The Biography of Awkward Silence

About Me

Visit Spore.com
Hi, I'm David. Or Zoop. Your choice. Here's some random facts about me!
    1. I unintentionally associate myself with beautiful people, as you can see by my Top Friends. 2. I'm a baseball junkie, but I can't swing the stick for the life of me. 3. I'm a comedy snob, meaning I reject what you find funny by turning my nose up to it. 4. I go out of my way to sound profound, which works about a quarter of the time, but the few hits make up for the many misses. 5. I'm a writer, which likely explains the profound thing... 6. ...that, or I'm obsessed with having charming movie moments where theoretical women will point at the theoretical screen and swoon for my affection. 7. I like dead musicians. The dead are far more interesting than the living. They're just more majestic. 8. In terms of politics, I'm a liberal through and through. I'm pro-gun control, pro-choice, pro-health care, pro-gay rights, pro-environment, anti-torture, anti-death penalty, anti-war, and anti-Bush. 9. The best city I've ever visited is Minneapolis, MN or Boston, MA... Can't choose between them. The best airport I've ever been in is Detroit Metro (DTW). 10. I'm a Garbage Pail Kids collector, as you can see in my pictures. I cherish things from my childhood dearly. 11. I despise telephone conversations. 12. I watch the same movies literally hundreds of times, sometimes right after I just watched them. 13. I have caught a home run from Ken Griffey, Jr. before. It was in batting practice, but it counts all the same to me. 14. I love animals more than people. 15. I've lost over 125lbs, and I'm still a chubby funster. 16. I'm on YouTube: www.youtube.com/zoopsoul 17. Favorites: My favorite movie of all-time is The Shining. Favorite director is Stanley Kubrick. My favorite musician ever is Glen Phillips. Song is the 3 Demos version of "Train Wreck" by Mr. Phillips. Favorite LP is "Phantom Moon" by Duncan Sheik EP is "Speed Graphic" by Ben Folds. Video game is Chrono Trigger for the Super Nintendo, which is also my favorite game system. Favorite TV show is Mr. Show. Favorite actor is Morgan Freeman, although I'd watch anything with Don Cheadle or Ryan Gosling in it. Christian Bale is another exception, as well as Clive Owen. My favorite invention of all-time is the shoe, followed by the air conditioner. My favorite weather pattern is cloudy with scattered thunderstorms, 70 degrees. My favorite sport is easily baseball. My favorite player from my generation is Jim Edmonds, Willie Mays from the old generation. Both showed a sweet swing and even sweeter leatherwork. My favorite zoo exhibit is the big cats. My favorite rap song of all-time is either "Same Song" by the Digital Underground or "Fuck Tha Police" by the N.W.A.--for this, I have not decided. My favorite Futurama character is Dr. Zoidberg. "And I'm his friend, Jesus!" My favorite Family Guy character is Brian. My favorite South Park character is Butters. My favorite Aqua Teen Hunger Force character is Meatwad. An obvious choice, but he has the best one-liners. My favorite sports teams are the St. Louis Cardinals, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Colorado Avalanche. I hate basketball, but I'd cheer for the Hornets if I liked it. My three favorite people that I require in my life are: Val for everything, Reed for bullshitting, and Jen for soul soothing. My favorite part of my job is networking. I love talking to people. My favorite chore is dishes because I don't have to bend. My favorite board game is Battleship. My favorite team to hate is the New York Mets (fans are idiots), followed by the Detroit Red Wings (I'm an Avs fan--got to), New England Patriots (players are cheaters, fans are arrogant), and the Chicago Cubs (fans are dim whiners).
