Ok.

About Me

I am a self-taught winker. No lie..........I think my fingernails are starting to grow faster...........Red seedless grapes are my favorite fruit. It's not even close........I have road rage.........I couldn't tie my shoes until I was 6........I have a horror story involving parachute pants......When I was a kid, I accidentally hit my dog with a metal baseball bat. He started randomly biting people after that. I don't think it was related.........I can only snap the fingers on my left hand. I am right-handed.......I have more than one(3) family member that was in an accident with a train. Poor gene pool......Besides all that, I'm 6'3", 195 pounds, have semi-red hair, and am deceptively handsome. I want to live in the north, because I like cold weather and pine trees, and the accent. I want to own a pickup and drive around with a dog in the back. I try to be artsy, and sometimes I pull it off. I'm changing on a daily basis.

My Interests

I like my Ipod, cheese, milkshakes, procrastination, going places, sleeping, reading, basketball, laughing, sitting, standing, walking, talking, hopscotch, Mexican food, foursquare, crochet, woodworking, caligrophy, voodoo, wineries, pianos, computers, trophies, crockpots, the camry, houseplants, biology, and other stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Morons, so I can make fun of them in front of their face, without them knowing........ Anyone who doesn't know the name of Tom Cruise's kid. Celebrity gossip makes me sad......... Cans of beer......... Somebody who can do my laundry for cheap.

Music:

Music is great. I love it. Sometimes, it gets forced down my throat, which makes me hate it. Music snobs annoy me. My musical interests are pretty eclectic(I know. Everyone says that. I don't care.) I'm really into indie rock right now. I love The Decemberists, Cold War Kids, and shit like that. I love blues, bluegrass, folk music, some rap, old r & b, old country, Spoon, Cake, Guster, Ben Harper, Stevie Wonder, old Incubus, The Who, Eric Clapton, Jack Johnson, Regina Spektor, Feist, Bill Withers, The Black Keys, Dylan, Alice in Chains, CCR, Live, Coldplay, Radiohead, Beck, Badly Drawn Boy, Pink Floyd, Modest Mouse, Joni Mitchell. There's more, but you don't care.

Movies:

I really like non-mainstream movies that you've never heard of. I'm pretty sure most independent filmmakers are troubled. These are my people. I'm also into movies that are so bad that they are great. We call these 'train-wreck' movies. Examples include Air Bud, and Benchwarmers.

Television:

Television rots your brain. I know. My brain is half-rotten. Unfortunately, it is the half that made good decisions. The remaining half sucks at this. Irregardless, I don't watch much television. I get sick of trying to reposition the antenna every time I change one of my four channels.

Books:

I used to read a lot. Now, most of my reading is done while sitting down, if you catch my drift........I'm referring to the toilet. That's where I'm sitting...when I'm reading.

Heroes:

I don't have any heroes. There is too much idolatry in this world. You know what? Fuck it. I'm my own hero. I'm great. I overcame incredible odds getting here. I saved a busload of children from a fiery death. I cured AIDS, cancer, and syphillus. Every day, I volunteer at the soup kitchen, while also saving puppies from euthanasia. I donated both of my kidneys to a 98-year old man with Alzheimers.

Brasilia: II

Ok, people. I haven't done this in awhile. It's mostly because I am so incredibly lazy, but also because I canceled the internet, and did homework for some time. I realized recently that my inter...
