About Me

I have lived in D.C. for nearly a year. I haven't had a decent burrito in the time since. I don't think they have taco shops here. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with this state. Oh wait.I may be moving soon. Just as this city has begun to grow on me and I have begun to truly admire it (except the complete lack of support for their admittedly terrible NHL team, the Capitals), it may already be time to begin again. I do feel that I can say that I intend to live the remainder of my life as a resident of the city which I will next reside in. Though, I fear that a lack of drinking restrictions in unsaid city may bring forth that fateful day much sooner than intended.I enjoy music. A lot. Probably more than you. Live music. Even more. Everything about it. I miss the mosh pit. One of the primary reasons I feel that I need to get back into shape.I enjoy food. At this point in my life, my realistic / somewhat possible dream is to open a restaurant. Become creative designer / head chef / something along those lines. I imagine a lot of gourmet condiments.I enjoy beer. Good beer. Really good beer. What some call craft beer. The beer you drink probably isn't good enough for me. Seriously.I enjoy friends. I have a few. I wish they were near, but I've always had a knack for having them in far, far away places, and I do a shitty job of keeping in touch with them. Why is it so incredibly hard for me to randomly call and say hi? We may never know. For those who know who you are, I

Television:

First, I would like to say that television will rot your fucking brain. That being said, I watch way too much of it and well, what else can be said. Lately, I have been enjoying the following programs: Pushing Daisies, Heroes, Bionic Woman, Jericho, The Thirsty Traveler, Iron Chef America, Throwdown with Bobby Flay, Top Chef, Emeril, Acceptable TV, Family Guy, Beer Nuts, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and other television programs which do not suck.

Books:

The worst part is... I never learned to read.

Heroes:

Was best covered by Travis and Remy Zero. Though it's still inferior to the original. No one should be covering Bowie anyhow.
