I'll rock off your socks off....

About Me

LIKES: --Music. Playing music. studying rythms and practicing them. playing music with bands, playing a nonmusical instrument as musically as I can. --Hanging with my friends.. who are all amazing. Yes all of you. --Learning (all aspects of it). Trying to see the positives in every situation. Seeing both sides of every situation. Admitting when Im wrong. Being humbled. --Being ready for anything. I try to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. --Acting strange in a way as to make people feel as awkward as possible... especially people I barely know. The longer the uncomfortable silence, the more points you get. --Playing drums and the days where I get to practice for hours. The joy of knowing that the music isn't the notes, but what's inbetween the notes. --Staying in to watch a movie and eating a shitload of popcorn. Going out and getting tipsy. --People watching. This is a constant thing. --Reading a damn good book. Unfortunately it's hard to find the time for this these days. --The outdoors. Leave the city for a bit, you'll be amazed at how much you love it. Waking up early and going climbing.... even if I stayed out and partied too late. --teamwork. comradery. I would rather work as a team then compete one on one with someone. --Being so busy I have no idea where to fit everything in. It's only then that I can be productive. --Staying up late and waking up early. Dont get me wrong, sleeping is amazing, but lets face it, you get to do stuff when your awake. --Running long distances at a rediculously late hour (bonus if its in the rain) during the summertime. --The United States of America. And if you dont like it, do something about it or leave. This is the greatest country in the world. Responsible for bad things? Sure, every country is. Responsible for the greatest number of noble acts in recorded history? Your damn staight. I love this country. (This doesn't necessarilly mean I fully support this administration... recanize..) DISLIKES: --When people are completely oblivious to anyone in their vicinity, and uncaring of some peoples need to get going, and take up an entire walkway or aisle. (This happens a lot in grocery stores) Am I the only one that sees this? Or am I taking crazy pills?! --Under no circumstances should anyone walk around with a bluetooth ear-piece when not in use. --All you folks that like to drive slow in the passing lane. Its called a passing lane, not the fast lane or the annoying lane. Bad drivers. People who speed up to prevent you from getting over when you have had your blinker on forever. --At concerts when the crowd either claps off beat (on the 1 and 3) or completely out of whack altogether. When in doubt, stop clapping... please - For everyone's benefit. --When its someones birthday, and they announce to everyone they see that this is the case (in a way as to attract the most attention possible) - and then that someone makes you feel like its an obligation to celebrate it. Not fun. --When others are uncomfortable. I have a very hard time sitting when someone else is standing. I have a hard time being happy when a single person around me is not. --cellphones. Along with myspace, will contribute to the downfall of humanity. And yet here I am, checking my myspace page and talking with someone on the phone.

Music (playing and listening), drums, drumming, running, climbing, travel, movies, reading, friends, food, school, ghosts, rain, fall, the outdoors, people, road trips, U-turns, shakes, going barefoot, gas station and tourist t-shirts, deeply contemplating "trivial" things, not worrying about "trivial" things, trying to curse less but doing it anyway, popcorn, crisp Colorado and northern California air, no longer bothering with politics and yet sharing my opinions at tasteful times.
