Creative Minds Are Seldom Tidy

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Now that we've pleased your eyes, let us please your mind.

Let's get the little-known but dreadfully obvious basics out of the way first...

I like to be all dramatic and say things like, "My whole life is a dark room..." on the internet. I feel as though the joke is either crappy or you didn't deliver it well if you have to write, "j/k," or "LOL," after you write it. Should you ever find yourself talking to me in person, you'll find that I generally don't speak nearly as well as I write. It's the umpteenth wonder of the world. I find it entertaining to write in declarative sentences most of the time. I believe it adds depth and mystery to any piece of writing. I wanted to be a writer when I was younger. Now I simply want to do whatever I need to do to get the most money in the shortest amount of time possible. It's sad how quickly one's perception of life will change when faced with the cold hard facts.

Onto the other stuff...

I am twenty years of age. I am a flaming homosexual. If you didn't know, you do now, and we obviously need to hang out more if you had to find out on MySpace. I don't care if you think I'm going to hell for it, because you're probably going with me, so I don't want to hear about it. Save yourself the effort and write hate mail to somebody who may actually be offended by it. I have a lovely girlfriend who I adore with everything I have, and I would do anything for her. Thankfully, she returns the favor and loves me back just as much. We've got two wonderful dogs and a kitty who we love to death, so our disfigured little family is already in full swing. I work at an RV center near my home. At the moment I'm on front line detail, which pretty much means I'm the kid who washes the RVs that are for sale.

People say I'm funny, so I probably am, right? Heck yeah I am. I've lost count of how many people have soiled their pants because I's so freaking funny. Not to toot my own horn, of course.

AFI, Tegan and Sara, Mindless Self Indulgence, Shiny Toy Guns, Atreyu, Ani DiFranco, MC Chris, As I Lay Dying, Blaqk Audio, The Cliks, The Blow, Cher, eightyonedays, Snoop, Dr. Dre, Lil' Jon, OTEP, Lacuna Coil, Bitch and Animal, KT Tunstall, Le Tigre, Drums & Tuba, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Dick Dale, Linkin Park, Maroon 5, techno in general, Chevelle, Saliva, Bone Thugs and Harmony, Eminem, Kid Rock, Slipknot, My Chemical Romance, The Used, Fall Out Boy, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice In Chains, DMX, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Nickelback, Alix Olson, Amy Steinberg, Insane Clown Posse, Rammstein, etc.

Anything funny. Sad movies make me cry so I don't watch them, because how butch is that? I'll tell you how butch - not butch at all. Scary movies scare me, but I want to look butch in front of people, so I do the complete opposite and watch as many scary movies as I can.

Books generally don't appeal to me, but there are a few titles I have enjoyed. Robinson Crusoe, Frankenstein, the Giver, Freedom Writers, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Green Mile, and The Diary of Anne Frank are among the few.

I don't really have any heroes anymore. Heroes are people that you want to be like, people whose qualities you wish you posessed. I don't want to be like anybody because everybody I ever wanted to be like turned out to have major flaws. I don't handle disappointment well, so when it comes down to the bare bones of it all, I admire nobody.

Color Me Liar

I think it's in the nature people to seek positivity. I try to be as positive as I possibly can most of the time. I avoid conflict for the better interest of the people round me at the time, and I gen...

The Visible Light Spectrum Is A Lie

 What if colors are not the colors we all know? What if brown eyes see green as blue, and green eyes see blue as green? If I walked up to somebody and said, "Look, the sky is blue," they would sa...

Literacy Tests

 Opinions are completely shapeless, they have no texture, no color, no weight. They are just ideas that comes into a person's mind. Granted, we could get into the chemical reactions that happen w...

Vertical Lines

So I've been enrolled into an art class. That's wonderful, an art class. Now I can sit there and yell back at the computer screen because the teacher is trying to tell me how I'm supposed to feel when...

One Of Those Give and Take Things

Coming into this strange chunk of life most people refer to as adulthood, I have started to form my own philosophies on life, and how to live it, one of which falls into the category of people. For so...

Forgiveness :: Inexorability : Fight :: ______

I hate Carlos Mencia. When did it become a fad to put down your family and where they came from? It seems like every comedian does it these days. Why doesn't it bother me anymore when p...
