About Me

A note about my top eight:This top eight consists solely of who I talk to the most often, for whatever reason, in no particular order. It does not take into account older friends who I still feel very connected with and would love to talk to more if only I saw them more often. It does not take into account even more recent friends whom I've stopped talking to for similar reasons involving us just seeing less of eachother. It has nothing to do with who I respect, who I admire, who I trust. These are the people that call me on the phone sometimes. Most of them....except for ____UPDATE FOR TO YOU READ:It has recently been pointed out to me that that's actually not the method used to find these people. In fact, it is my bottom four. The grandest douchebags I know from grandpapa douche to the wee skanky douchette. Half of them don't even have a top friends themselves. scuzzbags.Who I'm supposed to. Who I'm not supposed to. Who I'll always be friends with, and who I'll regret meeting.Not some people though. I'm not sure about you.

My Interests

Music. Playing and writing music and lyrics. Trying not to make the aformentioned music and lyrics terribly shitty. Stand-up comedy (as I did it for about two years), and many other things that you'll slowly discover, unless you won't.

I'd like to meet:

People who easily have my respect, but don't particularly need it.

Music:

Not Everything. Also, Music isn't life. Although it may be an interpretation.Weezer, The Strokes, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Ozma, The Postal Service, Pixies, Hot hot heat, Les Savy Fav, Arctic Monkeys, The Presidents of the United States of America, Death Cab for Cutie, Cake, Mindless Self Indulgence, Ben Folds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Franz Ferdinand, Early No Doubt, Regina Spektor, The Shins, flaming lips, Muse, bright eyes, Doors, Beatles, The Killers, Neutral Milk Hotel, Modest Mouse, Interpol, Harvey Danger, Yo La Tengo? The Unicorns Supernegro? The Lemonheads? The Fratellis My Bloody Valentine Shiny Toy guns...and many more. maybe.

Movies:

Well, I honestly do like a lot of the cult-smash movies around there, so, sorry for looking like I spun the wheel of indie/emo/young scenester must-haves.Little Miss Sunshine, Office Space, Anchorman, Big Fish, Donnie Darko, Labrynth, I have to give homage to Monty Python and their movies. Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and the like. This is Spinal TapGOOD DAY, SIR!Also, Tim Burton movies are pretty sweet...and these are some movies that I've seen parts of, but wish to see in their entirety:The 1st Star wars, as in, the fourth if you follow the story up to it.Good Will HuntingOthers

Television:

The following was written when I used to watch TV. See, I'm not anti-TV or anything. I love certain shows, and can tolerate many others. I just feel like there are important things I need to do instead. Things that can make a difference. Like myspace.They..CANCELED...friends.Scrubs, The Office, This is what I pop on the television currently, I'm not going to dish out all of that good nostalgia like "Are you Afraid of the Dark", "Dexter's Lab", "Pete and Pete", "Rocko's Modern Life", "Daria", and the like.My name is Earl, Extras, The Daily Show, Beauty and the Geek, Dr.Who (really, really cheesy), Best Week Ever, House (...once..), Saturday Night Live (usually) when a good band is on),And I'll check out fuse and the like every once in a while. Not a huge fan of T.V., though, to be honest.Oh, and, five years ago or so I was hopped up on a "hooray dane cook and family guy fo'ever" thing, which are both funny to this day, (though at least one of them is sickeningly over-rated), but my major interest in them seemed to take an invisible bus out of my mind and into a frat-house.

Books:

This was all written a while ago, too.a-recently I read:Blink (updated)deathly hallows (updated)Running With ScissorsGood OmensThe Great GatsbyThey were all pretty good. Someone told me I should check out 'Odd Thomas'. I might do that.Has anyone heard of these games? (see, mega screen-crack):Super Mario RPG Grandia II Ogre BattleI played them as a wee sprite. They were bitchdiculously cool. For. School..People Say That.Oh, and now and again I go to homestarrunner, Derrickcomedy, or toothpastefordinner.

Heroes:

Also a pretty good show.Right, this used to say "Myself, hence the constant attempts at laser vision". I guess that's an alright answer.I don't have heros as much as I just admire certain people. I think it's cool when people hold themselves up to their own standard, yet still surpass everyone else's. Also, nightcrawler is the fuckin' shit.On another note, If I were to wear a cape, I would probably have to get it embroidered with "please don't mug me, sirs", but it wouldn't help the cause. Flying would be sweet. Worst Supervillan name ever: Lord Of the Dance. That's not true...if I were to honestly answer the worst supervillain name ever question, it'd have to be like, "Raspberry fun-hug". Sure, people would avoid him, but probably not fear. probably not much fear.I admire people, but I couldn't call anyone my hero...it's a bit too dependant, you know? unless somebody actually saved my life. Then I might throw something in about them. Let's watch it unfold. yeah.Some quotes:To be positive at all times is to ignore all that is important, sacred or valuable. To be negative at all times is to be threatened by ridiculousness and instant discredibility. -Kurt Cobainand who can forget escalator quotes!An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience". Mitch Hedberg The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service. We have become a self-service populace, and all our specious comforts --the automatic elevator, the escalator, the cafeteria --are depriving us of volition and moral and physical energy. Edward Dahlberg Life is an escalator: You can move forward or backward; you can not remain still. Patricia Russell-McCloud If I have to move up in a building, I choose the elevator over the escalator. Because one time I was riding the escalator and I tripped. I fell down the stairs for an hour and a half.Special Note: None of these are as some of the quotes and things in my friends' profiles...check out some of them. That Odd Thomas quote is still awesome.Oh, yeah, I forgot this one. When you're talking to a fan, you're talking to somebody who's not talking to you. They're talking to a photograph, they're talking to their image of you, they're talking to a walking poster. And if you make the mistake of thinking, that they're talking to you... When they tell you that you're a genius, or that you're so fucking cool... Or whatever their fucking image is of you... Then if you believe it... Then you, the real human being dies. - 1997
