I never felt like such a negro in my life!

About Me

I'm TYLER FREAKING JONES!! Ha Ha!I am the only truly Black-Irish person i know...and i am proud of that. I'm a drama kid and so freaking proud of that...i can't tell you how many times i've used the saying "i have more talent in my pinkie toe than you have in your whole body"...but i've said it alot!! Ha Ha! they say life begins after you finish High School...and it has. I graduated (thank god!!) from Liberty High School and now am attending the University Of Northern Colorado....the town sucks....but the school rocks!I have gone through so many different hardships in my life and i am thankful for everyone one of them. They have made me the independent person i am. I am in no ways perfect...although...i may say it time to time for humorous affect, but i do not think I'm perfect. I'm a work in progress...and i wouldn't have it any other way. I believe in God, but lately God's been testing me with so many things. I don't have a church that i go to because i haven't found the one that fits me perfectly. A good church is like that awesome new shirt you bought at urban outfitters...when it's right...it's right. I just haven't found it yet.Like i said, i've gone through many things...and learned many things...mostly to be independent. i have had to grow up fast because my family split apart fast. my life today is not where i thought i was headed four years ago. but...after everything...i can still find the humor in life and appreciate life for it's irony.That just the thing...i am extremely funny...lol...seriously...humor is the most important thing to me...not really...but you get the point. i'm told I'm quite funny and i love my friends more than you know...they mean the world to me!! and even though i put them through so much stuff...i know the love me too!!

My Interests

I love movies and tv!! i seriously would watch them all day if i could. ohh and food is so awesome these days. i love music too. but my biggest interest is theater, yes i and a prep/drama geek. and yes prep/drama geeks do really exist. were a rare species but we do live. I have found that my interest have been changing. don't worry...i have completly abandoned the stage...but im planning on not being an active member in the plays this year. Well...you see i had Ragtime! Which was my first PRO theatre gig ever and i rocked!! i loved it!!! and real life is so much more different then high school drama!! I also go completly SHAFTED this year in the casting of Oklahoma! i promised my friends that i would stay in it....even though i was SHAFTED for no reason that i see just...but i know in my heart that i will most likely have quit the play within the first two weeks of rehearsal. so i wont be around on the stage as much this year....but high school isn't everything. i still have CAMP this year...and i have great feeling about that. plus.... the real world of acting is just waiting out in Portland for me!!! I still have choir!! Radio jazz is gunna rock again with my awesomely awesome ballad "Nature Boy" so be sure to check that out. also...i have some great ideas for performance fundraisers and such. so keep an eye out!! I got a job at JAMBA JUICE!!! It rocks its the new one at orenco station!! and everyone should come in to see me opening day from 5pm to 10pm!!! openig day is now over it is summer!! Going to nationals and having the worst time ever (READ blog named Theatre is disapointing). going to CAMP again and gettinmg to FLY in a show because you the leader of the winged monkeys!! Cast party at the daughter of the people who own/invented moonstruck coffee who also happens to be the grand-daughter of the owners and inventors of columbia sportswear!...AKA...best party ever!! house sitting for thompson!! finding someone who is the definition of amazing!!! partying with jesuit kids and no getting home tell the next morning!! HEIDI UECKER=FUNNIST MENTOR AROUND! being promoter at Jamba!! Leaning that Theatre and i are not over and being Cast as a lead in the 2007 fall play SCAPIN. Being sylvester in the funniest play "Scapin". Picking Whitney up from the airport an surprising everyone!! hanging at insomnia. Introducing janet to insomnia!! going to see joseph!! Going to The Feist Concert with Mal, Hannah and Oliver. Making up with christa and apologizing for like the third time in my life! Turing 18!!

I'd like to meet:

friends that surprise me with how much they care about me everyday...like the friends i have now! They mean the world to me! You see...i have a problem...i tend to care so freaking much about someone, that to me, it always seems like they don't care. Every friendship to me is freakishly important....so it just feel like I'm not as important to them. I wanna meet people who can understand that. I hate people who are alot like me. like, the people i find the most annoying are the loud, annoying, sarcastic, funny people. people just like me. my shrink says its some sort of self hatred thing...but What ev! As long as your a cool person...and true to yourself and who you are...i will pretty much like you.
