So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
shameless self promotion, i've got a band
I've worked so hard on things that never seemed to pay off. But looking back I realize they never really meant that much. And if I let you down, it might not be the last time. I'm sorry, and I know how it feels when my eyes see a loser in the mirror. I think "What did I do?" Sure I fucked up, but I got back up, so that loser shit's out the window.
And if I let you down, it might not be the last time. Cheer up, it will hurt much less tomorrow. We're all tired of fucking up and that's not just being sorry. It means brush the dirt off, get up and try again.
When you're sick of trying, how can you expect to succeed? I can't recall my first failure, and I'll forget this one too over time.
And if you've been let down and if it's not the first time, cheer up, it will hurt much less tomorrow. We're all tired of fucking up and that's not just being sorry. It means brush the dirt off, get up and try again
translate your good intentions into good deeds...

My Interests

my accomplishments, what's it to you?
i try my best at what i do
live this day to have some fun
won't change my goals, so i guess you've won
your advice a waste of time
knowing what i've earned is mine
my way of life you think it's funny
because i have more friends than money

I'd like to meet:

Don LaFontaine
and anyone who can tell me which city in the country has both good burritos and pizza, because i'm pretty sure it's a myth...

If you think that violence solves anything, if you enjoy being "militant" anything, if you enjoy speaking with authority on things that you truly don't understand and aren't willing to learn, if you believe that forgiveness is for the weak, if you believe anyone should be your enemy, if you believe being "brutally honest" is more important than kindness, then you might just find yourself uncomfortable talking to me.

Music:

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...

Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?

Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.

Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?

Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?

Marty DiBergi: I don't know.

Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.

Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

Movies:

short list:
star wars, pumpkinhead, happenstance, princess bride, chasing amy, wayne's world, over the hedge, the crow, azumi, last house on the left, the muppet movie, stand by me, breaking away, quicksilver
