I don't have the chops for this.

About Me

My mom says I'm special. I think she's biased, though.

My Interests

Boring stuff, mostly.

I'd like to meet:

Eh. I'm kinda over it.

Music:

Recently I've been listening to the new Taking Back Sunday, Bullet for my Valentine, Far, Vendetta Red, 30 Seconds to Mars, Boys Night Out, Every Time I Die, Lifetime, Rival Schools, Thrice, Twelve Tribes, Farside. I just bought the Still Life double LP on CD off of EBay. I've been beating it to death ever since.

Movies:

I like movies with guns or swords. Both is even better. Low brow comedies with dick and fart jokes, too.

Television:

Family Guy, Lost, Scrubs, Sopranos, War at Home, The Office, My Name is Earl, CSI, baseball, and random History Channel and Discovery Channel shows. And anything in high definition. Seriously, you'd be surprised what a person will watch if it's in HD. See my blog post about giraffes for a perfect example.

Books:

Most people would find the books the read horrendously boring. If you pull the string on my back I'll go on and on about them even after your eyes have glassed over.

Heroes:

Pretty good show. Started slow, got really good, built up towards a sick ending--then dropped the ball. Such a disappointment.

Giraffes

Last night I watched a Nature channel special on giraffes (I told you that I would watch anything if it was in high definition).  I've never really noticed what bizarre animals they are.  Th...

Gays Ruined Sudafed

I've got a bit of a stuffed up nose right now.  So, I went to the store to get some Sudafed.  Turns out that Sudafed is now kept behind the pharmacy counter in stores.  The main in...

My New Roommate

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce everyone to my new roommate.  It was a grueling process to weed through the list of prospects.    http://tv.rca.com/en-US/ModelDetail...

I Thought the70's Were Over

There are always a bunch of war protestors on the main road in to Highland Park from New Brunswick.  Not hippie college students but old people and their tired slogans who wish it was still the 7...

Orlando

I'm watching the Yankees/Angels game on the fancy LCD tv in my hotel room in Orlando.  I'm down here for work.  Don't ask why.  You're eyes would glass over if I tried to tell you. ...

For 60 Minutes Last Night

For 60 minutes last night I was 19 again.  For 60 minutes last night I didn't have to see a lawyer tonight for court Thursday night.  I didn't need to scrounge up $115 for an engineering exa...
