About Me

I’ve learned to become content with the grey areas in life…although it’s irritating when this stance is an excuse to not be held accountable for strong opinions on important matters, I’m a firm believer that education is not always synonymous with knowledge and that “experience” does not equate either unless you’ve learned an invaluable lesson from it, I happily wear black from head to toe five days out of the week but I think white is much more becoming on me, it’s amusing when others mistake a multifaceted personality for a lack of “identity” and, no, I’d rather not have to describe myself in 10 words or less, people that spend an inordinate amount of time perfecting their look/wardrobe to convey that they “don’t give a fuck” really crack me up, the media frightens me mostly because it is unavoidable and necessary, animals make me cry and smile more than people, I consider my boxer as my child, not a pet (he often sits down with just his butt on the couch and sighs wearily just like a human), ask me a question about any dog breed and it's likely I'll know the answer, eternally inquisitive but I can't seem to pick up a book lately, being angry makes me cry and sadness makes me silent, my singing is pretty, but I only have the confidence to say that and not to do it, I make people laugh often, but I don’t consider myself a comedian, I’m constantly making weird faces although I never seem to be aware of this, being Croatian and Italian means more to others than it does myself, I still haven’t determined if being adopted is a blessing or a burden or neither, but I do know that I honestly don’t care, I believe I understand the fragility of life that not everyone will inevitably be there when you wake up tomorrow, I'm perfectly happy that my employment reflects my talent and passion not my degree, if I could get over the conviction that I've become ADHD I might get another one, sarcasm can be a defense mechanism of mine, I eat chocolate at least once almost every day, everyone knows the monkey never really gets off your back, but substance abuse is past me because I realize it’s only good to “lose yourself” so often, at the age of 24 I still think farts are funny, so it should be more than apparent I don't take myself this seriously...all the time

My Interests

hanging out with Fucker (Jennifer), loving this guy metamorphosing my art, style, creativity into makeup, making sound effects for things that do not make noise, playing in the bathtub, kick boxing, immature bathroom humor, karma, inebration, bad language, good vocab, identical twins, african american history, impulsive/compulsive art, making ugly faces, animals, conquering vices, introspection, hole-in-the-wall drinking establishments, pretending like I can write song lyrics, Mr. Berry, a nice touch, double crown n diet, jeans that fit me right, taking satisfying shits, "secret cocks," rocking out in my car, relishing in a full 8 hours of sleep when I actually can, sharing dreams, eating organic, fine vodka, unnecessarily loud music, mocassins, tattoo/piercing culture and adding to it, weird shoes, well-thought-out ink, an odd preoccupation with the forecast, crying from laughing, scallywags, ruffians, hooligans, ne'er-do-wells, tomfoolery, mischief and general buffoonery.

I'd like to meet:

Yo, bro!

It never had actually occurred to me, nor did the thought even remotely enter my mind, that my brother might actually have a myspace account. Well, I recently discovered he does. Shocking. I'm less di...

the end is near

The toilet has been running for over a week now. The constant whirring and trickling has left me disturbed and restless. The only means for ridding the bowl's contents is to plunge my hand into the de...

If only that did it for me

The cat wants me. If that wasn't unsettling enough, the cat is female. She sits on the back of the toilet and watches me while I'm shaving, you know...stuff. Not any other time. Just when the legs are...
