About Me

It's been awhile since I last updated my "About Me," and I've changed quite a bit, so I'm re-updating it toreflect who I am (whatever that means). I have, however, also changed the purpose of this "About Me" toactually describe me rather than advertise myself to the world as someone to message and add as a "friend".
That quite lengthy reason aside, I AM VERBOSE! But working on finding a balance between being understood andboring my audience with unnecessary information (often failing). I AM DOWN-TO-EARTH! Although I am oftenquite adept at sugar-coating words and manipulating social situations with words and thoughts that do notreflect my feelings, I prefer being able to freely discuss and speak my true thoughts on all matters withoutworrying about offending people (which, by the way, is one of the reasons my best friends are very laid-back). I AM VERY DIFFICULT TO OFFEND! People are people, and their opinions are just that--opinions that aretheir own. If they are not intentionally trying to offend/anger you, then you shouldn't be angry at them, andeven if they are doing it intentionally, to take offense would A) be letting them win and B) hamper yourability to be satisfied and happy with your current situation. I LIKE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, PERIOD (Note theperiod). This usually means doing one of the many activities listed or not listed to the left over there, orsomething else. And if you're someone who enjoys those activities too, then we can probably have a good timetogether. Which is often even more fun than having a good time alone. Having a good time to me also meanslearning, hence: I LIKE TO LEARN AND TRY NEW THINGS! Yeah, that means there's a lot of stuff to try and learnand become more skilled at. It also means I probably need to update my "interests" things to include somemore recent favorites like wakeboarding, trekking, and Chinese chess. I LIKE TO MEET AND GET TO KNOW NEWPEOPLE! Well, usually only in accordance with all those other things in capital letters above. I dislikemeeting and getting to know people who will judge me as a moron or feel offended if I say "The Beatles werean awesome band", because judging me as a moron will make it harder to have a good time (on both ends), and othersfeeling offended will make it too difficult to have meaningful and honest conversations that are not as long-winded as this "About Me" paragraph. I REALLY, REALLY LIKE MUSIC! Yeah, not on the same train of thought,not connected, already mentioned with the "like to have a good time" generalization, but is worth a doublenote.I could probably go on forever, changing things here and there every hour or so, but that'd be pointless--Ithink that should be enough of a reflection of my personality for now.

My Interests

Guitar, mature girls, vocal performance, making music, listening to good music, opening my mind through travelling (Spain, Korea, Thailand, China are on my two-week-plus list so far), playing basketball, football, swimming, working out, snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding, playing hold 'em, driving stick-shift, ditching class, partying balls to the walls, winging school, improvising (mostly to jazz) either vocally or with guitar, and eating good food when I'm hungry!

I'd like to meet:

Hell, I think anyone who's actually read through that entire paragraph without thinking that I'm a big-headedself-righteous bigot requires quite a lot of open-mindedness of their own, and those are the people I'dprobably love to have a cup of coffee with. To those of you that might've finished reading and think that,that's ok too, that's why I am verbose often times--to avoid that situation. I prefer meeting people face-to-face most of the time and having them get to know me through conversation rather than an "About Me"paragraph, and this is probably the best I can do for this thing right now anyway. Judge all you want! Iwould now rather attract the attention of people not expecting to see a "yeah I'm a cool guy i like partiesand sports and blah blah" in someone's "About Me" section, than someone expecting to see real cool and to-the-point "I'm awesome!" talk.

Music:

JAZZ! Charlie Parker, Gillespie, Davis, Brubeck, Fitzgerald, ..., but I usually prefer modal jazz, cool jazz, or bebop to big band or funk. I used to love pretty much every "90's dorm rock" song you could shake a stick at: RHCP, older Greenday, Nirvana, Verve Pipe, 311, Blink, Incubus, Counting Crows, etc..., but right now I'm a lot more into late Beatles, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Coltrane, Bjork, Frank Sinatra, hell--too many damn artists to list. I love 'em all except country music and death metal, pretty much, and the latter I only "not love" because it psyches me up wayyyyy too much.

Movies:

Movies that make you think and totally trip you out, like Vanilla Sky, or just plain emotionally powerful movies like Shawshank Redemption. There are too many good movies out there to list them all. Oh yeah, and in terms of stupid-funny, Not Another Teen Movie is the king. Period. Watch it if you've watched all the stupid chick-flicks it makes fun of.

Books:

Every Calvin and Hobbes collection ever created (Bill Watterson is DA MAN!), some Dean R. Koontz books, and many other assorted well-written books.
