I am here for Friends

About Me

my winamp statistics
pay no attention to me
dancing with my girl
with every intention to be
failures in this world
-mewithoutyou
don't live for the moment, live for the constant
-sage francis
-Whats your definition of success ?
"Obtaining whatever security it is you require to be happy and comfortable. I am unhappily successful."
-sage francis
I know my faith has meaning
But I've forgotten why
It's so important to me
I can't remember why
-failure
simply because you can breathe,
doesn't mean you're alive,
or that you really live
-rise against
in a better world there would be a better me
without the chase that won't leave me be
wolves at my door keep all your wars
i'm going home to bed
i've paid more death then you will ever live
-converge
I always wonder, what it takes
Fifteen stitches, and a soft parody
To make my eyes be like deceit
Believe the sting, proves heart to me
-deftones

My Interests

Most people but their introduction of themselves in the other column on Myspace, I'm going to rebel and do it here. My name is Jon, I'm 21, and I'm weird. People say I'm chill, I like that. I search random words on google image to see what comes up. I love to listen to what people are thinking. I like watching strangers walk by. I go to concerts all the time. Music is my passion, career, and hobby. I take public transportation. It's not all that bad. I love imagery of all shapes and colors. I love taking pictures. Whether it be video or static, I'm always inspired by things that catch my eye. Half the time I buy albums based on cover art alone, or base a bands creativity on how their lyric booklet is mapped out. Many people disagree, but I think art & music are linked at the hips.I love movies, and enjoy certain TV shows. I'll watch Scrubs, 30 Rock, The Office, South Park, Futurama, The Simpsons, and other closely related shows with my buddy co-worker James every lunch hour. It's relaxing just sitting and laughing. People don't laugh enough. I've been going to a movie every other week for the last few months, even though it seems like everything released is crap. DVD's are where it is at.If you want to know anything else, don't be afraid to ask.

I'd like to meet:

Intelligent people are a plus, especially if they like to dance.

love

I started doing this band and it was like, "okay, this is the path that I'm on now, for a while, so I'll be in this band," but even then, I didn't find any real contentment until about three years ago...
