The Final Category is.... RIBS

About Me

Likes: Yardwork. Fixing things. Pretending that I can sing/play guitar. Penguins Hockey. Girls who wear white wifebeaters. Clean Laundry. Flavored Vodka. Spelling and Grammar. Cookouts. my Hammock. Pineapple. Root beer and the foam that accompanies it. Sleeping for extended periods of time, either alone or with company. My Dog and Cat (I don't discriminate against animals) Mexican food, especially chimichangas. Being right, whether I am or not. Girls who wear those sunglasses that are too big for their faces. When the sun is out, but its still raining somehow. Text Messaging. Cran-Grape Juice.Dislikes: When you are walking barefoot, and you hit a little stone you didnt see and it hurts really badly. Hospitals. Waiting. Lying. People who hit their kids in public (beat them at home so their arent any witnesses, idiot). When people talk down to others. Olives. Mayo. Mushrooms. Girls with too much makeup and a tan. Unattended Children. Disrespect. Things that are typical.I'm pretty much awesome, and thats all there is to it. I have too much free time, so I think A LOT and usually about useless things. Sometimes I can be very judgemental, not becuase I think I'm better than anyone, just because I make observations about people that I think are accurate. Open minded, but its pretty hard to convince me to want to really change anything. I take pride in being remarkably stubborn. Ideally I'd like to be a film director or possibly a commercial editor, I just can't write to save my life. So like I said, I completely rock, I just am not very good at conveying that via the written word.

My Interests

Cooking. I cant really do it that well, but im alwasy impressed when someone else can. Inventions. Again, never invented anything, but its on my list of things to do. Candy. I really like those complex sugars, especially sour things. The Outdoors. I've worked at two summer camps and have stories to last a lifetime from them. Grilled food, nuf said. Raw vegetables. Once you cook them they get mushy and gross. Other States. I've never lived in one, but I think I should like to try. Self Improvement. Once you become complacent, you might as well be dead. Abolishing unwanted mail. I hate having stacks of envelopes that I neither have or want to make time to read.

I'd like to meet:

I'd probably like to meet my ancestors. Not to see if any of them are famous or anything, just to see if I am like them. When people say things like, "Oh you get that (insert character trait) from your great-grandmother," I wonder if that is actually something that can be transferred genetically (im skeptical). President Bush because I'd like to give him a hug. He really gets a lot of hassle from the general american public. New People because I'm completely convinced that I've met every conceivable category of person in this city, and thats relatively depressing. So if youve got some originality, bring the noise.

Music:

Ray Charles, Jack Johnson, Dispatch, Taking Back Sunday, Mates of State, Arctic Monkeys, The Postal Service, The Killers, Weezer, Journey, Eagles, Eels, Counting Crows. I listen to those things by choice. I also enjoy a lot of hip hop and country. Yes, I'm just like every other normal person, unusual.

Movies:

I could write a book on all the movies I love and probably teach a class about the book (really love the dark ones like Snatch, Layer Cake, Brick, Lock Stock, Donnie Darko, Green Street Hooligans, etc.) Sometimes I have to watch a movie a few times to really pick up on everything. For instance... I had to watch the sixth sense a hundred and twelve times before I realized that "rosebud" was the kid's sled.

Television:

Lost, Family Guy, Heroes, and I'm a sucker for all the dating shows on MTV. Yes, its tacky, but at least I can admit my faults.

Books:

Not reading anything right now, always open to suggestions though.

Heroes:

Heroes is a great show on TV. Recognize, son.

My Blog

Because John asked for it

I refuse to indulge in writing any blogs that arent completely up to my standards. I had a fairly lengthy one written, but it was just a mess of ramblings, complaints, and trite ideas. I did not think...

Myspace is for Lovers

So I've said it before, and I'll say it again...for the most part, the only reason I blog is to bitch about something.  I remember a time when I kept all of my thoughts to myself, and boy was I m...

THE MEANING OF LIFE

I'd be willing to wager that you clicked on this blog, thinking in at least some degree to yourself, "oh gawd, I can't wait to see what he thinks the meaning of life is," (note the heavy sarcasm).&nbs...

I should've been in Big Mamma's House, not Martin Lawrence

I have to profess my love of the two elderly black women who trade on and off, AM and PM, as the receptionist downstairs.  When I'm around them, I finally get to act like a large, elderly, sassy-...

What do you call a cow with no legs

I've made a final decision to write a stream of consciousness as I go for this blog.  Not something I have done before, but then again, I've never drank cactus milk but who's to say I never will....

I guess what they say is right

Maybe its true....The Biggest Risk, Yields The Biggest Rewards. Yesterday, I stretched myself VERY thin.  I worked from 9am-2pm.  Left, showered, went to band practice from 3 - 4:30. Had to ...

Off the Top of my Head

Wow.  I have been asked to try to offend people in a blog.  I always accept dares, its a flaw of mine.  Here goes, I'll try, but not too hard. Being the ever-vigilant myspacer that I am...

Isn't Ethnicity FUN?!

I am by no means a master of blogging, however I've been out of the game for a while and have lots of requests for a new one.  Well, as usual I'm here to make all of your wishes come true. Today'...
