About Me

So, where do you start with something like this? Well, I'm big on thought, ideas and morality. That encompasses a great deal of things so I'll just start with things that I like, and they are, but in no order; philosophy, cars, music(see side bar), ExpressFashion, casual sneakers, German beer, fine sheets, the smell of fall, Chicago, sushi and sashimi, Vodka, concerts, erotic art (Andrew Blake), and last but not least, hand tools. A few words to describe myself would be honest, loyal, content, perserverant, visceral, intelligent, and analytical. I had a plan once...and after it fell apart, like all do, I started improvising and have been ever since. I grew up in a small town in east Tennessee and hated it. I moved to Houston to go to a tech. school then to Chicago for advanced manufacture specific training. I recently moved to Atlanta where most of my family is at. I wanted to take the oppurtunity to work here and feel my way around. I'm an Audi Service Technical Specialist, which is a fancy way of saying that I work on cars. I like what I do and unlike most, am happy with the career choice that I have made. I don't plan anymore. In the future I'm going to move back to Chicago, I like it there greatly. I've been in love once. If you ever get the chance to view the Chicago skyline at dawn from the Signature Room(thanks Megan), do it. I'm good with my hands. I like to use quotes, a lot. I used to play percussion and gutiar. If I could describe myself in one word it would be complex. If you would like to know more, please, do not be afraid to ask. Thank you, and goodnight, to all us Dreamers out there! AIM-jtathomason. Testimonial from a close friend:Abstract thoughts seep from his mind. He loves reality and abstract.

My Interests

Let's see...I love cars of all sorts-old, new, muscle, and exotic. Cars practically drive the blood that flows through my veins. Music keeps me motivatied and is a very important thing to me. I love to play pocket billiards (pool) and think that it is one of the most mentally challenging games out there. Nothing like running rack after rack of 9-ball. I like art also. Big fan of erotic art such as the likes of Andrew Blake and what-not. Old poster, signs and memorabillia of the past are pretty cool to me also. There's probably a few extra things that I can't recall right now, but will come about when in conversation. "The poolhall's a great equalizer. In the poolhall, nobody cares how old you are, how young you are, what color your skin is or how much money you've got in your pocket... It's about how you move. And I remember this kid once who could move around a pool table like nobody had ever seen. I mean, hour after hour, rack after rack, his shots just went in. The cue was part of his arm and the balls had eyes. And the thing that made him so good was... He thought he could never miss."

I'd like to meet:

Some one that has a personality. A being that gives thought to being. The people out there that want to know more and if. The kind of person that thinks all the time but never knows why. I like people that think and people that have their own ideas. I like people period, so I'm not that hard to get along with. I know most people put down here celebs and rockstars but I've met my share. I just want to meet people. People to hang out with and have a beer or maybe meet some one to catch a movie and have dinner with. Be it friends, partners, or relationships, it all has to start somewhere.

Music:

Rammstein, KMFDM, Manson, The Deftones, Fear Factory, MachineHead, Primer 55, Tool, Combichrist, VNV nation, Velvet Acid Christ, The Birthday Massacre, Bauhaus and PIG, Bush, PJ Harvey, Garbage, Crystal Method, God Lives Underwater, K's Choice, Mindless Self Indulgence, NIN, Muse, Aphex Twin, Led Zeppelin, Cracker, Alanis Morrisette, Soundgarden, Beck, White Zombie, Peaches, Manson, She Wants Revenge, Radiohead, Lucia, MDFMK, Rehab, JoyDrop, Almost everyone off the Metropolis label, and quite a few more.

Movies:

Kubrick, Spielberg, Bruckheimer....I love twisted action films to the likes of The Crow, The Professional, The Boondock Saints, and Natural Born Killers. I'm a sucker for older car flicks like Bullit and Vanashing Point. Also some older 80's films with Molly Ringwald. I think she is a great screen actress. Really really big Liv Tyler fan, have all most all of her movies. Andrew Blake films are some of my favs from the 'erotic entertainment' category. One of my guilty pleasures are romantic comedy movies, my fav probably being Love Actually. I love that movie. Those kind of movies usually make me think a lot. I'm actually a really big movie goer and if I see a preview or read a review about a flick that sounds like it might be worth a damn, I'll usually check it out. Sometimes it turns out to be a nightmare, but usually it's cool. "And shepards we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. We shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris, et filii, et Spiritus Sancti."

Television:

The only television show that I watch religiously would be Nip/Tuck, but doesn't anyone who's ever seen a few episodes? So dramtatic, provocative, and clever. Besides that, if I feel like watching the tube it's usually That 70's Show, something on Speed, CC, Spike, or Hist/Bio channels.

Books:

I'm a big Philosophy fan and like books that look into morals and religion. My favorite writer would have to be Fredrick Nietzsche. I have most of his collected works and love how he explains things. The last book that I read was the 48 Laws of Power. Very good book. "A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still read with exactness. "

Heroes:

I grew up a big Batman fan, so I would have to say that would be my Hero. "You want to get nuts? Come on! Lets get nuts! "-Bruce Wayne.
