I'd play you a song, but... you know.

About Me

"I HAVE ONE ARM!!!"

My Interests

Let's see... I'm kind of a geek, but in a good way... I have an obsessions with the Simpsons, but to me, that's healthy; I love most forms of music, everything except what you like; used to play guitar, now I go to physical therapy instead; I am waiting for a prosthetic catalog so I can properly choose my weapon.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet the person I used to be and smack him for being an idiot.

Music:

Punk, Ska, other random shit... Here's a list, written in the order they came to mind... NOFX, No Use For a Name, Rise Against, Outcast, Green Day, Mad Caddies, Anti-Flag, Against Me!, Hi-Standard, Pennywise, Smashing Pumpkins, Propoghandi, Iron Maiden, Ten Foot Pole, Foo Fighters, REM, U2, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Bad Astronaut, Nerfherder, DJ Shadow, the Bloodhoung Gang, Less Than Jake, the Specials, Mighy Mighty Bosstones, the Toasters, GBH, Diesel Boy, Pulley, Bad Religion, Down By Law, None More Black, Inspection 12, the Monkeys, Minor Threat, Minute Men, Strung Out, Good Riddance, tons of movie scores...

Television:

My apartment doesn't have cable, or a phone for that matter, and truthfully, I never miss it. You'd be suprised how easy it is to get by without what some say are necessities.
