About Me

I'm a 22 year old dude from Lake Zurich, Illinois a suburb of Chicago. . .
I am an individual who is not concerned with following trends of any sort. . .I just do what I do and do what I know while always trying to keep my mind open to new things. . . I identify with most things related to the counter culture but I do have some mainstream thoughts and beliefs in me. From my tastes in music to the way I dress . . . from the friends I have to the people I work with . . . from the women I have been with to the family that I have . . .I have many different faces that all people view . . . and many different characteristics, thoughts, and processes on the inside that no one can see . . .
. . . I can be the life of any party . . . but more often than not walk alone and live on the outside of groups and communities . . .I am gifted at writing and broadcasting . . . but struggle to apply myself towards the mundane objectives that will help me get to where I want to be in life . . . I am as athletic and physically fit as a douche bag jock, bar hoppin, club head . . . but am a fan of hard rock, poker, video games, and more personal social activities . . . I wear baggy pants with lots of pockets, necklaces, rings, and armbands. . . . . but also wear collared shirts, ties, and cufflinks that you see on those who consider themselves the pinnacle of debonair . . .
. . . I have found that everyone is way to willing and wanting to judge a book by it's cover and base their opinions on a first and a brief impression . . . and if that is the way you are then you best keep surfing the net because I cannot be judged and labeled with a single view of a web page . . .no matter how much of myself I have tried to put into it . . . I am someone that has to be taken in and has to be washed over you until you can "get" who I am . . . I can be very caring and sympathetic but also can be very cold and overly straightforward . . . I can put peoples' jaws on the floor when they here the busy schedule that I keep between work and college . . . and can be ashamed of how lazy and unambitious I can be at times . . . I can bring an entire building to a high pitched laughter with my sense of humor . . . and can silence an entire room when consistent negative external events bring my mood to melancholy at best . . .
. . . I have plenty of skeletons in my closet from childhood through adolescence . . . but instead of letting them rule me, I use them to learn how to make myself a better person than I was then . . . I am a creature of habit . . . but have become more willing to try new things of any and all kinds in this era of my life. . . I have had my trust violated more times than I care to count . . . which has made me cold at heart . . . . . but I have warmed up over the years and am more willing to take chances on life now more than ever . . . . . and if you need to know more about who I am . . . maybe these descriptions below can be of some assistance . . . . . and in case you are wondering . . . . no, I am not a depressive art student who thinks black is the brightest color and is determined to only be a fan of things that aren't mainstream . . . I just unwillingly fall into that profile sometimes. . .
. . . hard working slacker. . .
. . . realistic dreamer . . .
. . . metal head sports fan . . .
. . . impatient procrastinator . . .
. . . loner who seeks attention . . .
. . . health conscious fast food junkie . . .
. . . economical gambler . . .
. . . self conscious narcissist . . .
. . . open minded creature of habbit . . .
. . . sloppy perfectionist . . .
. . . late blooming prodigy . . .
. . . kind-hearted antisocial . . .

My Interests

Hosting my award winning radio show, working out, becoming a more complete person, seeing movies in uncrowded theaters, being a night-owl, shooting pool, gambling in the form of poker (NLH), playing basketball, listening to music, playing sand/beach volleyball, pro wrestling, bowling (both comsic and domestic), playing video games with my friends, sleeping in on my day(s) off, layin back & watchin tv, and of course partying with all my friends and acquaintences. I'm also big on honesty/ straight fowardness without being uneccassarily cruel, being humble aka not taking oneself too seriously, creativity, truly being able to be oneself without fear of rejection, originality, and taking responsibility for one's own actions and choices . . .

I'd like to meet:



Music:

I'm a hard rock/ heavy metal fan but the more coherent style, NOT death or black metal. Godsmack, Monster Magnet, Rammstein, Guns 'N Roses, Buckcherry, Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Alter Bridge, Nothingface, and Saliva round out the crem de la creme.
But there are many others who haven't just gotten into my head but have gotten into my blood as this genre tends to do. AFI, Drop, Pantera, KMFDM, MegaDeth, Killswitch Engage, Static X, Ozzy Osbourne, Nirvana, Staind, Fear Factory, COLD, Rage Against the Machine, A Perfect Circle, Slipknot, Mudvayne, White/Rob Zombie, Chevelle, Filter, Drowning Pool, Tool, Velvet Revolver, Stone Sour, American Head Charge, Soundgarden, Taproot, Sevendust, Nine Inch Nails, Damageplan, Black Sabbath, Seether, Papa Roach, Chimaira, Audioslave, Dropbox, Atreyu, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Disturbed, KoRn, Shadows Fall, Puddle of Mudd, Godhead, Rise Against, and even Limp Bizkit before Fred Durst became the new Axl Rose. . .
Some bands/artists of other genres or lighter forms of rock that I have gotten into over the past several years include: Robert Randolph and The Family Band, Johnny Cash, The Polyphonic Spree, Default, 12 Stones, Kanye West, Tenacious D, Three Eleven, George Clinton and Parlimant Funkadelic, Shinedown, Hoobastank, Creed, The Killers, Coldplay, The White Stripes, Ozomatli, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Fuel, Justin Timberlake, Eric Clapton, The Roots, Lacuna Coil, KISS, Public Enemy, Sammy Hagar, Mos Def, Tom Waits, My Chemical Romance, Stevie Wonder, Dave Matthews Band, OutKast, MUSE, Pearl Jam, Black Eyed Peas, Bush, Linkin Park. . .

Movies:

The types of genres that peak my interest are action, comedy, psychological/ suspense thrillers, comic book movies, and documentaries
As far as specific movies go, Animal House and Blues Brothers are tied for my favorite. Some of my other favorites are The View Askew Trilogy (Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) minus Chasing Amy. . . as well as The Matrix Trilogy. Payback, Poolhall Junkies, Nothing to Lose, Rounders, The Good Theif, Fight Club, The Departed, and Tombstone amongst many many others.

Books:

In grade school I read most of John Bellairs' books/ novels. Now a days most of my reading is done in the form of textbook reading for college courses and audio books I listen to in my car. . . I also read some magazines like Sports Illustrated, Wired, Cargo, Men's Health, and a small Punisher comic book collection. . .

Heroes:

My heros are people who are who they are and don't compromise for society, women, or anything in between. Those people who want to be unique, rather than blend in. Those who take pride in being an individual, and not just another face in the crowd. As far as people I've idolized I guess the list would be Slash, Scott Levy aka Raven, Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Bret Hart, John Belushi, Bill Maher, and Walter Payton.
