About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorYou know me...
Or you don't.

I like trivia, and am fascinated by random knowledge... And how most people can remember that much crap!
I have been known to forget everything I read and am told... Not the best thing in the world, but probably the result of a misspent youth.

Which Oz character are YOU?

My Interests

i like to watch people... not in a creepy stalkerish way, just observing how bizarre we humans can be...
cooking, wine, tattoos, reading, writing, photography, music, movies, beer, booze, dames (one dame in particular), travelling, playing pool, and erratic behavior are some of my general interests.

"fuck shoes"

I'd like to meet:

The guy with the green hat.

I'm looking for validation via scads of bands and television shows taking up the majority of my 200+ friends. Knowing that I was Dane Cook's 97,983rd friend has made my day brighter, and makes me realize that I have reason to live!

Seriously, I like meeting new people...
I would be interested in reconnecting with folks from the past that I have not seen or heard from in ages. I'm pretty bad at keeping in touch.

Music:

I could list a bunch of bands here... But that would take too long. I like metal, reggae, punk, hardcore, rock n roll, good country (i.e. old stuff), jazz, classical, hip hop, and a few dj's work. Basically, I like a bit of everything.

Movies:

Anything in technicolor...

...or not

Television:

LOST, Boondocks, My Name is Earl, The Office (Brit and Amer), I'll watch just about anything. I tend to ignore the TV while I'm reading.

goodbye

This is my first blog in a long time. It's purpose is to say goodbye to my mother. I know she's watching me from wherever she is saying "I'm proud of that young man". I couldn't ask for anything more....
