Yup....such is life.

About Me



It's what I do.

My Interests

I play bass. I snowboard. I enjoy the occasional beverage with friends. I cook. I'm a vegetarian. I'm a big fan of live music. I travel. I recycle. I vote.

I'd like to meet:

The girl of my dreams. On MySpace.

If you've stumbled across this page through the MATERIAL 's page and want to contact me / add me about that...please message me there! Because while I agree that private profiles are lame , I just don't want like 30,000 randoms. Nothing personal, okay?

Music:

Always or currently digging.... Incubus (I miss Dirk), Muse, Brand New, Alkaline Trio, Margot and the Nuclear So and So's, Taking Back Sunday, Head Automatica, 30 Seconds To Mars, Less Than Jake, MuteMath, Brazil, Copeland, Finch, Ben Folds Five, Anberlin, Thrice, Say Anything, Jack's Mannequin, Vedera, Augustana, Death Cab For Cutie, Strung Out, Bad Religion, MxPx, Saosin, Rufio, Blindside (especially the old stuff), Tool, Every Time I Die, Rise Against, Fall Out Boy, Circa Survive, Sparta, Hum, Guns N' Roses, Jimmy Eat World, The Postal Service, Mae, Open Hand, Flogging Molly, The Bronx, Outkast, Foo Fighters, Deftones, Refused, Nirvana, Social D, Suicide Machines, Thursday, Acceptance, Weezer, etc.

Movies:

All time favorite is Dead Poet's Society. Also, Road Trip, Shawshank Redemption, Garden State, The Big Lebowski, Chasing Amy (pretty much all Kevin Smith stuff, but Chasing Amy is my favorite), Fight Club, Boondock Saints, Kill Bill (both of them), Snatch, and Office Space are pretty hard to shake a stick at, at least in my book.
