LOL, MySpace. People keep telling me to fill in this "About Me" section. About me? Odds are, if you’re reading this page, you know me anyway. Unless you’re a band. In which case, you’ve probably got better band-y things to do than read this page. Right? Right.
Annnnyway… Yeah. I’m Gary. I’m pretty much, y’know, awesome. I’m going to UMass Boston right now, studying English and graphic design. This’ll be obvious if you hang around me for a while. I abuse the hell out of my pirated $700 copy of Adobe Photoshop, and will occasionally write out long rants with little or no point or provocation. But hey.
I also listen to way too freakin’ much music, particularly of the punk or ska variety. This has caused friends, family, and co-workers to avoid my car, particularly the ones who enjoy music with vocalists who know how to sing. I’m kinda sorta addicted to going to local concerts, and subsequently getting the crap beat out of me by jumping in the pit with lots of guys twice my size. My girlfriend thinks I’m crazy.
Speaking of. I’m kinda sorta addicted to her too. Her name’s Lotta, and she is better than you. Deal with it. She puts up with me, the stubborn and cynical bastard that I am. I love her for it. She kinda likes me too, I think.
I’m currently employed at your friendly neighborhood Best Buy, as a supervisor in the customer service-y area. So basically, if you come in and start acting like an angry douche, I get to go over and calm you down. Or make you madder and then laugh about it after you leave. Depends on my mood.
My car is my home. 2002 Kia Spectra. Represent, bitches. Lessee… I’ve been to Canada, 6 or 7 different states, mountains, and stayed up all night driving to various 7-11s throughout the Boston area in it. Somehow it’s survived. Although I do need to get some new tires, and my inspection sticker is 7 months overdue as of this writing. Maybe this’ll remind me to get on that. It’s truly a wonder that I haven’t been pulled over yet.
It is entirely plausible that I will die of caffeine poisoning. Energy drinks are my lifeblood. I’m an insomniac to the nth degree, and going to bed at 4 am then rising at 7 for classes doesn’t always work out too well. Red Bull helps.
I fucking love life. My philosophy? Don’t take life, or yourself, too seriously. I used to do both, and was not the happiest guy alive. I’ve since changed my ways. I laugh at myself, I laugh with my friends, and I laugh at the world, without worrying about what anyone else is gonna think of me. I’m a goddamn happy person for it, and things are a hell of a lot more fun. I’m pretty easygoing, and tend not to fight with people, but I will stand up to the end for my friends and for the things I believe in.
Yeah… That’s about it. For now. Now stop yelling at me to fill in the “About Me†section. Now excuse me, I’ve gotta go delete the 15 free iPod comments I’ve gotten during the duration of this writing. Fucking MySpace.
