About Me


Not that anyone reads these things... but this is what I has to say about me:
I've spent over a quarter of a century on this Earth, and have yet to accomplish any major milestones. I've aquired vast knowledge, in no particular field, that is often referred to as "useless". However, I condemn the phrase "useless knowledge", even though you may hear me utter it. No knowledge is ever useless. Knowledge feeds knowledge. Understanding one thing can lead to understanding something entirely new when it's placed in front of you.
Often times I just feel that I was born either too late, or too early... but this most definately is not my time. Had I existed in centuries past, I might have been a philosopher. I enjoy applying massive amounts of thought to minute issues and I overanalyze everthing. I believe the universe is a series of fractals within fractals, from a microbial level growing exponentially to a universal level... that it will eventually implode upon itself... and that this just may have all happened before.
I can best describe myself as a mental defect with occasional moments of brilliance. I am a conundrum. I am the quintessence of confusion, and I drive myself and others around me insane. I care too little about things that most people hold dear as being important, and spend way too much time pondering inane ideas. No one really knows me, and never will, for I have yet to find myself. When I do... I'll let ya know. But, if the ironies of my life thus far are any indicate, it will most likely be moments before my demise.
I don't believe in the socially accepted trend of pandering to the lowest common denominator. If we are to grow as a people, I feel the higher end of the bell curve needs to bring the lower end up... not the other way around. There was a time in this country's history where people rose up to the standards long before the standards were ever lowered to the people. What happened? We've come full circle and got it all bass-ackwards.
I don't like the gradual shift our country seems to be making towards being a police-state lately, and I hope we wake up as a people before it's too late. I don't believe in insanity, at least not in the traditional sense. I believe in people who see things differently. History shows, for millenniums now, that brilliance has often been confused with insanity... and yet we still repeat that trend? Remember: very few thought that the world was round... and lesser still thought that a fledgling group of colonies full of revolutionaries could break free from the motherland and make something of themselves.

My Interests

abnormal people, adam sandler, alphabetizing general interests lists, bang bang bang, being different, blue eyes, body piercings, camping, cars, comedy, cunnilingus, drinking games, driving, fire, girls with guns, grammar, guns, love, hate, homestarrunner.com, ice, intelligent women, jay and silent bob, kama sutra, kids in the hall, kurt vonnegut, making people think, money, monty python, music, overthinking things, psychology, rambling, sarcasm, self-destructive actions, sex, shakespeare, shooting, stephen lynch, tattoos, texas hold 'em, tom green, trent reznor, trucks, video games, xbox, basically my interests vary in breadth and depth and I am sure I have forgotten more than I have listed.

I'd like to meet:


Kurt Vonnegut, Trent Reznor, myself in thirty years, people who have an IQ that doesn't correlate to their age, and all the mental patients in the world (so I could interview them for my book I'm never writing).Oh, and people who can explain Facebook to me because I am completely ignorant as far as that site is concerned.

These people are guilty by association...

Music:

First and foremost... the sweet, sweet 'love music' I make with your mother. Now that that's out of the way... (216), 80's music, :wumpscut:, a perfect circle, adema, atreyu, billy idol, blind melon, bloodhound gang, box car racer, chemical brothers, chimaira, clutch, coal chamber, coldplay, counting crows, crossbreed, crystal method, deftones, devildriver, disturbed, dope, earshot, evanescence, everlast, faith no more, fear factory, filter, guns and roses, god lives underwater, godsmack, hatebreed, house of pain, ill nino, insane clown posse, jack off jill, kittie, korn, marilyn manson, meat beat manifesto, metal, mindless self indulgence, mudvayne, mushroomhead, nine inch nails, nirvana, octane, otep, outkast, paul oakenfold, paul van dyk, pearl jam, pink floyd, radiohead, rammstein, rob zombie, slipknot, soil, southpark, spineshank, stone sour, stp, sublime, system of a down, taproot, the doors, union underground, thrice, thrill kill kult, tool, white zombie. Again, I am sure there are more I missed but at least that's a start.

Movies:

a beautiful mind, adaptation, american beauty, american history x, being john malkovich, funny movies, mallrats, the matrix, willy wonka, anything with a plot that screws you up in the head, and anything Kevin Smith makes. I've forgotten more movies than I remember... but I'm prone to quoting them at any given time.

Television:

TV rots your brain... and mine is about as fresh as three week old bananas. I watch too much TV in general. I love Southpark, the Simpsons, the family guy, the o.c. (yeah, so eff-off), the sopranos, anything funny, the discovery channel, the history channel, and whatever is on that I can use as an excuse to put things off until tomorrow.

Books:

What the hell happened to my books section? Who hacked me?

Heroes:

Heroes are meant to fall and idolizations lead to assimilation all too often, so I tend to avoid them both.

FTW, my friend. FTW.
You may be gone, but will never be forgotten. Thank you for all that you gave to us, and for challenging me to become a better person on a daily basis.
