About Me




..
ABSOLUTION: Its my life, my desire, my goal, my obsession, my love, my 2nd job..and my entire life. Have I mentioned that? So yeah ABSOLUTION is my life and my life revolves around ABSOLUTION, all the while attempting to excel at my kick ass day job.
I grew up in Keene, NH and Carbondale, IL. Lived and went to school in Keene during the year and spent every summer with my dad in Carbondale. After high school i needed to escape the mundane world of New Hampshire and went to college in Carbondale at the ass-kicking Southern Illinois University and majored in Visual Communications (Graphic Design). Upon finishing college, I picked up and left and moved out to California not knowing a single person and with nothing except what I could fit in my 1997 Honda Accord. I lived in Fullerton, Ca for a few months, then Hollywood and now I live in ass-kicking Santa Monica, CA.
Here are some random things I think:
I think GW Bush is up to something. What?? I don't know. But its not random that he alone can now postpone a presidential election and that for the 1st time in American history Marshall Law is now LEGAL!
I enjoy Anheuser-Busch products and think Miller kinda sucks. I love Adidas and think Nike kinda sucks. I love Wendy's and think McDonald's suck. I love the Chicago Cubs, Bears and Bulls. I love the Miami Hurricanes and Miami Dolphins. I also love the Toronto Blue Jays and Pittsburgh Penguins. I care more about a lot of animals than some humans. I don't smoke cigarettes or weed but love alcohol :) I think marijuana should be legalized. I find people who think of GM, Ford and Chrysler as American companies and Honda and Toyota as Japanese companies to be very confused. I think George Bush could care less about 95% of the country (Full disclosure: Yes, I voted for him in 2000). I think LA needs more subways and trains. I think there should be a small 5 question VERY simple test to be eligible to vote in this country and anyone who passes it is eligible to vote (including felons). I think there should be no speed limit in many parts of the countries. I think most guys hide their emotions. I think most girls over analyze everything. I think 'class' divides us more than any other social issue. I think LA is the most segregated city in America. I think most small town cops become cops simply for power. I think FEAR, POWER, and JEALOUSY dictate 99% of the decisions we make in our lives. Females do most things out of jealousy. Males do most things out of fear.
I think EVERYONE should watch this: http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&client=firefox -a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=4aw&resnum= 0&q=zeitgeist+part+2&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8& amp;sa=N&tab=wv&oi=property_suggestions&resnum=0 &ct=property-revision&cd=1
And some random tidbits about me...
1- I believe god does not exist and belief in anything other than yourself and what you can control is the downfall of society. Believing in something or someone else may give others hope but I gain my hope and my desire to succeed from within. I call it "Blind Reality"
2- "Nice people suck" This statement has gotten me in trouble but I firmly believe it. If you have nothing else going for you other than you are a NICE person then I really don't want anything to do with you.
3- Osama Bin Laden has been captured or if not captured then the US government knows exactly where he is.
4- Strip clubs suck. ...unless they are free. They are completely pointless. Seriously why would i ant to waste an entire night and $200 on a tease?? Nothing against the dancers or the genius' that own them but the concept of a strip club is just lame. As the great PS says..."its like going to a buffet and not eating"
5- As you probably gathered from number 1, I am an atheist. Atheists are not angry, resentful people. We are just like you (except maybe smarter:) except we do not accept the notion of a god or higher being. It really annoys me when people are all about morals, etc and are also about god..that is a complete contradictory to me. I came up with my morals. ME!! They were not installed upon me by some preacher, book of FICTION or anyone else. I believe in them because they make sense to me. Anyone who does things cause they were told doesn't really believe in those things in the first place. That being said i have no problem with you if you are religious. I get that i'm in the vast minority. However, if you are blindly religious and attempt to convert others to your way of thinking and use mind control, fear and power to get others to give in to your beliefs then you can kindly hit the back button and then GO FUCK YOURSELF!!! (Hmm, that probably did nothing for the anger argument)
6- I cant believe i have to write this but since i've been asked....I respect your opinion of things but could care less what you think about me! Unlike the rest of society who says this i truly do not care what others think of me.
7-Question? Why does the majority of society judge people on looks? If we are going to judge others it should be based on one thing an one thing only......Intelligence!
8 -There is only ONE thing on this planet i am not open minded about. (I'm actually very open minded about religion. Its simply my opinion that there is no god. ) Anyone who doesn't believe in evolution and instead believes in creationism or "Intelligent Design" is a complete moron. No rationale, self thinking human can possibly believe in creationism. There is simply no evidence at all. Hey retard -explain fossils. Seriously! Explain fossils!!! You are simply lying to your self simply because you are being told if you believe in the theory of creationism. I am in deep trouble because about 45% of the U.S. does not accept the theory of evolution. By the way, the United States stands amazingly alone in this believe in comparison to other developed nations.
And on another note to those that say evolution is just a theory...so is electricity and gravity :) (More on this in an upcoming blog as well)

