i've seen a million faces, and i've rocked them all.

About Me



I find pleasures in both the absurd and the mundane. When the two converge on the same astral plain, I've found my special place.

I'm a huge dork.

My Interests



An Abbreviated Timeline of Pete Bune's Social Networking History --
2002: Introduced to Friendster by Matt Roren
2003: Shoehorned onto Myspace by Jacob Stebel
2008: After months of cajoling by friends and roommate, Pete Bune is similarly shoehorned onto Facebook, this time by his co-worker Pati.

The preceding section is part of the Appendix to my upcoming Biography entitled, "Pete Bune- The Life and Times of the world's greatest Thrill-ipino" - Jacob Stebel

I'd like to meet:


Every Wolfman Needs A Lady.

I love talking about film and cinema. When I can find someone who can talk endlessly about movies, I've found a friend for life. Everything I learned about life, love, growing up, dying, right, and wrong comes from watching a million movies...because it encompasses all the important creative mediums. In movies you have the perfect collaboration of music, acting, and writing...even fashion in wardrobe and art in set design. It's the perfect marriage of creativity and entertainment. I love watching movies and I love making movies.
Audrey Hepburn

Zooey Deschanel

I actually heard that in the uncut version of the bible God stares into Zooey Deschanel's eyes for inspiration before creating Man and the Earth.
I have met Milla Jovovich...and she's the epitome of rad peeps.

It is of paramount importance that you open your soul to someone who will never exploit or black-mail you…someone who sees you objectively and yet has the holiness to see through your tricks with her or him and more importantly, with your own self. You can NEVER grow as a human being all alone, without the helping hands of one who has struggled herself. And beware, seek not someone who is too close or with whom the relationship may sour if you stop seeking direction. & please for God’s sake don’t go hunting for holiness — everyone is flawed like you and I…
