What're YOU lookin' at?

About Me

What to say... what to say... that's always the dilemma. Sometimes saying nothing is best. But that wouldn't make for a very interesting profile, so I won't do that. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, I haven't quite worked that part out yet. Well, I'm sure I have something to say, I'm just not sure what it is. There once was a man from Nantucket... no, that won't do. I need something better. After all, this is my one chance to impress all of you internet people, who seem to be sooo very hard to impress.
It's 5:06pm right now on a windy Tuesday in December, and I'm sitting in front of my computer drinking a cold Burning River brewed by the Great Lakes Brewing Co. of Cleveland, OH (god bless their souls). I'm listening to Tom Waits's awesome album titled Swordfishtrombones. I've got some laundry going in the dryer down the hall (reminder: don't forget laundry again). I'm exhausted from work, and I'm looking forward to doing nothing for the rest of the night but drinking my beer and listening to my music.
Wait, I don't think I'm doing this right. Am I supposed to be writing random, mundane details about my life? I can't seem to find a help button on this website. Well, I suppose it's not really important. I was just about to describe the strange way the light is reflecting off of a pile of pennies sitting on my dresser, but I forgot exactly what was so strange about it.
Okay, I think I managed to write all of that without providing any info about myself. So, I give you this: I am 24; I love to experience the most random things imaginable; I don't believe in holding back; I find beauty in everything; I don't care what you look like; I don't have a problem with who you are, so don't pretend to be who you are not; I like eating popcorn and sipping cola while watching old movies. That pretty much sums it all up. Hope you enjoy!

My Interests

I'm interested in pretty much everything. Okay, that's probably a lie (I'm realistic). But I love to have fun, and that encompasses many things. I like to drink beer (I promise I'm not an alcoholic), listen to rockin' music, read fantastic books, watch spectacular movies, etc. etc. (it's always the same).

I'd like to meet:

I don't really have a desire to meet any specific person. The people you never think about wanting to meet are always the most interesting, anyway. They've always got this viewpoint about life that's just completely different from your own. It's a valuable learning experience.

Music:

Wiiiide variety of taste here. Big into Indie rock, though. Favorite artists: Tom Waits, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Belle and Sebastian, Neil Young, Pink Floyd (I swear I'm not on the bandwagon), Smashing Pumpkins (can't forget them), and like a million others whom I cannot think of at the moment.

Movies:

I love classics, musicals, foreign films, some indie films, and just about every zombie movie. Not a huge fan of modern day Hollywood cinema, but it has its moments. Some favorites: Amelie, Children of Heaven, Dead Alive, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, My Fair Lady, Rocky Horror Picture Show, etc.

Television:

I don't watch TV, so don't bother talkin' to me about it.

Books:

Hmmm, too many to list. I'm a huge Borges fan (poetry and fictions). Kafka is also my god. I like a lot of the older children's stuff, like Lewis Carroll and Roald Dahl (I'm a child at heart). I read too much to really answer this question properly, so I give up.

My Blog

Log Bentry

I'm back from my self-imposed Christmas vacation. I went sledding and I had snowball fights; I made snow angels and I made snowmen, and then I wondered who would win in a fight. I decided the snow ang...

A sense of peace

I love when a sense of peace comes to rest on my soul, and it feels as if every issue that has ever arisen in my life does not matter because the ultimate goal in life is to be HAPPY, and a sense of p...

So I went to the gas station today

So I went to the gas station today and bought a pack of cigarettes, even though I don't smoke on a regular basis. It just feels nice to have a cig every now and then. It also draws out the savior type...

Blue Skies

I think the weather is in a funk right now. It doesn't want to snow, but it also doesn't want to warm up. So it's hanging around in its funk, all dark and gloomy, spitting out this really cold rain th...

smooooth....

I had a dream about the basement of the house I lived in as a child. It was a very scary basement, all damp and dark and such. There were these huge cave crickets that sat on the walls, and they would...
