I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm just a guy who fell in love; found out what love really felt like. Then I screwed it up. I had a long-distance relationship that, even though I relished it and always thought of how lucky I was, I still took it for granted. And now I find myself alone again, and grasping to simply earn their friendship back. Now what was to be a trip to spend time together, becomes a sojourn to rid myself of everything else, and find who I really am. And maybe take a first step towards earning a friend...

I'm goofy, open-minded, and I like to make people laugh. I'll usually give anything or anybody a chance, though at the same time I don't give alot of trust easily. I guess I'm just trying to find a niche in life.. going to get into first-aid and computers.. *shrug*; I'm a Gemini, what can I say?

My Interests

Nature, animals, talking about deep things, pushing boundaries of thought, computers, first aid, exploring the world, exploring yourself, anime-(Naruto, Inu-Yasha, Ninja scroll, Galaxy Express 999, many more), The Simpsons-(Older episodes=better), trying new things.

I'd like to meet:

laid-back people to just hang out with while I spend some time in Southern California. I can get along great with anyone who keeps an open mind about things and can stop to question something when it needs it. Messages and comments welcome. Hippie-types more than welcome! :P

Love this video..

Movies:

Hard to name movies; alot are good in different ways for different reasons. And lately the theatres haven't been doing to well. Don't know if I could pick a favourite movie too easily. Pop up some movie opinions and we'll discuss them. :)

Television:

I love The Simpsons, but I really prefer the old writers. The Family Guy would have to be next, and I love Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (with Vic Romano and Kenny Blankenship, rofl). Have to give props to The X-Files (creepy early stories, a bit complicated at the end, but still great). Alot of that 'done-already' sitcom stuff I'm not into, though I found Seinfield hillarious. Don't really watch TV these days, though, unless I'm at someone else's house.

Books:

Love the Wheel of Time series, but I've been dissuaded from it with the jumping around, and haven't progressed past book 5. I love R.A. Salvitore's Forgotten Realms books (Dark Elf Trilogy, IceWind Dale Trilogy, etc). Stephen King has great books, and I want to read more of them now. I desperately want to get into The Vampire Chronicles.. oh, and I grew up on Archie Comics, and as far as I'm concerned, the Digests are books! ;)

Heroes:

Examples of greatness can be found in everyone, but the first Hero to follow is yourself.

The Jimmy Kimmel Show

Well, I went and saw the Jimmy Kimmel Live show today. It was pretty cool; it looks like I'll be on tv, since I was right at the front when we went outside for the live band. The camera literally swun...

Chillin' in North Hollywood

Well, I made it to North Hollywood. It's not actually Burbank that I'm in, apparently. I'm not far from Derek's place; just trying to get a hold of him, but it's hard with no phone. I'm just sitting i...
