About Me

I'm a pretty cool dude. I plan to be rich and famous someday and no one is stopping me. Or else.
You scored as Jock. You are the ruler of the school, so to say. You have girls swooning over your muscles and your skilled in most areas of the sports arena. You know how to play a mean game of basketball.

Your Fears: rejection, large bugs, never amounting to anything
Your Perfect Pizza: pepperoni and pineapple. i know i'm weird, but it's better than using canadian bacon (which is actually ham!)

Thoughts First Waking Up: "I think i'll go back to sleep for a few more minutes. Or hours. Or days."
Your Best Physical Feature: My eyes. or maybe my eyebrows. Or perhaps my legs, if guys can say that. I have issues with everything else
Your Bedtime: Whatever I want it to be!
Your Most Missed Memory: Fluffy Bunny I. I truly loved that stuffed rabbit, and ever since his loss I have beeen unable to begin a relationship where I might lose someone again.
Pepsi or Coke: Mexican coke. It's better because it has dirt in it!
MacDonalds or Burger King: i like BK better but McD's is cheaper and easier... So I'd better go with Wendy's

Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: Lemonade. It's just about the same thing.
Chocolate or Vanilla: Swirl!
Cappuccino or Coffee: Mocha
Do you Smoke: no - I actually almost did once but the people I was with said I was doing it wrong so I guess I haven't really
Do you Swear: No fucking way
Do you Sing: Yes
Do you Shower Daily: Unless I sleep too late or something comes up
Have you Been in Love: I've thought that I was in love many times. It's never gone anywhere, except downhill. Either because I am horrendously shy or horrendously ugly. Who knows?
Do you want to go to College: If I can't make it big without it.

Do you believe in yourself: Well, I hope I exist, but I guess no one can be absolutely sure.
Do you get Motion Sickness: If I’m reading in a car
Do you think you are Attractive: I've always thought I was, but the lack of support for the idea makes me seriously second-guess myself.
Are you a Health Freak: no way
Do you get along with your Parents: I don’t have to get along with them – they get along with me
Do you like Thunderstorms: Yes, but only pretty ones and not the dark ones where you can’t see anything

In the past month have you Smoked: no, but I’ve been smokin’!
In the past month have you been on Drugs: only vitamins
In the past month have you gone on a Date: Myspace survey, stop trying to give me depression! My life sucks enough without you rubbing it in my face.
In the past month have you gone to a Mall: what a boring question… yes.
In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: Not quite. Just some Newman-O's (Oreos for people who are cheap) and those weren't a full box anyway.
In the past month have you eaten Sushi: no. And I still don’t know which one was the squid.
In the past month have you been on Stage: All the world’s a stage so it’s hard not to be.
In the past month have you been Dumped: Considering that most of my relationships take place in my head, I have in fact been dumped, but there's still a good chance of getting back together. We just need to work on communication - like maybe talking to her not in my head.
In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: No And most of my friends are guys, so I’m not sure I’d want to
In the past month have you Stolen Anything: I’ve attempted to steal a few hearts, but if it weren’t for those meddling kids!
Ever been Drunk: no. I don’t quite see the appeal.
Ever been called a Tease: During band, by John Demgen. That's what trombone sections are for!

How do you want to Die: Glamorous, but painless
What do you want to be when you Grow Up: A Power Ranger!
What country would you most like to Visit: Atlantis. I hear the weather’s nice there, but awfully humid! Ba-dum. Chiiiing!
In a Boy/Girl..
Favourite Eye Color: Brown, blue, green, or hazel. Nothing too unnatural
Favourite Hair Color: interesting, but not ugly. The way the hairs is carried matters more than its color.
Short or Long Hair: medium to long – don’t look like a boy unless you want girls. That makes sense, doesn’t it?
Height: Short enough to wear heels and still be shorter than me so that we could go to formal events but tall enough that if we had children they wouldn’t be midgets
Weight: Doesn’t quite matter as long as its well-distributed. And No Fat Chicks. And not really muscly either. That's just gross on girls. I love how offensive this survey lets me be.
Best Clothing Style: Um… What looks good
Number of Drugs I have taken: one. And it was really bad. It probably didn’t even kill any brain cells.
Number of CDs I own: Something like ten. But now that my sister’s gone I get access to her hundreds!
Number of Piercings: 0
Number of Tattoos: 0
Number of things in my Past I Regret: I don’t know, because I try to forget them and usually succeed. But i'll say 37 for posterity. 38 after not capitalizing many of the "I"s in this.
CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

Music on television

Why is it that the music they use in commercials is always better than the music in the actual shows? Does anyone know? Anyone? It just doesn't make sense.

My nose is too big

Yeah, you already knew but that was just to get your attention. The real serious issue: do I look like an old man from far away? If anyone answers i'll explain later.
