Hi. I'm Andy and I play the drums in a celtic punk band called The Pubcrawlers. With that out of the way, here are some...
...Things I Like, in no particular order:
• My awesome WIFE (that's still weird), with whom I am frighteningly compatible.
• My friends & family, which in most cases are one and the same.
• Old-fashioned values such as honor & loyalty, both of which are all-too rare these days.
• My sweet house that I just bought.
• Movies. A lot.
• Music.
• Beer & scotch whiskey.
• Funny shit.
• Video games. Yes, I'm a WoW-coholic. Sue me.
• Dogs. R.I.P. Rudy... I miss ya, buddy. :(
• My 3 cats: Count Chocula, Baby and Mr. T.
• Pinup girls.
• My Celtic/British heritage.
...Things I Do Not Like:
• Nazis. I hate those guys.
• People who regularly use any of the following whilst typing: "ima," "hella," "ur" and, worst of all, "prolly."
• Hippies.
• Tomatoes.
• Conspiracy theorists.
• Constant mass-media coverage of useless bullshit such as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
• Jolly John . Yes, this man is a Maine celebrity.
• Pseudo-intellectual, condescending, patronizing bull crap. You are not better than me because you listen to NPR and laugh at "edgy" comedians with horn-rimmed glasses.
• Conversely, idiots who automatically dismiss anything containing a modicum of intelligence as pseudo-intellectual, condescending, patronizing bull crap.
Other items of note:
As I mentioned, I play in a band. If for some unfathomable reason you found me by other means and added me as a friend anyway, feel free to check us out; we've been told that we don't completely suck:
What else? Politics, I suppose. I know that it's become very trendy to call yourself a Libertarian lately, but although I try to avoid labels as much as possible, I guess that's what I'd consider myself if I had to choose. I'm an American first and foremost - any political affiliation is a distant second.
Politics aside, I believe in living life to the fullest, whatever that might mean to you - I don't subscribe to the theory that you have to climb 18 mountains a day and jog the Appalachian Trail in under 12 minutes to "live life;" if you find happiness sitting at home playing video games all day, rock on (although a little exercise wouldn't kill ya, Fatty. Put down the Twinkies.). I also believe in looking for answers wherever they can be found; I suspect that I have found several answers at the bottoms of various bottles, but sadly I don't remember what they were, so the search continues.
