About Me

those who know me can describe me best.I could L O A D the page with my views and opinions and things...but i'd rather not. Instead, i'll put a bunch of basically meaningless quizzes up. (hehehe) In the words of a wise man, G. Carlin, "Fuck that shit."DON'T HESITATE TO ASK ME IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT ME. I'm easy going and up for just about anything.Horoscopes (which... sometimes are true...) tell me i should be looking for LEO and ARIES women, so if that's you watch out!Calling all single LEOS and ARIES! just kidding...
Your Personality Is
Artisan (SP)
You are both grounded and flexible. You adapt well to new situations.
You are playful and free spirited - but you are also dependable and never flaky.
You don't do well in conservative, stuffy situations.
It's probably very hard for you to keep a normal job or stay in school.
You are always up for fun and adventure. Most people are too boring for you.
You take risks and bend the rules. And if things don't work out, you chock it up to life experience.
In love, you tend to take things quickly - but you have a huge problem with commitment.
At work, you need to make your own rules. You're best suited to be an entrepreneur.
With others, you are animated and physical. You prefer doing something with friends to just hanging out.

My Interests

have fun reading!: U-WISCONSIN basketball & football, UWM basketball, Marquette basketball and UW-GB women's basketball, CAL football! Watching NFL football (the Packers are "my team.") Taking pics is fun too... And yeah, i like to follow local sports teams as much as i can... Although i'm not the best athlete...I like to play sports too. Listening to music, watching/going to movies, hanging out with friends, watching tv, (political) disscussions: do not worry I WILL NOT JUDGE YOU for your beliefs. I like to donate blood, because in effect I am saving lives. It's always fun to drive past and laugh at the hopeless people in the drive-thru line at McD's at noon everyday waiting for their shitty burgers...come on now. They're not really worth the wait!

I'd like to meet:

a really good-looking, intelligent, kind girl with a lot of $. HA.How 'bout this: every person who was ever royally f*cked you know WHERE by the govt or a big company and HELP them out.Anyone on myspace who's not a REACTIONARY (far right wing) politically because some have started state militias, bombed abortion clinics and other government builidngs...crazy SOB's. Bill Frist and Pat Robertson are two examples that immeadiately come to mind of two who possess FAR TOO MUCH POWER.

Music:

I like to listen to anything besides that country/pop hybrid shit and MOST gansta rap, so: Green Day, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, AC/DC, Metallica (the old stuff), Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, the Bloodhound Gang, John Lennon, The Beatles (Sgt. Peppers = classic), The White Stripes, Beck, The Clash, Blur [song 2, what i call the "Woo Hoo Song"], The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Third Eye Blind, SHINEDOWN (saw them 2x at the Rave. Once when Tantric was the headlining act and the other time when SEETHER was the headliner), SEETHER, Weezer, Neil Young, NIRVANA, Modest Mouse, NiN, Flyleaf (awesome performance at the RAVE 2/16/06), Lostprophets...among numerous other bands and groups that are somewhere on my "playlist." Indie bands are fun to follow until they sellout.
You Are an Indie Rocker!
You are in it for the love of the music...
And you couldn't care less about being signed by a big label.
You're all about loving and supporting music - not commercial success.
You may not have the fame and glory, but you have complete control of your career.What Kind of Rocker Are You?

I'll try to save you some READING TIME by listing from those of which I own: A Beautiful Mind, Airplane, American History X, Apollo 13, Big Daddy, Black Sheep, Bowling for Columbine, Caddyshack, Capote, Death to Smoochy, Dogma (got to buy that one!), Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Dead Poets Society (hmm...need to get that...soon), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Full Metal Jacket, Garden State, the Girl Next Door, Good Morning Vietnam, Happy Gilmore, Hostel, Hotel Rwanda, Lost in Translation, Monster's Ball, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Not Another Teen Movie, Office Space, Planes Trains and Automobiles (actually I don't own it...), Platoon (don't own this either!), Porky's, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Shawn of the Dead, Spaceballs, Spiderman, Stripes, Super Troopers, The Aristocrats, Thirteen, Waiting, Wedding Crashers, Wild Things... and of course the movies i have seen "recently" and like: Anchorman, Dodgeball, Sideways, The Aviator, The 40-year-old Virgin, The Longest Yard, Havoc, An Inconvenient Truth, The Corporation, Napoleon Dynamite, The Jerk, Clerks II. I'm trying to watch more indie movies and... we'll see how that turns out.

Television:

shows i like: Family Guy, The Simpsons... older episodes = much better, Conan O' Brien, Lost (damnit im hooked...bastards!), Nip/Tuck, M*A*S*H, Law & Order, Boy Meets World, The Cosby Show, Full House, Seinfield, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, some shows on the History Channel...,King of the Hill, HBO or Comedy Central stand-up specials of Robin Williams, George Carlin and other GREAT comedians i.e. Steven Wright, Steve Corell, Lewis Black, Mitch Hedberg (R.I.P.) Ah hell, thrown in Wanda Sykes and Richard Pryor (R.I.P.) as well.

Books:

read 'em. The Da Vinci Code, 1984, Catcher in the Rye...are among my favorites. I read magazines once and awhile too. As far as newspapers go, I tend to stay local by reading The Examiner, The SF Chronicle, The GUARDIAN, The Onion and even the SF Weekly on occasion. Back in WI, I used to read Milwaukee Journal (Sentinel) and The Shepherd Express "the Shep" pretty reguarly. I usually don't watch the news though...i'd rather watch the Colbert Report or the Daily Show!

Who Should Paint You: Andy Warhol
You've got an interested edge that would be reflected in any portrait
You don't need any fancy paint techniques to stand out from the crowd! What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait?

Heroes:

I'm big on "civic pride", so anybody who stands up to OPPRESSION of any kind would undoubtedly be my hero.People who sacrifice something, e.g. their entire life to IMPROVE someone else's life would also be Heroes in my mind.But besides these people, I look up to, and admire a person who'd I call a "great liberal thinker." Those who were or are often labeled as eccentric, non-conformist in that they don't live "normal" lives, think outside the box and thus, BEYOND the REALM OF NORMALCY. To name a very select few: ralph waldo emerson, henry david thoreau, frank lloyd wright, RFK, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Jimi Hendrix.
