The Dissonance to Here...

About Me


I'm arrogant, insecure, confident. I still buy toys. Buddhism appeals to me. I care what others think, yet I don't think like many others. I use the internet way too much. I like Star Wars but think George Lucas is the Devil. I'm impatient when it comes to movies, music and TV shows. I'm too patient with my own future. I hoard things I don't need. I still like the pop music of my youth. I think the world is more important than Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Britney yet feel shunned if I talk about it. I love superhero stuff but can't be bothered reading comics. I'm strangely fascinated by Nazis and the Holocaust. I hate the obsession with the economy yet would happily allow Apple to run my life. I think religious dogma is the root of all evil. I think the Muppets are funnier than they probably are. I want to go outdoors more.
