..type='submit' value='Take This Survey'
CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!I'm the kind of guy who has been everything everyone has wanted for a long time at the expense of being himself. I've seen and been through a lot and I've always accepted it. I've spent a lot of time being fake and not being myself.That's all changed, now. I live for me and the betterment of myself and my friends. I'm extremely goal oriented and very impatient with myself moreso than others. I feel like my life is a total waste when I'm not constantly learning new things and pushing the envelope on a world of issues yet to be challenged. Getting to know me takes all the honesty you can muster, both with me, others and yourself. I'm a tough critic nowadays on honesty when it comes to my friends because anyone I'm willing to trust blindly should never break that trust. I'm most certainly not against breaking away from relationships that don't have a strong foundation of trust.I don't do the a/s/l thing on myspace. Don't bother with the "hey, you're cute" crap messages on here. Either get to know me, or don't. I don't like being someone's friend for the sake of their my friends counter to go up. eYou are no more special with 9,000 people as your "friends" than you are with 150 of them (Having 9,000 friends by the way, is logically impossible, so you people look really silly doing that to yourselves).That all sounds really conceited and self centered, but I'm like that in some ways. It's really just the consequence of my losing patience with things like AIM, MySpace and Facebook. Spare me the people who go on here looking for hookups (oo, I just insulted A LOT of people) and the people who have resorted to living in facades because it's easier to lead a life unexamined than deal with the truth (and I insulted almost everyone else here now. Guess I'll have a low friend count).Just let it be known, being too much is just the beginning of how I roll.

Too many people know me and I know enough people.

Music:

Whatever is playing, I'm cool with it. I have such a wide array of different styles of friends that I've been exposed to almost every genre. I guess that's a benefit to living in NYC -- you become more well rounded.

Movies:

A Bronx Tale...Memento...Scarface...Resevoir Dogs...Ocean's Eleven... Fight Club...Training Day... The Last Samurai... The Boondock Saints...The Recruit...Se7en...Lucky Number Slevin...anything Hitchcock... anything Scorsese... most Tarantino... the list goes on and on.

Television:

Family Guy, American Dad, The Boondocks (all cartoons) and Conan O'Brien (who reminds me of a cartoon), The Colbert Report, The O'Reilly Factor (for its ridiculous-ness), The Office (b/c it's like MY office), Scrubs, Old School SNL, MAD TV from just about any point in time, most anything on The History Channel and The Discovery Channel. So I'm a nerd. It's not like anyone didn't know that.

Books:

The Art of War, The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, Anthem, The Prince, Leviathan.

Heroes:

Sun Tzu and Ayn Rand. I see some of my friends as my heroes in some ways, too.
