I used to be a Captain...more or less....ok, less

About Me

There's not a lot that you need to know about me. The important things about me are my loyalty and my desire to please. I care about my friends and try my best to support them and help out whenever I can. Sometimes you learn a lot about your friends by the way they respond to certain situations. I'm the type who grabs his keys at a moments notice. I consider myself a deep thinker who keeps his emotions tucked away probably too much. I can get wrapped up in my thoughts quite easily, but it takes an army to make me lose my cool.I've learned you can say all of the wrong things to the right person and all of the right things to the wrong person, but in the end they make their own decisions.A great conversation starter with me is music or movies. I have a deep passion for both. I can immerse myself in their worlds and love it!

I made this music player at MyFlashFetish .com.

My Interests

Meeting up with girls, in my experience, is a lot like having sex with girls. I always get there first. ____ "Suave," says my Shampoo. "multi-action" says my toothpaste. "Total control," says my styling gel. "Cool" says my anti-perspirant.I am not living up to the expectations of my toiletries.

I'd like to meet:

Ultimately I want to meet the girl who inspires me. Its one of those things you can't ask of a person, it just happens. But I love people who are spontaneous and not afraid of a potential adventure. And people who are not afraid to do things outside of their comfort zone. Life is more fun with people to share things with so I look for that.

Music:

I've got a pretty ecclectic taste in music. I spent a few years in a music store and my collection shows it. The downside is my moods change seemingly hourly. I can't write or play it worth a damn, but theres a lot of music out there that hits me pretty deeply. Right now I've been spinning things like the Chili Peppers, Coldplay, People in Planes, Old '97s, Johnny Cash, Dave Matthews Band, G. Love, Notorious BIG, Tom Petty, Bob Schneider, Gnarls Barkley, Imogen Heap, Bob Marley, Ben Harper...and thats enough for now. Who knows what I'll have on next week!

Movies:

Much like music, I can get pretty lost in movies. I've taken to the addiction of building a vast collection, essentially giving NetFlix a run for its money. Heres a few current favs: Reign Over Me Fracture Ratatoullie Live Free or Die Hard Knocked Up Lucky You Disturbia

Television:

My TV only turns on for Lost, Greys Anatomy, The Simpsons, The West Wing, Entourage, and Yankee games.

Books:

I am definitely a JRR Tolkien fan. The world he created is simply incredible to me. A similar but uncomparable series is JK Rowling and Harry Potter. If you dig those you might definitely want to read Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials". Michael Crichton also is on that favs list.Recently, I read "Youth in Revolt" CD Payne and "Love Monkey" by Kyle Smith. HIGHLY recommended!!!

Heroes:

Hero is not a word to be used lightly. But if you have put someone elses needs in front of you own, and helped them acheive things for themselves before you, then you have heroic qualities to me. There are a lot of ways to save lives and improve lives, so if you have played a role in that, then you have heroic qualities and I greatly respect you.And heroes dont need specific recognition. You know who you are and how you have helped and inspired and saved me.

My Blog

The Pressure of Peers.

The temptation has become too great. My knowledge of my friends has turned into curiosity of how well my friends know ME. So I have done it. Have fun with this and see how well you might know me. ...
