MY PROFILE:
Hi! My name is Dan. Or Daniel.
...I, Dan, was born and raised in Philly, but went to college in NYC. I studied Film and video editing. Now I am back living in Philadelphia on my own.
...I love to DJ (mainly jungle/DnB ), my DJ alias is "DJ Magnum DB". I spin online sometimes, occasionally I'll play at Solstice, but my main focus is on movies right now.
...I love to listen to all kinds of music. See the music area for my musical interests.
...My sense of humor has no boundaries. (Seriously, NO limits - just a warning).
CONTINUED BELOW. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN.
...I love animals! A whole, whole lot. More often then not, I'll ignore a human for thier pet. (oops)
One of my dogs.
----------------------------------------------------------
...I, am someone who has very unkosher views on a lot of sensitive topics in this world Most people tend to disagree with me, but it makes for good conversation. I am very opinionated (and VERY informed and up to date) when it comes to political issues. I am completely against Bush and his agenda.
Bush is a C student.
----------------------------------------------------------
...I am that guy that when you ask "Whatta you wanna do tonight?" my answer will always be, "Whatever you wanna do, or we can watch a movie." I am obsessed with watching movies - and I get very irritated at those who talk through movies. So if you plan to watch something with me, also plan to SHUT THE HELL UP!
...I have no tattoos or piercings. I don't do drugs, don't drink, and don't smoke.
...I was born Jewish, but I don't practice. I am not a fan of religion, in fact I am fairly against it.
Everyone is greedy for gain;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone practices deceit.
- Jeremiah 8:10 (New American Standard Bible)
----------------------------------------------------------
...I am a Mac user! So beware, the topic of computers WILL come up when you talk to me.
Apple had an Apple menu before Windows had the start menu. Apple had a trash can before Windows had a recycle bin. Apple had a CD drive before Windows machines. Apple and their third party companies had widgets, now Windows does too.
Firewire came on Mac's first. Apple had track pads on their laptops before anyone else. Apple was the first to stop using floppy drives. Most printers and computers use TrueType fonts... that was invented by Apple (to compete with Adobe's PostScript). Apple was the first to offer a color graphics card. Apple was first to offer built-in networking.
Macintosh computers were the first with built in sound cards. USB connectors came standard across the entire Mac line first. Apple was the first to let you inside the computer easily. Apple was first to let you connect two monitors.
Apple invented the PDA (The Newton). Apple was first to offer flat panel displays. Apple was first to do away with internal fans.
Icons, folders, and pull-down menus were on the Mac first. Microsoft Word, and Excel were developed for the Mac first, oddly. As was Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and GoLive.
...I am not a phone person at all. I just don't like talking on the phone, I get quiet, the ear piece is uncomfortable. And I don't have a texting plan. Sorry! If we can IM each other, that's my choice of communication.
FIN
Now The Bad:
...I, Dan, have a bad memory. I have trouble remembering names. I have trouble remembering what people said. But I can usually memorize a movie after one viewing.
...I always have a hard time trying to think of words. When I am talking about something specific, I'll forget what the specific thing it. Or I can't remember the correct word to discribe something....I assume more than I should. I always ASSUME things and the assumptions are always wrong. Luckily I am begining to catch myself assuming things, but it's still very rare that I catch myself.
...I speak without thinking sometimes. I will say stuff that gets me into trouble a lot. And it's not me saying out right bad things about people or anything. Just, words will come out wrong, or I'll say something about someone that I shoudn't have.
...I get annoyed VERY easilly. Just about everyone annoys me. Children, old people, teen punks, most adults, authority... lots. I get annoyed very quickly if technology doesn't work right for me. I bang my desk.
...I think I have a serious case of male PMS, because my mood can change *snap* like that. And when I get into a bad mood, and shut down, and don't want to talk to anyone. And I can't get out of it. Not for a while. Worst thing is, I KNOW I am upset for no reason at a point, and I think to myself, "I could just stop being pissed off now, but if I do that, it's weird to me that I just COME OUT of being upset." So I stay upset.
And finally... "When my mother was pregnant with me they did an ultra-sound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultra-sound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had resorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No. I believe his tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man, and a little baby."
Still wanna be friends with me?
