About Me

I should do more, but I'm too busy.
Sometime in pre-history an egg was laid by a smaller than average mongoose. That egg later hatched during a slightly larger than average umbrella storm. As the umbrellas pattered on nearby rooftops, our hero (Mike) peeked his little head from the cracks of his egg shell. Determined to make the smaller than average mongoose proud, our hero got a job at the local frost lightning factory. Two days later that factory burned down and frost lightning bolts were never seen again. The fire marshal blamed a faulty crock pot in the break room for the fire, but the simple truth was that Mike put his corn dog in the microwave for 54 minutes instead of the 54 seconds which was clearly recommended on the corn dog packaging. Mike never forgave himself for the worlds loss of frost lightning and joined a sub par sketch comedy troupe 745 billion years later as punishment. 200 years later he died fighting a big dragon.
Heres a show we made you should watch and tell people about. For more episodes check out Chet's profile from my friends list.

My Interests

Here's a list of stuff I like:
Lists, Run on sentences, When your Ipod is on shuffle and one song ends with applause and the next random song begins with applause and you can't tell when it switches even though its a completely different group of people clapping, Basic Shapes, Ink Splatters, The Primary Colors, Milkshakes, 200 year old Violins, Hickups that are too loud, Chicken Noodle Soup, Trapping the infinite world in a 16x9 frame, Clouds, Film, Argyle, Zen, Bad Poetry, Kites, Samurai, Drawing, Thinking about light bouncing off of everything and landing in my eyeballs, Painting poorly, Comics, Space, Time on a curve, Fruit snacks, Words but not spelling, Blue, Swords that are handed down from father to son for a thousand years, Brotherhood, Chewy chips a hoy cookies, Coke classic, The Desert, Black and White Detectives who's thoughts I can hear, Birds, Wings, Feathers, Fingers, Cold Chocolate, Warm Brownies, the fact that the sun and the moon are the same size in the sky even though the sun is so much bigger, and Rabbits.

Here's a list of stuff that kills me:
The fact that more often than not the "Shhhhh!" is louder than the whisper it's trying to protect against. The high pitched squeak of Styrofoam. The feeling of guilt when you aren't guilty but perceived by others as guilty. Water in your ear. A ringing telephone when you’re asleep. The fact that no matter what you eat, it costs life to sustain life. A song in your head you can’t remember the words to. The language barrier, or more importantly when a person who is struggling with their second language is then perceived as ignorant by someone who only speaks one language. The fact that I only know one language, Loneliness while surrounded by loved ones. Snow. When the truth isn’t the right thing to say.

I'd like to meet:

The Pilot of a giant robot... of me. well its not me, its a robot, it just looks like me. Well like me but with cooler hair. Metal hair. A giant metal haired robot of me's pilot. I dont wanna meet the robot, it'd be awkward. Like when you go somewhere and someone has the same shirt as you, but hed look exactly like you except bigger, and a robot, and with cooler hair. Metal hair.

Music:

A Crowd of Small Adventures, Hungry Cloud, Bright eyes, Counting Crows, Weakerthans, Ryan Adams, Old 97s, the Format, Rilo Kiley, Matt Nathanson, Rocky Votolato, Deathcab, Decemberists, and all that other good stuff that makes your skin react.Here's a video I made.

Movies:

Well Thor, you're getting pretty old man. I think it's time to set you free. Good luck out there on the internet... Don't talk to strangers, and please come home before the street lights come on.I'll miss you.Thor at the Bus Stop

Add to My Profile | More VideosThis is the 48 hour film we did. I like doing 48 hour film competitions because if the movie turns out crappy, we can be like "What do you expect, we did it in 48 hours!" But if people like it it's like "Yeah, think that's good? Just wait til the next movie where we take our time." (Both are being said whilst rubbing an apple on your shirt and then punctuated at the end with a huge bite.) It's a victory either way. ENJOY!The Clothespin Parable

a group of short sentences mixed with long ones is what you’ll get if you click here.

So here's some crap I'm thinking about. You clicked on the link so I'm assuming you might be slightly interested. That last sentence was a sissy. "assuming" "might" "slightly" All these guarding terms...
