You know there's nothing to steal from my mom and Craig!

About Me

My name is Daniel. I live in Chicago. I'm studying Animation at Columbia College, which means I have the ability to create life using a pencil and paper. A lot of people think I'm gay the first time they meet me. Other people just think I'm pissed off at them (not true on both counts). The best part of my day is finding new comments on my page, even though I never leave comments on anyone else's. If you read my dislikes below and start to think, "This dude is cranky," I ask that you check out my interests on the left. It evens out the negative stuff.THINGS I CAN'T STAND: Anime, Shrek 1,2, & any future Shreks, American cheese, germs, the term "balls deep", Asian cuisine, Family Guy, improv, people who think improv is art, finding out that a band/song I like has been featured in an episode of "Grey's Anatomy", Outkast, my extreme shyness, my overweight body, hair loss, my low self esteem, the term "reamed out", stickers on car windows of Calvin urinating on something, Louis XIV, Jamster ringtone commercials that come on every six minutes, Bratz, alcoholics, Napoleon Dynamite, The Cure, being called "Princess", Mars Volta, sore throats, Kevin Federline, U2, Scene it?, my friends not letting me try crack just one time, The Thrills, people who order grape soda at McDonald's, The Matrix, signing autographs, NHL strike, being called "Smelly Scannelly, the Dumb Fucking Mick", lettuce, having my collar bone touched, imported foods, exposed mattress, having my ears bent forward, Jennifer Lopez, Americans who say "cheers", cats, Kevin Smith and his shitty little movies, opaque fruit snacks, Will Smith songs, Whoopi Goldberg, and little kids at Chuck E. Cheese who stand in front of an arcade game, pretending they're playing the game even though they didn't put in any tokens, thus making the game unavailable to people who actually HAVE tokens and would like to play.
