About Me

I have moved around a lot in my life. Not like an army brat, but I have gotten to experience several different areas of this country, most recently the South. And yeah, its South with a capital s. I am a pretty laid back guy. I take most of what life throws at me with a grain of salt. I am a big believer in karma like that. Everything comes around in the end. That doesn't mean a person shouldn't go after what they want, its just people need to have more patience.Beyond that, well, heres a survey:

My Interests

Music, Books, Rock Climbing, Hiking, Photography, Ultimate Frisbee. Really, anything that gets the blood going, and I don't mean just plunging down rapids in Hell's Canyon or something. See a Renoir in person or clicking with someone new, just seeking out new experiences.

I'd like to meet:

Picasso and Einstein (preferably in a bar in Paris), God (I have some questions), and anyone who wants to say hey.

Music:

Alkaline Trio, AC/DC, All-American Rejects, Ataris, Beck, Ben Harper, Better Than Ezra, Bob Dylan, The Clarks, Collective Soul, Counting Crows, Dave Matthews Band, Dispatch, Eels, Eve 6, Fastball, Good Charlotte, Greenday, Howie Day, Jack Johnson, Jimmy Eat World, John Coltrain, Johnny Cash, Jurassic Five, The Killers, Lit, Live, Maroon 5, Matthew Sweet, OAR, Oasis, Pearl Jam, Pete Yorn, The Postal Service, The Shins, Stone Temple Pilots, The Strokes, Sublime, Sugarcult, Superdrag, Tom Petty, Tonic, Wallflowers

Movies:

I like smart movies. I mean, yeah, dumb popcorn flicks are awesome sometimes, but the ones I can watch over and over are smart, clever. Even "Waiting...", one of my favorites at the moment, is a social critique at heart, its more than meets the eye.

Television:

My Name is Earl (karma, dude), Scrubs, The Office (both versions), and House (oh come on, how freaked out would you be if you had a gnarly pill-popping doctor you had to rely on to save your life?). Beyond that, who has time for tv?

Books:

Anything by Steinbeck, Hemingway, or Cormac McCarthy. Neil Gaiman is the shit, so is Clive Barker. Pahlniuk is good if he hadn't become so self involved. Bill Bryson is the man for humor and insight.
