About Me

I'm a creative dude. I love all types of art and practice a few. But my handwriting sucks and I can barely draw a straight line. Photography is my passion... actually, just making cool things to look at is my passion. I love music and you can always find me listenin' to it. I like to listen to it. I REALLY listen to it. I despise people who use music - someone else's art - as background noise.I like to stay up late, but I hate having to get up early. I get geeked off of technology.
I'm a self-teacher. I can be determined, if I choose to be. I usually get what I want, if I want it bad enough
Coffee is hands-down my favorite drink. I also like non-alcoholic beer. Beck's is my favorite.I hate yardwork with more than a passion.
I have a twin brother. I hate tucking my shirt in. He does too.
I like to cook good food and share it with the people I love. I think I'm pretty cool, I guess.

My Interests

Photography, graphic design, music - Hip Hop first..., cooking, football, technology, art, style, beautiful scenery, cuddling, being a good friend and man in general. I like to read, but can't find nearly as much time to do it as I'd like to. T.V. is so much more convenient. Coffee, reading, progression, helping people, and getting on people's nerves with boring conversation about these stupid interests.

I'd like to meet:

Charles Bukowski, Chuck D, Billy Gates, Method Man, Tupac Shakur, Bob Marley, Noam Chomsky, Zack Morris, Mr. Rogers, Corey Haim and Feldman at the same time, Jesus Christ.
