Wobiniâ„¢: The One & Only

I'm a complete success...at failure

About Me


Pimp out your webpage with PimpWebpage

I am Adam Michael Wellendorf aka Wobini, Adam Number 1, Wobinski, Dorf, and all sorts of other nicknames I don‘t feel like listing. Seriously, I‘ve got like 20. If you'd like to learn more, then read on, my dear reader, read on! If not, that's fine too.
I was born and raised on a farm in the great state of Illinois. My family and I are not farmers, we just happened to live there. Thanks Grandma! Besides myself, Illinois also spawned such delightful characters as Mary Todd, who went incredibly insane, but for very good reasons, and John Wayne Gacy Jr., who would kidnap people, dress up as a clown, and murder them. FUN! Ancient Illinoisans entertained themselves by fending off attacks from Black Hawk Indians, but that got boring after awhile, so they did the first thing that came to mind: Wiped out their entire civilization. Years later, they realized this may not have been the nicest thing to do, so we named our hockey team after them as compensation.
I spent most of my younger years a loner with few to no friends, reading books, playing video games, and avoiding the cool kids who had some odd obsession with my underwear and would either pull my underwear up or my pants down to see. Those crazy cool kids.
Sometime after High School I discovered alcohol, and thus became cool myself, made lots of friends, and my underwear was no longer much of an issue. I went to DeVry studying Electronics for a year, but decided that wasn't for me and quit. I then went to my local community college while continue to work at a call center for Playboy Products (clothing, DVDs, back issues, that sort of thing) before I decided I didn't want to do that anymore, so quit both those places and joined the Navy. Decided that wasn't for me and quit that after a year, which technically you’re not allowed to do, but I got away with it because I am Adam and God loves me.
After that I came back to work for Playboy, now Infinity Resources Inc., worked my way up to supervisor, got annoyed with the fact that if other people fucked up it was my fault, found what I hoped would be a better job, and so quit there too. At my new place, I talk to people who requested information about the Online University I work for, and long story short try to get them to enroll in my school. It's not bad, money is fricken great, and, for those who want to go to school, I am helping them make their lives better, which I enojoy. The downside is that I am expected to enroll so many people a month, which is really up to them, so once again I find myself being judged on what other people do or don't do. *sigh*
People tell me I'm nice, funny, laid back, a huge smartass, generous, caring, and all sorts of other good things. I'm the kinda guy who will drive an hour to pick up a friend who needs a ride and want nothing in return. In regards to being a smartass thing, 'I' think it's obvious when I'm joking and when I'm being serious. As a general rule of thumb, if something 'could' be taken as a joke, chances are I was joking. It's very rare that I would actually want to piss someone off, so don't take me to seriously. Also, for some reason, the better mood I'm in or the more I'm enjoying someone's company, the bigger a smartass I become, I don't know exactly why that is, but it's true. However, I am aware that not everyone out there gets the whole smartass sense of humor, so I try to tone it down around people that aren't smart enough to understand it. And now some more about me.
I have very eclectic tastes, I can get into just about anything, and thus seem to be able to get along with pretty much everyone. If I remember my fantasy novels correctly, my combination of caring and non-judgment makes me a lot like Jesus. However unlike JC, I really am white. Hehe, no worries, he knows I'm just playin. While I don't necessarily consider my goodness to be a bad thing, as we all know, nice guys finish last, and thus I never get the pussy.
I think the root of my kindness comes from reading way to many books and playing to many video games as a child where the hero saves the world and all that fun stuff. While I have no intention of trying to save the world (it is a diaper, and like all diapers, I feel someone else should change it) if I am in a situation where I can help someone, but don't, I feel guilty about it, and thus 9/10 times will always go out of my way to help other people. Not so surprisingly, given everything else, honor and honesty are big things with me, if I say I'm going to do something, I do it, unless something honestly comes up that prevents me from doing so. My biggest pet peeve are people who say they're going to do something, but don't, even as minor as saying I'll call you but they forget. I'm also a huge advocate of freedom and free will, and will fight for both at the drop of a hat and piss upon any who would take it away from another.
I dislike people who are hypocrites, racist, sexist, anti-gay, liars, illogical (It's this way cause I say it's this way, and that's enough!) lack will power (any addiction, really), are arrogant, cocky, and ignorant, but think they know everything. I know what I know, and make no claims to knowing anything more. I hate thieves in regards to people stealing other peoples personal possessions, but don't have any problem with people ripping off major corporations. That might sound hypocritical to anyone who views the world as black and white and thinks stealing is stealing, but you're wrong. When it comes to personal possessions, you wouldn't want someone to take your stuff, so you shouldn't take theirs. However major corporations have lots of money, and if someone is smart enough to figure out how to get something out of them for nothing, then props to them. It's little/no cost for the company and potentially major gain for the thief, who obviously needs it or wouldn't be stealing in the first place. No harm done means I don't care.
One of my other biggest pet peeves are people who stay in relationships that just don't make sense. Example: Girl is in a relationship with a douche bag of a guy who treats her like shit, but stills stays with him for some reason, like fear of being alone or thinks she can change him....Bullshit! Theirs nothing wrong with, and a lot of pluses, to being single, and no one has the right to change anyone, they have to do that for themselves.
I could start a huge relationship rant right here but I won't, once I start writing I have trouble stopping, if you've actually read all the way to this point you've probably figured that out by now. Thus, dear reader, I shall end this here for now, though I'll most likely update this as things change or I just feel like it. Ta!

