About Me

I'm a 28 year old geek from Kentucky. I like video games, music, computers, and cool techy toys. I like to go bowling on the weekends, sometimes go to a movie.

My Interests

I enjoy playing arond on computers. For the past year or so I have been repairing Macintosh computers for the public school system. Within the past year I have been making an unconscious switch to Macintosh myself. I listen to music all the time as I always have at least my iPod with me (unless I'm at a customers house while they're staring over my shoulder as I work). I am a professional slacker in need of some direction, but I guess everyone needs a little direction every now and again.

I'd like to meet:

Bee Arthur

Music:

I like pretty much all kinds of music, except most country and gospel. Good hip-hop is what I've been listening to lately since there isn't too much good new rock these days. Tool and the newest Isis live disc are the only good real rock albums to come out in many months (Peeping Tom is also excellent, but Mike Patton is very hard to classify in any one category). I cannot stand emo-neo-punk-crap that is everywhere. Good hip-hop with some meaning (bling-bling just gets old): Jurassic 5 (Feedback, their newest, is a masterpiece), Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common Sense, I also enjoy down tempo and chilled-out grooves from bands like Air, Zero 7, and Nightmares on Wax.

Movies:

Strangers With Candy (NEW and HILARIOUS), The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby (or almost any Will Farrell flick), Clerks 2 (or anything by Kevin Smith), Boondock Saints, Requiem For A Dream, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Big Lebowski, the first Batman movie

Television:

Family Guy, Simpsons, The Office, Arrested Development, Reno 911 is good sometimes, My Name Is Earl, and most of the Adult Swim comedy block

Books:

horror novels, old science fiction

Heroes:

that guy from the Micro Machines commercials when I was a kid
