About Me


a good portion of who i am can be surmised by my personal favorite quote:
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Interests

i like to think. a lot. i've been known to be rather absentminded once in a while because of that.
i have cranial A.D.D. - too many things interest me and it really sucks there isn't more time in the world to follow up on each and every one of them.

I'd like to meet:

GROOMSMEN GET DOWN!!

Music:

i'm all about the lyrics primarily, then the beat comes in at a distant second. i'm matchbox 20 and lifehouse at heart. A mix of Eminem, Train and U2 in the head. A bit of Metallica, Depeche Mode, New Order and Audioslave around the edges.
some notable mentions:

    Notorious B.I.G Tupac Keane the Fray Boyz II Men Ice Cube Live Dave Matthews Band The Cure Maroon 5 Goo Goo Dolls

among others... none of that "credit card in yo thong ms. booty!" crap that seems to be all over the place nowadays.
i also listen to a bunch of anime music here and there even though i have no clue what anyone's saying. probably one of the few exceptions to my affinity for songs with solid lyrics.
New Order's "True Faith" is still the best song ever.

Movies:

i guess i'm something of a movie geek. movies are my escape from work and everyday stress. one of the few times i can actually turn my mind off, i love being able to just soak in a different reality when i get a chance.
some of my favs:

    Pulp Fiction Top Gun 300 The Princess Bride American Beauty The Incredibles Toy Story (All) Spiderman (All) Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back 28 Days Later George Romero's Trilogy (Night, Dawn and Day... Land sucked.) Big Fish Fong Sai Yuk Reservoir Dogs Finding Nemo Donnie Darko Shrek Team America

and way way more.

Television:

when i can, i watch: heroes, smallville, the food network, the discovery channel and yes... so sue me... sometimes the history channel.
"when i can" meaning next to never.
most tv programming is crap anyways.

Books:

chances are you would fall asleep just reading the TITLES of the books i read. i do. sometimes.
"ender's game" is still one of my favorites.
i'll admit to it- comic books are my mythos.

Heroes:

George Washington, John Adams, Ben Franklin... that whole posse that started the Revolutionary War. Jacques Cousteau, Gandhi, Colin Powell, policemen, firefighters, my mother and father, Superman, Batman, Marv, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and my left nut.
