About Me

I don't carry a keychain. I don't lock my car doors, so please don't steal from me.I live in Charlotte, NC. I just graduated from a master's program in an area that comes with a really ridiculously long name: Masters of Science in Industrial/Organizational Psychology - Human Resource Management. I want to teach, but I'll probably sell out to the man and work in human resources. I also would dig a job as a labor/management dispute mediator. So hire me, damnit.I'm a behavioral psychologist by practice and thought, but a humanistic psychologist at heart. I try to listen more carefully to body language than spoken because its much more difficult to understand.

My Interests

Everything is interesting to me. Everything also has the potential to be slightly funny to me.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet Morgan Freeman... but I'd like to hire him to follow me around and narrate my life as it happens.Except on Halloween... I'd want to resurrect Vincent Price to narrate on those days.

Music:

Soundtracks to movies. Even bad movies. They sometimes have neat soundtracks. Also, here comes some random free association band names: Yes, Queen, Boney M, Dream Theater, Ash, Crosby Stills and Nash, Frou Frou, Postal Service, Gorillaz, Smashing Pumpkins, Tenacious D, Estradasphere, Nightwish, Guns and/or Roses, Mars Volta, NIN, David Bowie, Radiohead, Royksopp, The Faint, Ayumi Hamasaki, Initial D, ahh... I don't want to think anymore.

Movies:

Night of the Living Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Shuan of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Land of the Dead, and of course, The Iron Giant

Television:

No more TV for me [edit: Except for Lost. Damn that stupid addiction]

Books:

Hitchhiker's Guide, The Stranger, Dante's Inferno, the manual to Super Mario Bros.

Heroes:

Andre the Giant and Mandy Patinkin in The Princess Bride.

Come-uppances

Series one of my favorite all-time movie come-uppances. I can't STAND it when a bad guy dies in a movie and its not satisfying.  It doesn't have to be this huge ironic thing (but sometimes this ...

Thematic Running

Lets face it.  Running can get pretty boring after awhile.  Well, I'm not sure if this could be considered a universal truth.  Some diehard running purists would say that there are alot...

Hurricane Names

I don't like people naming hurricanes after people, and then referring to the hurricane in the news solely by their names, sans the prefix "hurricane". It just makes people with the names "Katrina" an...

People who write textbooks are not friends of mine.

Good god. I know I've been in school for long enough and you'd think I'd get used to this, but I haven't. I mean, come on! I had to spend $480 this semester for some books I'll use for one semester...

My Geeky-Ass Dream (which is the best I've had in awhile)

I don't know about other people, but my dreams are always epic in some manner. Even though I am not overtly geeky in every day life, my dreams often reflect the true nerd that I am. For instance, a ...
