About Me

..
No, not that Jim Morrison! As you could probably guess I get allot of crap for my name. Whoever said "What's in a name?," was probably not named after one of the most famous rock stars of all time. Those are big shoes to fill so I stopped trying years ago. But I've got to say people don't forget my name very easily. After they hang out with me for awhile I think they realize the person behind the name isn't easy to forget either. I love life and I love people. I would say most people love me too, at least my friends out weigh my enemies 100 to 1. I'm 28 but I get mistaken for around 22 all the time which I guess is a good thing.
I live in Omaha Nebraska, a place I used to loathe but have grown to love. Over the next five years I hope It's a place that me and my associates will make everyone else love too. I am currently in school for marketing and communication. I have also started a promotions company with my best friend. We are currently working on a benefit for the Victims of the Westroads mall Shooting and their families. It will be on February 9th at Club Roxbury. If you can help PLEASE contact me. I am a semi-professional spoken word artist as well, and have been to national competitions in 2003, and 2004. I host a neo-vaudeville variety open mic show every Tuesday at Shea Riley's in mid town Omaha. We have Poets, comedians, musicians, and other performers of all varieties. The crowds are more like those at a punk show then an open mic, which rules! It's great and I love doing it!!! I've also done some shows at colleges and schools throughout the area. I guess, the fact that I have also performed or officiated over thirteen weddings, at this point, is worth honorable mention. I got ordained on the internet as kind of a joke and was asked by friends of mine to do their wedding. They didn't want an extremely religious ceremony, and knew I had a way with words, not to mention experience in front of crowds. People loved the ceremony and it kind of snowballed into a side business since then. So, that's me in a nutshell. I am just a guy trying like hell to make a mark on the world and be remembered after my time on this planet is done. Myspace Contact Tables

My Interests

Ancient History and civilizations, Philosophy, poetry, throwing events and concerts, music, art, movies, reading, comedy, writing, fine beers (well drinking period), esoteric science, quantum physics (even though I don't quite understand it), learning new things, adult swim, the unknown, I also really like the company of intelligent people. oh yeah and I love the company of a good woman.

....

I'd like to meet:

Living or dead?! Well, Ghandi, God, The devil (oh wait he's been the incarnate of a few ex girlfriends), My future wife and mother of my children although that person I don't really look for. I figure she'll find me when the time is right. I would like to meet Ron Jeremy and ask him how his ugly ass became the most famous figure in adult entertainment. I would like to meet Johnny Depp and thamk him for being a real actor when there are so many people like Keanu Reeves in hollywood making americans look bad (as if our government doesnt do a good enough job at it). Yet most of the people I would like to meet are long gone heres a list: Leonardo Davinci, Walt Whitman, Einstein, Bill Hicks, Chris Farley, William Shakespeare, Ramses the great, Kurt Cobain, Charles Darwin and Saint Thomas Aquinas (at the same time), Bob Ross (happy little trees!), Jammaster Jay, John Lennon, And I guess it would be cool to meet Jim Morrison. Living: Above all Maynard from Tool, Slug from Atmosphere, Outkast, Stephen Hawking, Nelly and Puffy (so I could beat them senseless for ruining Hip-Hop), Saul Williams, Tim Burton, Mos Def, George Bush (so I can beat him senseless for ruining America's credibility), Dane Cook, Eddie Izzard, John Stewart, Kevin Smith, Charlie Kaufman; Kate Hudson, Angelina Jolie, Tori Amos, Drew Barrymore, and Catherine Zeta Jones (all for alone time fantasy purposes).

Music:

I like all kinds. Here's a list of my favoriutes that come to mind: Tool, A Perfect Circle, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, The Shins, Mr. Bungle, Portishead, Tori Amos, Counting Crows, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Outkast, Willie Nelson, Led Zeppelin, System of a Down, Ministry, Pantera, Bjork, Postal Servise, Built to Spill, Death Cab For Cutie, Ani Difranco, Parliment Funkadelic, Bad religion, Circle Jerks, Operation Ivy, Type o Negative, Pink Floyd, Weezer, Ween, NOFX, Cake, The Butthole Surfers, Eric Clapton, The Doors, Brother Ali, Eyedea and Abilities. . .The list goes on and on...

Movies:

I have an absolute obsession with the big screen, and pay close attention to all aspects of a movie. I think about acting, directing, writing, producing, special effects, editing, cinematography, and musical score. Basically I'm neurotic. Here's a list: Edward Scissorhands, Scarface, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Interview with a Vampire, Waking Life, Human Traffic, Dazed and Confused, Lost Boys, Adaptation,The Crow, Boondock Saints, Donnie Darko, Legend, Patch Adams, Batman 1 and 2, Superman Spiderman, X-men, Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Underworld, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, Little Monsters, Pay It Forward, K-Pax, Seven, American Beauty, A Beautiful Mind, Gladiator, Pi, Pulp Fiction, Face Off, Requiem for a Dream, The Doors, Breakfast Club, High Fidelity, Joe Dirt, How High, Bruce Almighty, The Truman Show, Romeo and Juliet, Desperado, Four Rooms, King Kong, E.T., Devil's Advocate, What Dreams May Come, What Women Want, Conspiracy Theory, As Good as it Gets, Ray, Harold and Kumar's Trip to White Castle, The Pianist, Almost Famous, Gone in Sixty Seconds, The Fifth Element, Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Rocky, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Harry Potter Series, The Last Temptation of Christ, Carlito's Way, Brainscan, Fire in The Sky, The Mummy, Kingpin, Stargate, The Last Mimzy, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Idiocracy, Transformers, Four Rooms, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Grandma's Boy, The Bourne Trilogy, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Again the list goes on and on and on and. . .

Television:

I am pretty selective about what I watch on t.v. Heres a small list: Anything on Ancient History or Space (and other educational programs), The Daily Show, The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Drawn Together, Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman, Home Movies, The Oblongs, X-files, Quantum Leap, Mr. Show, SNL, Star Trek The Next Generation, That 70's Show, Drew Carey, Rescue Me, Weeds, Battlestar Galactica, and a few more. I hate reality T.V., I don't like most television drama, but I love stand up comedy.

Books:

I've read quite a bit but I don't want to write a book for you listing them all, so I'll list some of my favorites: The Vampire chronicles series by Anne Rice, The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight, The Da Vinci Code, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Great Masters, The Complete Mythology Encyclopedia, The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry, If Chins Could Kill, Rolling Stones Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll, The Oxford Book of Quotations, The Hobbit, The Lord of The Rings, The 12th Planet, The Queen of Darkness, The History of Art, etc, etc, etc

Heroes:

My biggest heroes are my friends. I have a close tribe of people that I am part of and the all have something special in them, something I admire, especially Josh Joey, Huston, Eric, Adam, Shane, Brian, James, Nate, and Chris. There are allot more and these are people I would jump in front of a bullet for. Those are My true heros. I also have major influences. Here's that list: Leonardo Da Vinci, Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Marc Smith (creator of slam poetry), Maynard James Keenan, Michael Moore, Kevin Smith, my first college teacher Doug Weber (R.I.P.), Sidhartha, Ramses II, Caeser Agustus, Hunter S. Thompson, Mike Mcgee, Jesus (the wandering peaceloving hippie type he was, not what all these simple minded fundamentalists have made him out to be). There are more but it's hard to think of them all on the spot.
