About Me

Hi my name is Hugo, and sometimes Vlad. I like the color green and puppies. I enjoy Bill Murray movies and distrust people who don't. I have several other odd tastes. I like Vespa scooters, motorcycles w/ sidecars, kiwi birds, small cars, anime, pangolins, movies that make me think, daffodils, and dogs with short pitter-pattering legs, e.g. Corgis and Dachshunds. But the Beagle is still my favorite. I favor dogs to cats and ironically enough I am a Leo and a Tiger, but have outgrown reading my horoscope. I really like comic books and could probably talk your ear off about them. But not about DC, they suck. I work at a movie theater and I go to SJSU where I spend all the money I earn at said movie theater. I like art and will probably declare as a major within the Art department soon. I listen to alot of music alot of the time. I like many very different bands, but don't be surprised if i hate alot of what you think is good. I like to dance...in my head because my feet can't keep up. Disco helps with this. I like to read when I have the time. I play video games, though not religiously. And as for religion, I don't have one, seeing as, for the most part, they don't make much sense. I like reading about mythology and find it very enlightening. I don't drink, smoke, or experiment with drugs; I like to stay sharp. I also try to surround myself with sharp minds. I like sporting a beard and have a penchant for not combing my hair. I sometimes feel eccentric, and at other times plain. I feel that people are a herd of mindless sheep; its always refreshing to meet someone who's not. I find that optimism is depressing. And pessimism isn't quite as bad as the truth. I dismiss conspiracy theories but regard them as fearful paranoid imaginings of what very well might happen. I try to recycle, laugh at hippies, detest conservatives, think fundametalists and creationists are insane, don't understand abstract expressionism, think existentialism is fine by me, hate children, enjoy a good joke, like geeks and geekiness, think eyeglasses are cute, don't think JFK was that great, and wish I knew a less awkward way to end this paragraph.List of awesome animals: Hedgehogs, Kiwi birds, pangolins, chameleons, sloths, squirrels, elephants.
