About Me

Quiet kid who is up for almost anything. Basically I'm a fiend for entertainment. People tend to tell me everything. I just give that vibe, I guess.Thanks for reading me.

My Interests

Watching anything in entertainment. I hate that I know all sorts of entertainment info but I eat that shit up. I need to get a lot more experiences under my belt so this list will seem small to me. I dig going to shows and flicks, art fairs (though been low on agenda lately), bars. I don't dance but I like good music.

I'd like to meet:

Intelligence, fun, cursin', movies, music books, information, experience, silly, sardonic, biting sarcasm (all in fun), strong willed. Yep those are me, kinda, and what I like.

Music:

Chick singers tend to be my weakness. I don't mean Chick as a bad thing, female vocalist just seems uptight, but I'm willing to conform to anyone's preference.Pixies, Sleater-Kinney, Portishead, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Prince, R.A.T.M., A.F.I., Nine Inch Nails, Sarah McLachlan, Indigo Girls, OutKast, Roots, Ani Difranco, the Donnas, the Distillers, New Pornographers, the Shins, Dresden Dolls, Neko Case.mash-up tunes, Motown, Funk, rock, riot grrl, punky stuff, lo-fi, lots of other stuff. Kind of a basic overview, I'll add more later and as I see'em.If you have any ideas of people that I should look out for please share.

Movies:

I worked at video stores off and on for 5 years. This will take a while. Whatever comes to my head must have made and impression. Here's, um... a few.Run Lola Run, Shawshank Redemption, The Professional, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Amelie, Magnificent Seven, Hackers, Kevin Smith Trilogy, Kill Bill, Out of Sight, Adv of Baron Munchausen, Winnie the Pooh, anything with Mickey Rourke, Kurosawa stuff, The Warriors, Purple Rain, Peanuts cartoons, Empire Records, Big Night, Intacto, Red Violin.

Television:

A fiend for it. I feel bad for watching it so much. I just tune in and tune out. I like comedy central, discovery, mtv... kinda, bravo, hbo, tlc. I just love stories and stuff coming at me and I rarely think too hard at it. Now I'm down. Thanks myspace for revealing my inner shame.

Books:

Like to read. Just a couple, not as smart as I should read, but what I dig:Atlas Shrugged, any Elmore Leonard, Picture of Dorian Gray, Dark Tower saga, Battle Royale.I need to look at more books on art and how-to books.Oh... and my girl gave me a copy of Stich'N'Bitch... and taught me the basics of knitting... apparently I'm a natural. What can I say? I'm good with my hands... smirk.Been reading a lot more for fun than education or enrichment lately.

I recently told a friend that I'm not a religious person, and I'm not.  But I have been having a very strange weekend in dreams and the media with which I have come into contact.  And I came...

What's the longest word in the English language?

Why, smiles, of course.  There's a mile between each "S"... ugh, lame. Okay, so my girl says that I don't smile enough.  I smile, I do.  Just not ear to ear grins(unless I'm with my dad...

Time

I've stumbled across a couple of friends from high school's myspace pages.  Interesting.  I'm seriously not good at posting on my blog.

Hiya

I'm not happy about work at the moment, and seeing as no one reads this, I'll leave it at that.

Movies in the park

Saw E.T. with friends in Grant Park.  Amazing movie and amazing scene.  Short and sweet post.
