About Me

I like to write and record and play music a lot. These days I'm playing guitar for a bunch of different random or wonderful people. I have a band called TAP, you should check them out on myspace dooood, even though we haven't played a show in like years. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------I have a puppy, Molly, with whom I am completely in love. Those of you who know her know what I'm talking about. She is the best thing ever. Except when she destroys things, like my Easy Mac hat. And when she pees on my room mate's bed. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------Some things I enjoy are a good cup of tea (I drink at least 5 to 10 cups a day), a good swim (I try to go swimming every day if I can), a good shag (just kidding, but not really), a good book, a good film, a good band. I'm in the mood for rock and roll. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------Here are a few tidbits of advice I recently learned: ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- - "love is nothing but lust and cheating and lies. Love is the blackest of all plagues, but you don't even die of it and it usually passes, only fools die of love. If everything is imperfect in this world, love is perfect in it's imperfection." ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- - "No man can live with Death and know that everything is nothing. Most people think neither of Death, nor nothingness, until they stand on the edge of life and see the Darkness. We must make an idol of our fear and call it God."Poodle Fitness

The Everything Test

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.

Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-)

Personality
You are more logical than emotional, more concerned about others than concerned about self, more atheist than religious, more dependent than loner, more lazy than workaholic, more traditional than rebel, more artistic mind than engineering mind, more idealist than cynical, more leader than follower, and more extroverted than introverted.

As for specific personality traits, you are romantic (86%), artistic (77%), musical (68%), intellectual (67%).

Stereotypes
Emo Kid 89%
College Student 73%
Punk Rock 73%

THE REAL REASON FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ

It's becoming increasingly clear that George W Bush played along with the neo-conservative and the pentagon by using 911 as a pretext for the Iraq war, when the real reason, stupid as it sounds, was t...