My Interests

Watching the Cubs dominate the NL central, watching Devin Hester score TD's. Music, Music and Music. I'm kinda obsessed. Learning, reading, expanding my horizons and talking to people i have nothing in common with!!.I also like biking, running, reading, going to the beach, graphic design and working out and driving...yes i live in LA and i said i like driving. I enjoy attempting to figure out life, attempting to figure people out and over-analyzing everything. Attempting to figure out people who i have nothing in common with. I love www.slate.com and think it should be required reading for all Americans. And oh yeah...I like girls with long hair :)

I'd like to meet:

Devin Hester, Lovie Smith, Carlos Zambrano, Joel Dubay, Warrel Dane, Micahel Sweet, Axl Rose, Tim Skold and Timo TolkkiMatt Meehans west coast twin

Music:

EMOTION IS THE KEY TO MUSIC. IF IT HAS EMOTION THEN I LIKE IT. TO ME NOTHING HAS MORE EMOTION THAN METAL. There are too many bands to list but for the moment....Children of Bodom, Skid Row, Guns N Roses, Stratovarius, Nightwish, Shadows Fall, Iced Earth, Helloween, Dream Theater, Sanctuary, Nevermore, Shotgun Messiah, Disturbed (10,000 Fists freakin' rules!!), Roxy Blue, In Flames, Edguy, Powermad, Fates Warning, Danger Danger, Gamma Ray, Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, Stryper, Destruction, Motley Crue, Poison, Queensryche, Ratt, Bon Jovi, Death, Dangerous Toys, Steelheart, Van Halen, Stygian, Vanden Plas, Vixen, Warrant, Winger, White Lion, Ozzy, Heathen, Iron Savior, Kamelot, Lacuna Coil, Eldritch, Balance of Power, Dragonforce, Mercury Rising, Vicious Rumors, Firehouse, Def Leppard, Cinderella, Brainstorm, Symphorce, Blind Guardian, Kreator, Angra, Engine, Control Denied, Leatherwolf, Obsession and many, many more.Non Metal: Jazz, classical, some rap (Eminem - creater of some of the most motivational lyrics/songs of all time, Ice Cube, Bone Thugs, 2Pac, Shit that Carlos sends to me, etc) the occasional pop song (mostly from the 80's like Michael Jackson, etc) and random people like Elton John, Billy Joel, and Paula Fuckin' Abdul, etc. I have a thing for Kelly Clarkson for some odd reason. And even the occasional country song like Garth Brooks or Toby Keith (who fuckin rocks!) and of course Kim Kline :)There isn't much I really dislike except 311, Sublime and a few more which i don't know the names of cause i have zero interest in them. Id rather listen to Britney Spears or N'Sync than a lot of the current bands i hear on the radio.

Movies:

Heat, Instinct, Office Space, Airplane, North Country, Gone Baby Gone, The Game, The Ghost and the Darkness and a few more.Random Movie tidbit: I have never seen any Star Wars movie and have no desire to see any of them.

Television:

is usually a waste of time. The only show im really into is '24'. Also a big fan of Wings, Seinfeld, The A-Team, MacGyver, Hey Dude (Anyone remember that? That really needs to be on DVD.Other than that its pretty much sports and the news.

Books:

Just finished "Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk. Currently reading "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. I need to read more books like this..actually i need to read more, which would be a lot easier if LA figured it out and had a viable public transportation system. Sorry LA - Buses simply don't cut it.

Heroes:

Besides Myself???Not a big fan of the word hero or idol but i certainly look up to and are inspired by the following: Mom, Dad, Jon Bon Jovi, Axl Rose, Warrel Dane, Matt Meehan and Travis Dog, Jon Schaffer, Alexi Laiho, Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, Ryne Sandberg
