About Me

... it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much...-And then I remember ... to relax, and not try to hold on to it. And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. Don't worry ... you will someday.

Television:

24, Flight of the Concords, Dexter, The Riches, American Gladiators (guilty pleasure) The Shield, Six Feet Under, Entourage, Damages, Family Guy, The Office both the U.S./U.K. versions are equally awesome. Carnival, Def Poetry, Family Guy, Arrested Development, Tales From the Crypt, The Wonder Years, Chappelle Show and Conan O Brien

Books:

I am apart of the 1 in 4 who didn't read a book this year. It's kinda sad. I need to read more,Chuck Palhunikk "Choke" was great and the last thing read was "Haunted" which is exactly what I was after I read it. It's traumatizing, but amazing.

Heroes:

It's sad that most heroes only exist in shitty comic books. I do have a few though,most notably, my dad, He's 5'6 and weighs less then me but he's the strongest person I'll ever know. He is the reason I am not cynical and will never lose hope in the future. I don't know who I'd be without him.
