About Me

So I'm suppose to write something witty and sarcastic about myself that will remotely capture your attention and help you decide if you should add me or not. Yeah, well...i'm not going to do that. As much as I would love to blab about how weird I am I don't have the energy to do so. You see, myspace is all about a popularity contest. Joe Schmo has 1,000 friends...oh whoopie-do! Congratulations. You are SO much better than I will ever be!!!! *bows in praise* I tried to play the game-I was sent down in flames. I'm left to be a virtual bitch by limiting those that I add. I WILL NOT add band requests. I leave the distinction to adding a band to myself, because I have better judgement of my taste in music than most of you. So you can try as you might by requesting an add and I'll have no problems in just clicking delete every single time. As far as individual profiles, I'll have to see that there is something remotely in common to add to my grand list.

One of my pet peeves is having to deal with males who prefer to use phrases such as "yo baby". I'm not sure this is obvious to you or not but I don't work at a strip club or Hooters. Your ghetto-ness is not impressing me at all. I know some of you think you can have hos in every area code, but please don't even let me know you are interested in including me in the bunch. I'm not impressed by your tatoos or how many whores you have as friends. I don't care how big [or small] your package is. I don't care if you drive a beemer. I don't care how much money you steal. There are other things that I deem more impressive about a person. Lets get something crystal clear here, I'm single and NOT LOOKING!! I have better conversations with myself than with some of you peeps. Don't waste my precious time! Pretty lame to have to look for someone on myspace, don't ya think? Get a life peeps! FYI, My Mr.Right is taken and his replacement does not exist...yes, the fat lady has sung. c'est la vieSo this is what i'm mainly all about, take it or leave it biatches----I like prog rock, post rock, experimental music.Bands: Rush, Porcupine Tree, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, The Tea Party, Silverchair, Tool, A Perfect Circle, The Album Leaf, Aereogramme, Travis, Opeth, My Dying Bride, Telefon Tel Aviv, The Rasmus, HIM, Marillion, Queensryche, Blackfield, Pineapple Thief, Slint, Dream Theater, Oceansize, Air, Massive Attack, Ulver, Dimmu Borgir, 30 Seconds to Mars, Isis, !!!, The Cranberries, Dishwalla, Gin Blossoms, No-man, Kino, IEM, Bass Communion, The Mars Volta, Defacto, Royksopp, The Dissociatives, The Velvet Teen, Phoenix, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson (exluding the strangeness), Lionel Richie, Fobia, Caifanes, Mana, La Ley, Soda Stereo, Heroes del Silencio, Travis, A-ha,Moonspell, Riverside, Transatlantic, The Gathering, Eight, Dredg, Built to Spill, Sondre Lerche, Rage Against The Machine, old Metallica, Megadeth, Creed, Alter Bridge, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, A Silver Mt.

Rugby- I go for the All Blacks of New Zealand.These are a few adjectives that describe me (at least after taking some time consuming .. quiz):depressed, introverted neat needs things to be extremely clean observer perfectionist not self revealing does not make friends easily suspicious irritable hates large parties follows the rules worrying does not like to stand out fragile phobic submissive dislikes leadership cautious takes precautions focuses on hidden motives good at saving money (ha! yeah right!)solitary familiar with the dark side of life hard working emotionally sensitive prudent altruistic heart over mind unadventurous Nice huh?

My Interests

concert going, player-hater

I'd like to meet:

Steven Wilson (again), Chris Maitland, all the members of Rush, Tom Cruise, Steve Hogarth, Roberto Baggio, Peque Benitez, Maynard James Keenan, Bruce Soord, Steve "Stumpy" Thomas, Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Steve Rucchin, Scott Stevens, Gael Garcia Bernal, Henrik Larsson, Jose Luis Chilavert, Francisco "Chiqui" Arce, Nelson Cuevas...and any other amazing individual...albeit with DAMN GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC. I'd also like to meet people with artistic talent in whatever form. My fate in life based on the career that I have chosen has me surrounded by people with left brain dominance. You can say that I am a closet right brained individual who has been forced to train the left side of the brain more than the right. I tend to gravitate towards those who are creative since I have been stagnant in my own creativity. Anyone who is open-minded, willing to hear things from a non-religious point of view, and who is thought provking. Rock on!
