About Me

As I sat here for a good few minutes editing my profile, I wished I could have written something that would leave people speechless and in complete awe. Something meaningful. Something whitty. Something funny. Something memorable. But unfortunately I remained blank. Completely empty.It's the dreaded "About Me" column. I tried being generic before and pasted irrelevent facts about myself. But reading over it, I felt silly. "Bashful yet Brash" wtf is that? Who isn't? Nothing stood out, and it bothered me. So damn mediocre. So like everyone else. With all pretense aside, I don't know what I am all about, and i'm not going to fill this box furthermore with predictable facts about myself. Yes, I am a student. Yes, I enjoy sports. Yes, I am Russian. But so what, and who cares?I'd hope to get judged past the self-promotion and stylized first impression of a little internet box, but instead by someone who'd put in enough effort to know all my black and all my white qualities, because chances are they are different for every person I am aquainted with. Who knows, I might even have a few grays in between. Myspace Layouts + Myspace Graphics

Music:

Alternative rock, punk rock, indie rock, Brit rock, love metal, industrial, trance/techno, New age/Ambient.

Movies:

I love thrillers. Movies that are suspense driven. Anything that makes me think long after the film is over. I like movies that leave a lasting impression. Sort of like requim for a dream, kiss the girls, life as a house, pulp fiction, fight club...etc. Also luv art + indy films that just totally weird u out and make u sit there trying to decipher the theme of the movie.

Television:

...is the root of insecurity, escapism and withdrawl.

Books:

Psychological fiction novels like;"White Oleander" by Janet Fitch and "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb.Also Classics such as Homer's "The Odyssey" + "Iliad" and Virgil's "Aeneid."

Heroes:

My sweetest of sweet grandmother
