Trying to make sense of the world since 1981.

I'm in a relationship with the San Antonio Spurs....all 15 of them.I'm 26. I have friends. Some of those friends have kids. Some of them are married. I am not one of those people. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with two degrees, and so far - not a lot to show for it save for a $38,000 loan bill. Things are "just around the corner" they keep telling me. I'm almost certain "they" are the ones what keep American Idol as the #1 rated television show and allow movies like Delta Farce to make more than a million dollars. But I digress. I'm sarcastic, not as happy as I want to be, funny to some, frustrating to most, I just might be a good guy when it comes down to it, I just don't know if I have any hope for the rest of the world.My "Art" click on the images to see a bigger picture.

My Interests

Movies, I'm an RTF grad so I guess that figures. I like going to shows and hearing new bands. I love to write, I got my second degree in Journalism. I'm a huge San Antonio Spurs fan, though you wouldn't know it if you saw me. Video games are what films were in the 1930s, misunderstood and occasionally captivating. Chatting and getting to know new people. Looking at the stars at night. Learning about new things is absolutely necessary.

I'd like to meet:

Someone once told me it's not what we like that brings us together - rather it's what we hate that has such a strong bond.
On that note, here are a few things that bother me.
Kids having kids.
People who answer cell phones in a movie theater
Anyone who credits "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour" as actually being funny.
Scene kids too into themselves to actually enjoy the show their attending.
Punk kids who think dressing like a cartoon character is actually making a difference.That "drunk" guy/girl.
People who think their shit is so cool at the expense of others.
People who "stare down" people they don't even know. Get over yourself.
Spambots/Sexbots/Bands that aren't very talented jamming my inbox with crap.
Ray Romano
If you've made it this far and still want to know, I've got a soft spot for girls with big eyes, easy smiles, and open hearts.
