About Me

Come join me and my donkey Chico on this great adventure that we like to call life.
I'm your pretty typical, boring 22 year old guy who enjoys listening to music, going to shows, playing video games, rotting away online, and dancing furiously to "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson.
I work at Sam's Club. I'm one of the people who wanders around the building with a blank look in their eyes, moaning indecipherable phrases and cryptic messages that have been cemented into our brains by the evil walmart empire.
I am trying to take over the world. Click here to join the cause.
I am the quiet one. Until, you get to know me and the walls come down.
Music is my first love. I like whatever sounds good as it hits my ears. Feel free, however, to make yourself sound more hXc than me by naming off obscure bands and labels and subsequently relating their entire history and its overwhelming importance to the music scene today to my meek, unwilling ears.
I put everything in the freezer. I believe everything tastes better cold.
I'm Straight Edge, but I don't preach. I don't care what you put into your body, as long as you respect what I don't put in mine.
I am a writer. Of fiction. I take much too long to finish my projects.
In addition to listening to music, I sometimes make it. My inability to creatively coexist with like-minded young fellows closed my eyes on any ambitions of being in an actual band many moons ago, but as a hobby I create electronic/experimental music on my computer. You can listen to some super old stuff here . I am also in the process of writing music and lyrics for my foray into the world of NERDCORE hip hop. There will be a myspace for that some day.
My ambitions tend to be a little different from most people's. For instance, it is not a dream of mine to have lots of money or climb some corporate ladder and scratch off the goals in my five year plan (indeed, my plan falls more around the five day marker). I would rather like to be able to look back on any given day of my life and say that I was able to enjoy it, REGARDLESS of the circumstances, and hopefully that I was able to make it a bit more enjoyable for those around me as well.

    Look! It is a blog.

    Well, I figured I should probably go ahead and write a new blog. For one thing, I finally have a thing or two to talk about. Plus, my last one was a bit sad, and as it turns out, controversial. So, th...

    Who's working anyway? The population of this country is 300 million. 160 million are retired. That leaves 140 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school. Which leaves 55 mil...
