This is the greatest moment of your life.

About Me

I'm the king of my castle (made of sand). I'm the fool who wears the crown (made of thorns). I like passion. I like fun. I like seasons in the sun... No really, I do. Behind Summer, Spring is my second favorite season. Nevermind the bloody noses I get from the hot weather, or that pesky first sunburn & the itchiness that follows. I would take a warm afternoon with a cool breeze over a cup of hot chocolate and a christmas tree any day! That's the good thing about having your birthday in June. You have less than 6 months until each of the two significant days of the year. For fun I work out, or take Leisurely bike rides around the Biggest Little City. These bike rides make me so happy I splurged for a Mountain Bike. You see, the snowy winters tear up the roads like nothing I've ever seen before. I have shock-absorbers on the front tires of my bike, but I have to lift my body up to spare my ass the shock of the unforgiving terrain. Mind you, these are city streets I'm talking about. I take snapshots of this city, and its' ever-changing façade, but no matter how many face lifts it gets, it still looks like a white-trash town with a farmers tan. I read books (while laying out in the sun) about the west coast, and for hours can imagine I'm actually there - living "on the western edge of western civilization." Sunsets snap me back to reality, leaving me to discover that I'm back in this deteriorating valley, overridden by pimps, and hoes (real-life ones), infected with the the diseased thoughts that they might one day strike it rich on the Mega-Bucks machines that line the churches of their poisoned minds.

My Interests

Electronics. I love them all. When I was a kid I used to take things apart to see how they worked; then I could never put them back together.

Computers. The Age of Aquarius in its infancy. How did I live without the internet for the first 14 years of my life?!

Photography. Time held in place by a piece of paper - it fascinates me. For right now it is only a hobby of mine, I'd like to be a pro... maybe someday.

Fitness. The human form is a beautiful thing - Male and Female alike. I like to stay fit, so I run or bike around the city during the summertime. It helps me focus, and put aside that which really doesn't matter when you look at the bigger picture.

Words. What I lack in the emotional department I make up for with my ability to craft words into complete thoughts. I ramble and run-on, but in the end is a cohesive piece of art - that if had been written in Chinese Calligraphy - would be even more beautiful.

Family. The cosmic joke. God has a sinister sense of humor, luckily I can take a joke. I love them to death - but they can drive me crazy.

Friends. My moon crossed with these peoples' stars and held ice cream hands. Drip. Drop. Into the bowl that is MySpace.

I'd like to meet:


Music:

I'm a big RADIOHEAD listener. I think OK COMPUTER is brilliant. I listened to Pink Floyd, and Aerosmith before that. Vocal Trance is one of my favorites now. A playlist sprinkled with some achingly heartfelt vocals from Elliott Smith and some random oversampled 'Timberland produced' ditty would be fine for the drive to work, though.

Movies:

My top 22, in alphabetical order, of course; Almost Famous; American Beauty. Central Station. Clueless. Contact. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Eat, Drink, Man, Woman. Edward Scissorhands. Fight Club. Grave of the Fireflies. Heathers. Joy Luck Club. L.A. Story. The Mummy Returns. Muriel's Wedding. Pleasantville. Science of Sleep. Singles. Spaceballs. Starship Troopers. Trainspotting. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Hate 'em, Love 'em, I couldn't care less - those are the movies I like.

Television:

[adult swim] South Park - Daily Show Star Trek : TNG, Enterprise 7th Heaven; The Office; NewsRadio Saturday Night Live - MAD TV

Books:

I like to read Dean Koontz novels. His ability to get into the minds of the darkest of characters intrigues me. He also writes about places familiar to me. Nothing against Stephen King - but Dean writes about west-coast places. As we all know, it's all about the west coast.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ.
