About Me

My Interests

Drumming & Austrian Economics, here's a lil' video of the band I'm in

I'd like to meet:

See "Heros"

Music:

I'm too annal to keep this section up to date. I like whatever is playing for you right now.

Movies:

My favorite genre is romantic comedy (more romantic than comedy). Here are my favorites in that category: Keeping the Faith, The Story of Us, Serendipity, Moulin Rouge (I know it isn't really a comedy, but Leguizamo is pretty damn funny), and Say Anything. As far as other types of movies go: Get Shorty, Face Off, A Love Song for Bobby Long, Cradle Will Rock, and High Fidelity (although I would have to say that About a Boy covers some far heavier material, perhaps making it better. But over all you can't go wrong with Nick Hornby) I like a tone of other movies too. Basically anything with Kevin Spacey, John Cusack, John Travolta (except that battlefield movie) Merill Streep (especially in The Hours), Sam Jackson (just kidding, he's an ok actor, but he's picked some really bad movies to be in), Dustin Hoffman, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Anthony Hoppkins, etc. etc. etc.

Television:

Arrested Development, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Scrubs, Smallville, Veronica Mars (and robot chicken from time to time)

Books:

I don't read a ton. but I did really like "Globalization and it's Discontents" by Stiglitz, "Wicked" by Maguire, "Love and Limerence" by Tennov, "Things Fall Apart" by Achebe, and "Killer Poker" by Vorhaus.

Heroes:

John Cusack,

It is what it is

Does anyone reading this have any idea that what you are doing with your life is what you should be doing? Or even if you don't know for sure, do you at least have a peace about it? And even if you ...

Late night goodness

So the bane of my existence is this "natural" split keyboard that I'm typing on.  I think they were a big hit several years ago.  But as I can barely type fluidly on regular keyboards, this ...
