About Me

Shame on me for letting the same emo bullshit sit in this spot for two years.
I am a student at Iowa State, I am gearing up for law school. I am also a dork, I love video games, cartoons, and horror flicks.
I own cats, they rock, be sure to add them as friends. I am a music freak, currently spinning a few albums by the great rock outfits of the 90s thru today.
I am a political science student. I love politics, and if you dont, you probably wont like me.
War: When rich people force poor people to kill other poor people to make rich people richer.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
-Edmund Burke
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Social Democrats,
and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Social Democrat.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists,
and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew,
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.

What philosophy do you follow? (v1.03)

Let the world know you don't like MTV either.

My Interests

Politics. There is too much suffering in the world, and political thought is the only thing thats gonna change it. Paintings, achitecture, sculptures, rock, techno, jazz, classical, hip hop music. Most spectator sports, video games, and movies. Horror movies and mind fuckers are my faves. I also love the 80's, mostly because I was young when it was happening and didnt know how fucked everything was then.

I'd like to meet:

People with strong minds and hearts. Everyone (especially people on myspace) thinks they are smart and most other people are stupid. Most of the people who think that are stupid too. I am stupid. There is so much i dont know... yet. But i want to know more, and i like meeting people who possess intellectual curiousity. If you can teach me something of value, then yes i want to know you. But for the love of God, NO i wont be "friends" with your goddamned band... unless you are Orgy. Orgy rocks like few others of their time.

Music:

I am obsessive compulsive with music. Here are my most recent obsessions:
2005 Nine Inch Nails
2005 Z-Trip, Gorillaz, Chemical Brothers
2005 Static X
2005 Free songs from Itunes!
2004-2005 A Perfect Circle
2004 Slipknot
2004 Orgy (again)
2003-2004 Marilyn Manson
2003 Incubus
2003 Korn
2003 Delirium
2003 System of a Down
2002 Tool
2002 Linkin Park
2002 Blaze
2002 Xzibit
2002 Madonna
2001 Insane Clown Posse
2001 Twiztid
2001 Soundgarden
2001 Disturbed

1980-1999 Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd, Guns n Roses, Stone Temple Pilots, Led Zeppelin, Nine Inch Nails, Supertones, White Zombie (Astrocreep is the reason i like the music i do today), Prince, and Duran Duran come to mind...

Movies:

Horror movies, especially Nightmare series. Any Charlie Kaufmann flicks. Tarantino films ftw. 80s movies that remind me of happy moments from childhood. M. Night Shamylan movies. Tim Burton, Alan Ball, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman... Gore Verbinski, Bill Murray... hell i love movies in general. Oh and Vin Diesel is the least talented actor in the long, dark history of acting.

Television:

Southpark
Six Feet Under
Scrubs
The Simpsons
Family Guy
Aqua Teen
ESPN
Oz
Please note, this is the ONLY tv i will watch, as i pretty much hate everything else on television!

Books:

Lewis Carroll's books about Wonderland are my favorites. Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984, most of Stephen King's books are great, especially IT and the Dark Tower. I enjoy the Bible. Michael Moore has written well also.

Heroes:

The people who designed these:
