If you concern yourself with minutia, your life with bee nothing more than just that.

About Me

Anthony. Music is life. Sing, act, dance, all that great stuff as well as doing some instruments as well (Just got a new harmonica... blues harp of course!). I have aspirations to travel the world and help make it better however I need to.. but no one want to hear about that. I also enjoy poetry, anything outdoors, and talking to people both new and old! Feel free to leave comments or IM me. QuickDrawJim7But I wouldn't do both. That might just be too much. :)

My Interests

RPGs, MMORPGs, Video Games, Classic Literature, Music (Rock, Punk, Indie, Folk, Jazz, Classical, and quite a few others mixed in.) Hockey, Paintball, Camping, Hiking, Biking, Current Events, Philosophy, Comedy, Science, (Space, Nature, and Political) Computers, Modern Electronics, Anime, Soccer, Humanitarian Work, and the list goes on.. (not to be confused with the beat... that goes on as well though)

I'd like to meet:

Dave Grohl, Anthony Kiedis, Yoko Kanno, All of Bad Religion, and basicaly anyone whose made a noticeable impact, big or small, on this world we live in.I like meeting all sorts of people, its more of a question if I am going to want to meet them again.

Music:

Play it and I will listen. :)

Movies:

Anything With either Christopher Walkins or Chris Farley. LOTR Series, Bruce Lee films, Knockin on Heavens Door, Clerks, Dogma, Mall Rats, Memento, Hero, Resevoir Dogs, Snatch, uuuuh old Disney Films, old classic movies, Westerns are my new thing (Movie pitch, Clint Eastwood vs. World... though I think they made this one)

Television:

Umm... something I can laugh at or learn from (Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, History Channel, or Discovery) The news is better read, unless its on comedy central. Then its better given with witty and corny remarks and satirically spun.

Books:

Cat's Cradle, The Dark Elf Trilogy, Call of the Wild.Mainly classic literature.. but lately i've been reading Time (its on my side)

Heroes:

I deeply respect many people, but heroes are things for books like Hercules, Odysseus, or Christopher Walken.Oh and anyone who could take all of the puns in the updated profile and my Chris W references.

The Solace of an Artist

  And if no one ever saw my dance,If no one ever heard me sing,I'd smile until my final breath, Knowing, Art is not what you brought, but what you had always tried to bring....

That's what we call a wrap

I'm done. I won't be used anymore. I give and give, Why am I so surprised that they take and take. We're through. I can't have my heart beaten over and over again. I'm human too. Problem with me is I'...

The Heart's Paranoia

They love to see me reeling, See me writhe from side to side, She know's I'm an easy target, Cause my heart's open wide, "Forget her," he says from his high mighty throne, "Become numb," he tells...

Glory

And for once nothing echoed, No refrain came, No insight, No deep thought, Things just were, And (For a kid who talks alot) I sure can appreciate a shared silence....

Don't let it skip

The water we let fall on our battle torn figure pushes us down and revitalizes our spirit at the same time. All the energy in the world could not tame her, nor do I think thats what I want. From with...

Love is Not A Wave, It is The Sea

Love Is Not a Wave, It is The Sea. Love, while having its problems and pains like anything else in this world, is not, in and of itself pain. Love is not quick in passing, but ever changing and everw...
