John Van

Work hard, play hard, sleep hard. Very spontaneous. I book bands tours for a living. I hate very few things: schedules and olives are two, and I hate missing the previews at movies. I love the THX bit you see at the beginning of movies. I love to text and crossing the finish line at races. I love my couch and my lava lamp. Tomatos, chicken, York peppermint patties, almonds, and cereal. I love to eat cereal at night right before I go to bed. I like beer. I like to drink it on fridays and saturdays, and I like to drink more than I should. If I'm in a bad mood, I like to go to a movie or Trader Joe's. I love to run half and full marathons (haven't done one in a while though). I love photos. I like to leave my feet hang out of the covers at night...so they are colder than the rest of my body...I like to watch DVD's, not television. I like to look at what people buy at the grocery store, and create my own story as to why they bought it...and I love to write. Stories, phrases, and ideas. Seeing the world is my passion. Brazil currently has my heart. My ideal vacation is spontaneously buying a plane ticket to a random foreign city and going to a bar and chatting with locals.Get Your Own! | View SlideshowI have no platform in life, but to enjoy it and those within it. I don't analyze people or their words. I take everything at face value. I wish it was easy to say "I'm sorry", but it's hard. If I don't agree with you, I most likely won't argue, I'm pisces, I just want everything to be alright. I'm not a republican or a democrat. What's the difference really? I give money to charities, but spend it like mad as well. I'm pro-choice, but against abortion. I think world hunger is a major issue, but I'll spend $50 on a cut of prime rib. I don't love or hate country music. I hate racism, but understand it. I love the sound of the heater 'kicking' in...I once read someone else loved squeezing 4 people in the back of a cab, and realized I like that too...I can stay home on a saturday night and watch 60 Minutes, or go out Friday to Monday without sleep, doing things I shouldn't and without remembering my name. Both are fun to me. I think I should go to church more, but I'm not sure why. I wear a cross...but sometimes I look at it...and it's just a "T". I can't 'stand' the process of slaughtering a cow, but I can't 'stand' a life without beef. Sometimes I need 3 days alone in my house with no human interaction, and others I need to be bombarded with my friends. I can see both sides to everything, except re-electing George Bush, that makes as much sense as drunk driving. (side note: I've been arrested for that.) Our average life is 68 years for men (i'm halfway). So I'm looking to enjoy ever minute of it.
