The people's revolution is gonna be a podcast.

About Me

About me? By god, that’s my favorite topic! I am pretty excellent! I go to the U, I love it! I’m double majoring in political science and sociology. There was a time that I hoped to get into law school, but the further I get in school the more I realize that law school probably isn’t for me! Maybe that will change! I love music! It’s inspiring and can dictate almost every point of a person’s life! Their fashion, their attitude, their lifestyle.....it’s just that damn cool! And it’s pretty pleasant on the ears too! I love my friends! They will do anything to put a smile on your face, like run down a hallway wearing nothing but chucks, a visor, and a smile while there’s a three alarm fire blazing on their ass! Or get drunk and go around stealing “Protection One” signs from people’s cabins! Or slap box each other buck ass naked in front of a fire! They may be lame, ugly, and stupid, but I have learned so much from them, and had one hell of a great time doing so! I wouldn’t trade them for the world! I’m kind of a cynic, but I’m a positive cynic so I believe I can still make a difference! Maybe I’m just naive! I tend to over-analyze things, but I have found that by doing so I see things much more clearly! I am easily impressed, little things go a long way with me! I love being around positive people, they can teach you so much simply based on their outlook of the world. As can negative people, but generally what I learn from negative people does not benefit me as much! Nevertheless I enjoy mostly everyone that I come in contact with! People are different and that’s excellent!

My Interests

Music, Chicks and men.....uhhhhh not men.....i take that shit back!

I'd like to meet:

People that are cooler than my friends, which shouldn't be tough cuz my friends are losers! Hear that bithces? Losers!

Music:

I listen to a lot of music, but by no means will I listen to "pretty much everything". But here are some that I dig the most: (however just a sample)Punk/Psychobilly Guttermouth, NoFx, Operation Ivy, Minor Threat, TSOL, The "mutha fuckin" Germs, Dead Kennedys, Descendents, Social D, Teen Idles, Bad Brains, Rancid, Anti-Flag, AFI, Authority Zero, Rise Against, D.O.A., Mad Sin, Godless Wicked Creeps, The Meteors, Frantic Flintstones, Henchman, Black Flag, Motorhead, Horrorpops, Nekromantix, Tiger Army, Bad Religion, Misfits, The Casualties, The Unseen, The Distillers, Dropkick Murphys, The Vandals, The Business, The Clash, Pennywise, Agnostic Front, Bouncing Souls, Flogging Molly, Transplants, The Alkaline Trio, Lars and the Bastards, Common RiderOther: The Mars Volta, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Jurassic 5, 311, Rage Against the Machine, Violent Femmes, Johnny Cash, Deftones, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (Victor Wooten is amazing), Gorillaz, Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, Pixies (thanks Ian), and lots more, but this getting lame!

Movies:

Movies are so damn lame! I have A.D.D., do you think I can sit for two hours and unravel the predictable plot of a lame ass movie? No Sir!

Television:

I love t.v. I don't know why, I mean I could watch tv all day, but not movies....go figure! hey i just figured out why i love tv........Family Guy, The Simpsons, Aqua Teen, Futurama, SeaLab, Harvey Birdman, and so many other fine programs!

Books:

I only read non-fiction cuz most fiction is lame. I just got done reading Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars that tell them," pretty great. Most Al Franken stuff is. Also I dig John Krakuer (probably butchered last name)

Heroes:

Not Pawl thats for damn sure. Ian, Nate, Matty, Mitch, Neil, Hank, Steph, and Craig are also people who are not my heroes. I dont play any insruments so no heroes there....but I do think Lemmy Kilminster is the punkest mother fucker of all time. Some other greats? Darby Crash, Mike Ness, Ian Mackaye, Jello Biafra, Lars Fredricksen, Ken Casey, and of course Fat Mike. *Note: in the interest of time many greats were left off the list!

Death and dying

Ignorance is bliss?

I hate ignorant people. So much is going on in the world and the majority of people don't seem to care, and the ones that do seem to care have their priorities seriously mixed up. Take for example thi...
