About Me

I'm a friendly guy who likes good company, aspires always to be better, and lives life in the moment, for the moment, and for myself and those I consider a part of me. Nothing special. If there are details you seek, then you must search. You must prepare for an endeavor unlike any other...and try, to your best ability, to actually get to know me, instead of trying to second guess a spot in MySpace in some desperate attempt to find someone who just might seem appealing. That's what I'm all about. Why else would I join MySpace? I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

I have many interests. Most of them are quite mundane, and I will refrain from sharing them. To humor you--creative writing, song writing, graphic design, music, film, martial arts, cooking and alcohal (I like the taste much more than the sensation).

I'd like to meet:

I don't know who, really, but friends for the long haul.

Music:

the John Butler Trio, Aerosmith, the Doors, the Beatles, the Band, Cream, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Deep Purple, Robert Johnson, B.B. King, Led Zeppelin, AC/DCNirvana, Soundgarden, Blindmelon, Marcy Playground, Audioslave, Shinedown, the White Stripes, Black Sabbath, Avenged Sevenfold, Godsmack, Matchbox 20 (the first album), Three Doors Down, Fuel, Silverchair, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, the Wallflowers, Alice in Chains, System of a Down, Korn (older material), Tool, A Perfect Circle (more so than Tool), Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver, Counting Crows, Talking Heads, Jethro Tull, the Edgar Winter Band, Hootie and the Blowfish, Blues Traveler, Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ani DiFranco, Fiona Apple, Torie Amos, the Verve, Beck, Nine Inch Nails, Guns and Roses, Santana, Metallica, Pantera, Judas Priest, Megadeth...2 Pac. I'm sure there's more.

Movies:

the Shawshank Redemption, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Thank You for Smoking, King Kong, Yojimbo, the Last Man Standing, the Seven Samurai, Waiting, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers, Hero, Fearless, Serendipity, High Fidelity, Gross Point Blank, the Fifth Element, the Thing (the ONLY horror movie where the characters do things that actually make sense), Fatal Instinct (most spoofs), Gladiator, Braveheart, the Matrix (the original), the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Harry Potter series, Kung Pow, Pooty Tang, V for Vendetta, with the exception of Daredevil and Electra and the art direction of the Hulk--comic book adaptations movies, most horrors, many actions, assorted comedies, history, and many documentaries. I've been told I like every movie--this is almost true, but by no means do I think that every movie is good. Worst movies ever made--Too Fast Too Young and Eragon.

Television:

Lost, Futurama, the Simpsons, the Boondocks, Family Guy, American Dad, Southpark, Drawn Together, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Scrubs, Samurai Jack, Firefly, Home Movies, Daria, Quantum Leap, the Cosby Show, Rosanne, Fresh Prince (Nic-at-Nite), and I apologize for these, but the Gilmore Girls, American's Next Top Model, and Project Runway (sad, sad, sad sad news...), Prison Break, Heroes, the Twilight Zone, the Outer Limits, the X-Files, Most Extreme Elimination, Whose Line is it Anyway?, the Office, Dead Like Me, Six Feet Under, House, That 70's Show, the Drew Carey Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, the King of Queens, All About Jim, the War at Home...simply put--all of them? I don't like watching it for it's source material I can always mock it, and that's always run, right?

Books:

anything Terry Brooks (Landover is his best, by far), Brust, Hughart, OSC, Pratchett, Gemmel, Jordan, Modesit, Goodkind (up to book three, I think--then everything is the same thing), Tolkien (has good stories to tell but sucks at telling them), Kay, Beckett, the House of Leaves, Michael Moorcock (Melinbone, not the fat guy), Turtledove, Steinbeck, Wells, and Fitzgerald. I love stories, but I hate to read...

Heroes:

My friends. They're wonderful people. You know who you are.

Resolution

I would say New Year's Resolution, but it's not because of the New Year. I'm making a change because I feel I should, not because it's a fad that people pretend to commit to once a year...I'm starting...

My Life Lately

It seems that I've lost touch with life a little.  Every day, I work.  Every night, I slam back a bottle of hard al or a case of beer and go to bed.  I've got friends, and I see to...

Countdown--

Tonight, I sleep alone.  Two weeks to go without the warmth of my better half.  I guess all that I have left are a bunch of friends who couldn't care less, but at least the lot of us can par...

Blog

Myspace has always been good to me.  I get to see some friends, hear about what's going on, and get a heads up on parties (that I never go to), but I've been so busy with work and school that I'v...

Something's wrong.

Earlier today, I got to thinking about some things and that led me to consider certain aspects of my life--friends, family, work, school, living...I'm not sure what I have to worry about, or what's wr...

Moolah...

I'm running into some money soon.  I'm going to spend it too.  All of it.  Maybe not at once.  Maybe not at the same place...but all of it will go away, and to take its place, shal...

Man (or woman--this conflict of nonsexual expression could very well be grounds for another blogging sometime in the future), am I bored.  I'm so damn bored that all I can do to stay myself is ac...

One good looker.

Alright...so I go to McDonalds for breakfast (fuck--there goes my kudos), and I sit at a table by the far wall.  I'm positioned parallel to the window, and adjacent to the isle on the other side,...

Blogging

I took a look at my profile, and realized--hey, I don't see any new blogs!  Although that's a rather sad assessment (not the having no blogs, but caring that I don't...), it's true, nonetheless, ...
