About Me

Hi. I'm Jason. I graduated from UNC Greensboro with a degree in Media Studies. Basically I got myself a film degree, which makes me completely unhirable for most jobs. I'm cool with that. Sitting in a cubicle is overrated anyway. I'm not sure I would have had the energy or patience to get a degree in something I hated like business or marketing. It's not really me. I love film and I couldn't watch all the movies I do if I had to work all the time. At least I'm getting my money's worth outta Netflix. Other than that I'm like most other people. Some things I like and somethings I don't. I eat, drink and sleep. And I get up everyday and do my thing. Oh yeah, one time I broke my foot basically in half while packing a suitcase. I couldn't walk for three months. Consequently, I kinda ruined both my brother's college graduation and his wedding. Crazy, huh?

My Interests

Movies, music, everything pop culture, some politics.

I'd like to meet:

Pretty much anyone who likes to have a good time. People who laugh a lot are a plus. But I'd wanna meet Dave Letterman, Jack White, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Sedaris and Wes Anderson. I'd also like to meet John Mayer just so I could walk up to him and say "Stop it. Just stop." And then just walk away. But most importantly I think I'd like to meet Tim Robbins and Sean Penn, so I could slap them both and say, "You're both idiots. Crazy ass idiots. You make Democrats look bad." Well maybe not Tim Robbins. He's a giant.

Heroes:

American Idol

Fox News vs Kurt Vonnegut

Ok straight out I should say that I'm not a fan of Fox News.  I know you're shocked.  It isn't the political bias that bothers me as much as the agenda setting that they do via rumor, heresa...
