About Me

At the top of my game, yet looking forward to the much I have to learn.

How I made my profile:
I used MyWackoSpace.com 's amazing MySpace Editor .

My Interests

MUSIC ABOVE ALL, ART, GRAPHIC DESIGN, FILM, GOLF, PHOTOGRAPHY, LITERATURE, TRAVEL, COMEDY. WOMEN WHO ARE HIGHLY INTELLIGENT AND DON'T JUST RELY ON THEIR LOOKS AND SEX APPEAL.

I'd like to meet:

down to earth people with fortitude: those who have the determination to chase a goal even if they think it's not possible and keep trying. those who have the patience to not pass judgement because they're in too much of a hurry to decide how they need to feel about something in order to protect themselves. those who have the balls to like someone or something that may not like them back. those who have the guts to be wrong. those who have the decency to apologize for their mistakes. those who take ownership and responsibility for their shit. those who are strong enough to not ask you to carry their luggage for them. those who speak their true mind when the opportunity presents itself and can still laugh at themselves as often as possible. those who have an opinion and can back it up. those who make me laugh my ass off: the sarcastic, the goofy, the clever and the witty.

Music:

Couldn't go half a day without music. It's in the same category as air, water and food for me. According to iTunes the following are my most listened to, but not in order: Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Ben Harper, Audioslave, the Beatles, Zeppelin, George Harrison, Muse, Ben Folds, Gomez, Calexico, Depeche Mode, Tragically Hip, The Tea Party, The Killers, Sade, Jay-Z, Da Roots, Black Eyed Peas, Old School Hip Hop and R & B and some of the new, Otis Redding, Pink Floyd, Rage Against the Machine, Stevie Wonder, Maroon 5, Coldplay, John Mayer, Billy Joel, Elton John, Tom Petty, Chili Peppers, Old Prince, Foo Fighters, CAKE, Incubus, David Gray, A Perfect Circle, Damien Rice, Oldies, Old Mowtown, Thomas Newman, Sinatra, Lenny Kravitz, Nina Simone, and so much more....

Movies:

Shawshank Redemption. Amercian Beauty. Fight Club, Road to Perdition. Gladiator. The Insider. In the Name of the Father. Cinderella Man. I dig stories about triumph over adversity and beating the odds: Determination, going after what you want. Will sit through any movie that Thomas Newman does the music for...or that Pacino or Russell Crowe is in. Snatch. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Tin Cup. Heat. Blow. Garden State. The Color of Money. Risky Business. Devil's Advocate. Vanilla Sky. Sin City. Boiler Room. Stranger Than Fiction.

Television:

no primetime. no reality tv. educational, documentary, comedy, golf, or seinfeld reruns

Books:

Personal: The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand. The Prophet, Khalil Gibran. Epigrams and Interludes, Nietzsche. Stanger Music, Leonard Cohen. Business: The Brand Gap, Marty Neumeier. Good to Great, Jim Collins. Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki. The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump: the guy's got brains and balls of steel, even tho he's kind of an ass.

Heroes:

The Wonder Twins: was fucked up though how the chick was always something cool and the guy got the short straw. She would be like a turbo charged vacuum cleaner and he'd be the vacuum bag. Dude should of stood up to that biatch.
