking, Swimming, Martial Arts, Salsa Dancing, Computers and spending time with old friends. Oh... I'm also interested in cash donations, should you be so inclined.

I'd like to meet:

I'd settle for people with an open mind who are at least mildly intelligent and nice and/or cynical (if they can mix). Cynical people are the most fun, however and play into my (sometimes) dark sense of humor.