My Interests

Anything I find interesting, which is almost everything.

PARTY: Beer, Hard liqour, wine, herbage...it all goes in my body and leads to fun times. I'm always up for a party, though I only get wasted wasted WASTED if I'm at my house or crashing where I'm at. I'm not stupid.

Read: Love reading, see below.

Music: Also love music, see below.

Video games: LOVE video games. Systems made by Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony...don't matter, I own them all. Love RPG's the most, but play pretty much everything. Final Fantasy is definitely a fav, as is the Legend of Zelda series, Resident Evil, Legacy of Kain, Halo...Link and I will kick anyones ass at Super Smash Brothers, bring it on bitches!

Cartoons/Anime: Family Guy, Simpsons, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Record of Lodoss War, Escaflowne, Aqua Teen, futurama, Sealab 2021, Perfect Hair, 12 oz. Mouse...thank God for Adult Swim.

I'd like to meet:

Hmmm.....Princess Zelda.

Music:

I LOVE music. It gives me more joy then most things in this world. Certain songs/bands/types of music just seem to stir something in my soul. Hard for me to find that with country (my cousin wife never left me for the dog), and certain hip-hop/rap (I don't have 50 million dollars for bling and probably wouldn't smack bitches if I did).

Like everything else, my taste has a very wide range. For example, my two favorite bands are easily Guster, very mellow and relatively unknown, and System of a Down, heavy and widely popular. I also like Linkin Park, Jeff Buckley, Damien Rice, The Decemberist, The Mars Volta, Jimmy Eat World, The All-American Rejects, No Doubt, Postal Service, Simon & Garfunkel, The Frames, Radiohead, Offspring, t.a.T.u, Enigma, The Beatles, Classical music in general, especially O Fortuna by Carl Orff and Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, Limp Bizkit (old stuff), NIN, Rage against the Machine, Rob Zombie, The Killers, Evanescence, Bloodhound Gang, Korn, Disturbed, Gorillaz, Slipknot, Black Eyed Peas, Eminem...will add more as I think of them or discover them.

While I admit their are certain musical genes I don't really lean towards, I hate when people are in to only certain types of music and despise everything else out there. Open your minds people! All forms of music take a form of talent to create, maybe it's not something that sounds particularly pleasing to you, but that's just your opinion, that doesn't mean the artist didn't do a good job making it. I can go to any party/social setting with any style of music playing and enjoy it, which I find a lot better then being a person who will go somewhere, hear a certain style of music being played, not like it because it's not one of the one or two genres they actually enjoy, and thus have a bad time because of it.

Movies:

I'm not very judgemental when it comes to movies, I'll watch pretty much anything and be entertained. A few favs that come to mind off the top of my head are Napolean Dynamtite, Garden State, GO, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Boondock Saints, Eternal Sunshine, True Romance, the Alien Series...I'm not even gonna bother to continue. Sci-fi, Horror, Mystery, Drama, Chick Flicks, Comedys, it's all good.

Television:

Don't really watch two much TV. Buffy, Angel, and Firefly were the only ones I ever really really got into that I would make sure I was home to watch at their scheduled time. All the previously mentioned cartoons as well. Adult Swim rocks the socks.

Books:

Dragonlance! Anything by Margaret Weis and/or Tracy Hickman. Terry Brooks, Pier Anthony, David Weber, Robert Jordan, R.A. Salvatore, all good too. C.S. Lewis, the whole Chronicles of Narnia. I can get into really anything Fantasy/Sci-Fi. I am never not going through a book. The day I finish the one I'm reading, I get a new one, no lie, anyone who works with me and sees me at lunch can attest to this hehe.

Heroes:

Can heroes have heroes?
~Guardian Angel~
A protecter. A fighter. A defender. You will do
anything to protect the ones you care about.
You wll even self sacrafice yourself for them.
You think they deserve more than you, and you

you can.
A guardian, will help,
physically and also emotionaly, But they will
also protect themselves.
Weapon:Sword
"I will die to protect, to know that.. i
have done this for those i care about"

What is the angel form of your spirit?
