About Me

I can't stand it when people buy Christmas presents before October... They call you and tell you not to buy that thing, but don't tell you why, as if you're too stupid to figure it out. So now, not only does you're family think you're a moron, but you also have to wait three months to get something you were going to buy next week, and by the time you do get it, you don't even want it anymore.

My favorite thing about Sunday is waking up at the crack o' dawn to feed the chickens and brush the horses with pa', and singing in the barn with grandma' so the cattle don't get restless, and making sure to pick the very freshest carrots and radishes for the evenin' dinner stew, and then ma' and me churn the butter for the leftover sweet honey-oat bread my sister made for her physics class.

I think the text-messaging sucks. I absolutely hate it. Its time consuming and a bit degrading to be honest. I think every text should start with "hey, you're not important enough to call but;". I mean, lets be honest here. Although, cheet-os to the cell phone industry for finding a great way to market cell phones to deaf people.

Closed Captioning sucks... It just gives gyms the right to put 14 TVs in front of the treadmills. %75 of the TVs are ESPN, and then the rest are news, except for the one that gets to have the Better Homes & Gardens Channel. So all the ESPNs get taken first, which is fine because I prefer Martha Stewart, but all the women flock to that one... so now my fat ass is stuck Running in front of the news, and now I have to read too, so now its 3 things I hate, instead of just 1.
I believe in miracles. Some things cannot be explained by science:

My Interests

Human creativity and originality... and juggling!This is Michael Karas, the reason I got into juggling. I met him at a juggling festival in Texas and got to see him perform live. Victor Borge, "The Great Dane" arguably the greatest piano player of all time, and a model of creativity

I'd like to meet:

That magical man who lives inside of paper.

Music:

Lots of Variety... I like Hip-Hop, but not rap. I like Third Eye Blind, Better than Ezra, Barenaked Ladies and others of that ilk. I also like Brother Ali, Aesop Rock, Matisyahu and other hip-hop artists like that. On top of that, I like to listen to music that fuses genres. Right now I'm listening to a guy named Berne from Belize, its a nice mix of hip-hop and reggae, with an island feel to it.

There is one and only one song that I wish I had never heard, just so I could hear it again for the first time. The only song that I have ever called "perfect". This song makes me feel human.

Mattafix : "Darfur Living"

Movies:

Everyone always lists movies they like, or that they think are "awesome". I think you can tell much more about a person by the movies they don't like... here are the worst movies ever made:
1. Ice Harvest - what a shitty movie with no plot
2. 300 - You expect me to like a movie because its got special effects and pseudo-history?? I think guys said they liked this movie so that they would seem like "macho men", but I think the Village People had a more accurate description of these people.
3. Envy - This movie wouldn't have been bad if... no, nothing could have made this movie not bad.
4. Transformers - Yet another 2hr Corporate commercial fused with crappy one-liners and mindless special effects.
5. Any movie with Chris Kattan.

Television:

Nothing has or ever will come close to the genius that was "STELLA". Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain are amazing comedians.
2. Boston Legal - The only show that even comes close to STELLA, if STELLA we a 100, Boston Legal would be a 99.9KDTY
3. Freaks and Geeks about Planet Radio96.5
4. Arrested Development 94.5KSMB
5. The Office 93.1 6. Curb Your Enthusiasm 93.1
7. My Name is Earl 90.8
8. LOST 90.7
9. Star Trek: The Next Generation 90.6
10. Sports Night 87
... honorable mentions include News Radio, Sesame Street, The Upside Down Show, Acceptable.tv, and SNL(would be higher, but anything that you take out Will Ferrel, Cheri Oteri, Adam Sandler and Phil Hartman only to replace with Chris Kattan and Jimmy Fallon doesn't deserve to be in any top 10... shame on you Lorne!)

Books:

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstien is the greatest book ever written, I enjoyed his other books "Where the Sidewalk Ends", "A Light in the Attic", and "Falling Up".(trivia note: Shel wrote the song "A Boy Named Sue" that was made famous by the great Johnny Cash).

I also enjoy anything by Michael Crichton, especially "Jurrasic Park", "Sphere", and "The Terminal Man".
I also like Dan Brown("Angels and Demons", "The DaVinci Code", "Digital Fortress", and "Deception Point") but he hasn't
produced anything lately.
But don't take my word for it... Ba BUM BAMP!!!
