I am here for Friends

About Me

Let's see, I was born in Bristol, PA. Moved to Schenectady, NY when I was around 4. I had an eyepatch. Artistically gifted for most of my life. Kids would try to get me to color their homework in 2nd grade, but I'm no cheater. YOU COLOR YOUR OWN DARN HOMEWORK!!I was pretty invisible in school until my Senior year in High School (Linton) where I managed to pick up a few friends and started socializing a little more. I never drank, so partying never came into the picture... Meh, I was better off.Went to college in Utah, BYU, and served a 2 year LDS mission (1994-1996) to Northern California where I rode a bike in a suit and taught people about Christ. Returned home and went back to school, while working full time. That wasn't really working out, so in 2003, I quit work to focus on school entirely.Finally graduated in 2005 with a BFA in Industrial Design. Got a job offer to design cars for Ford in Dearborn Michigan, which has pretty much been my dream job since the age of 12. Started work on the 9th of January and am LOVING IT! Having a job that pays good money to draw cars is teh best!..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

My Interests

Athletically, I love Basketball, and Mountain Biking. Non-athletically, I prefer reading and gaming. Somehow recently the non-athletic side of me has been winning out, and my overall fitness has been losing:( Most of my social life revolves around church and I'm excited to move and meet some new people. Strangely enough, I also love cats. And here's why...


Hosted at MySpaceNow.com

Cats totally own noobs.

I'd like to meet:

Gordon B. Hinckley, Matt Groening, Conan O'Brien, Evangeline Lilly(HOT!), Orson Scott Card... oh yeah, and that Jared guy from the Subway commercials. I think I'd like to kick him in the groin.

Music:

I never really had a musical identity until College. So let's start there. Pearl Jam, Chili Peppers, SoundGarden, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Living Colour, Old Metallica. Those were the ones I actually listened to and liked. After College I entered my album buying phase and expanded my likings a little including, Alphabetically, as I pull from my music folder, Beastie Boys, Beck, Blink, Cake, Coldplay, Collective Soul, Dead Can Dance, Dream Theater, Enya, Filter, Finger Eleven, Foo, Fuel, Jimmy, Linkin Park, Live, Muse, Nickelback, Pound, Queensryche, Rage, 7M3, Silverchair, Pumpkins, STP, The Police, U2, Van Halen, Vertical Horizon, Weezer

Movies:

The Usual Suspects, LOTR, Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre, Groundhog Day, Field of Dreams, SWINGERS!

Television:

There are several shows I never miss. Lost, The Office, The Simpsons, Battlestar Galactica, and until recently, 24. Sorry, but the whole "everything happens in LA" thing got really old. But the older seasons were great. Out of those my fav at the moment is Lost. Without a doubt, the best written and acted show on TV. I'm a guy and I like guy stuff, but when a mere TV show can almost make ME cry, someone is doing something right. Of course The Simpsons is still the standard by which all other humor based TV shows are measured by. Also I have some shows that I've bought the DVD's for like Arrested Development, and I'm just starting to get episodes of MST3K.

Books:

Oh man, there are just too many to list here. I've read almost every Star Wars book, and that totals 75 books right there. PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT DRESS AS A STORM TROOPER AND SLEEP OVER NIGHT IN MOVIE LINES AND BOW AT THE FEET OF LUCAS!! I just like the stories.In general I like Fantasy, and some Sci Fi. Authors include Orson Scott Card, Michael Stackpole, David Farland, Tolkien,Terry Brooks, Dennis L. Mckiernan, David Eddings, Robert Jordan (although I wish he'd hurry his trash up), Robin Hobb, Tad Williams, LE Modesitt, Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman. There are many more, since I've read over 500 books since High School, I just can't remember them at the moment.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith. Two men who knew exactly what they had to do and eventually sacrificed their lives for it. As my Savior, Christ gets top billing. Joseph Smith was his prophet, and was murdered for his beliefs.In a non-religious vein, I look at the people on flight 93. So I guess laying down your life willingly so that others might live and be happy is my definition of Hero.

Greenhouse Gas?

OK, I'd like to get some answers to a serious question. We've been hearing A LOT about global warming.  Supposedly the main culprit is CO2, a "greenhouse" gas.  Meaning it contributes to the...

Things that (strangely) I feel strongly about...

OK, so I discovered some things about myself recently revolving around Pop music and my feelings about it.  Which normally are pretty non-existant and/or apathetic. The first is that I HATE Gwen ...
