The Stage: I love theatre and everything involved in it. I love performing on the stage; I love set production, costume design, writing, directing, etc. I have devoted most of myself to the pursuit of my passion and to improve my craft. My favorite plays are The Phantom of the Opera, Woyzeck, Nevermore!, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Laramie Project, Titus Andronicus and Agnes of God. This coming season, my company will be performing Tom Jones and The Insanity of Mary Girard. I will be directing and acting in The Laramie Project as well. I am also the president of the Warped Improv Troupe and on the board of my school's chapter of The International Thespian Society.
Gothic and Bauhaus Architecture: It is hard for me to understand the breathtaking beauty created simply with wood and stone and glass. Delicate curves, sharp apexes and a haunting ethereality render this architecture style a never fading and always stunning institution of our world's history, past and present. Therefore, I love cathedrals, catacombs and castles as much as I love my own home. In fact, if anyone knows of a cathedral, catacomb or castle on rent to those with meager incomes, contact me. And the funny part is that you think I'm kidding. The modernity of Bauhaus is also very striking. The smooth planes and cubism involved please me aesthetically. In addition, the frequent juxtaposition of such an industrial form and the earthiness of nature is an idea of which I am quite fond.

I usually just turn the TV off and watch myself reflected in its black depths. I'm sure that behavior like this signifies some sort of abberation, but I despise introspection.
Well, I suppose I like the History Channel and the Discovery Channel. I also like Sanford and Son reruns. Other than that, TV isn't worth my time. I'd much rather music, books or films.

There is only one person in this world who has immense amounts of impact in my life. And it's not that he really does anything, but there's just something... Thomas Synwolt. The average working man. Except that he doesn't really work, but he has this one shirt that says, "I'm like a superhero with no powers or motivation." Also, he plays a text-based version of Grand Theft Auto on his calculator, so I guess he is the king of men.
And Garrett Hysmith, the little devil. He is a true inspiration in my life, and I will sorely miss him. May he rest in the arms of God now and skateboard on ramps of cloud and gold.
