Please, me, have no regrets

About Me

jeez. How do I do this without sounding like an arse? Hmm. I like music, both live and canned. I'll travel anywhere for music, as long as it's a good show. I like making fun of people. I like to argue about stupid things. I hate coffee. My car is paid off. I have 2 dogs, Dave and Larry. And a parrot and chickens. I love MTV reality shows and serial dramas. I'm a Mac user...always have been. I enjoy driving alone at night, listening to sad/pretty music. Homeless people bug me. I have no game, especially when I'm stoned. I can't stand stupid people. Don't make me repeat myself, it makes me sound like an idiot. I tend to be childish. I dropped out of college because I lacked direction. I don't want anyone to dislike me. I'm probably the most easy-going guy you've met. I like to have fun, it's a priority. If it's not fun, why do it? I'm a former hippie, that is, I stopped dressing like one...my heart is still tie-dyed though! I like the word "headdie" as an adjective. I hate when guys wear flip flops. I like the night life, i like to boogie. But I also like my couch and a good book. I've been told that I'm a very funny guy...but I don't see it.I want to fall in love. I want to be loved. (edit: I think I'm almost there!)
