About Me


I hate trying to sum myself up in a few lines, or even a paragraph. Not that I am so complicated and interesting that it can't be done, but I just find it to be a stupid exercise. But you know what? I'll tell you a bit about myself anyway.I'm a struggling young reporter living in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. I was born in York, PA, which I'm not all that proud of. I'm a strong believer in individualism and true freedom. I enjoy drinking though I don't consider myself an alcoholic, and I like shooting guns though I don't consider myself a gun nut. I also love movies and have tons of DVDs. I like to write poetry, I work part-time as a bouncer, I own a ghost corn snake, and I have a few tattoos. I also enjoy rock 'n' roll music and professional wrestling.I don't like cleaning my apartment, closed-minded people, banal sitcoms, and Coors Light. Besides that, there isn't a whole lot I don't like.If you really want to know more about me, drop me a line.

My Interests

Movies, horror, comedy, blasphomy, cities, guns, reptiles, snakes, knives, punk rock, rock 'n' roll, heavy metal, rockabilly, professional wrestling, poker, gambling, the Four Horsemen, Halloween, George Romero, Republicans, Libertarians, beer, wine, whisky, Scotch, bourbon, the legalization of just about everything, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Baltimore Orioles, positive human spirit, self-sufficiency, photography, poetry, writing, art, wolves, serial killers, Andy Kaufman, the idea of angels, the paranormal, spiders, funny stuff, pissing off hippies and squares, leaving comments on people's myspace pages while drunk...
