About Me

When I was younger I used to have big dreams of what I was going to be. Eventually reality sets in and you end up settling on just about everything- this is probably why it took me almost a decade to graduate college. I was set to go to law school but the whole thing pretty much fizzled out somewhere in the application process. I then finally got into grad school but quickly dropped out after two semesters. I was thinking of starting my own company but I can't really think of anything I would want to commit to for that long. I don't know- this whole thing is just exhausting and only makes me want to take a nap.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

an ambitious and motivated teenage Christopher Columbus. i would quickly disrobe and neuter the young lad and repeatedly sail the outskirts of the greater European area displaying my new "trophy" on the mightiest of all timber masts in hopes of meeting other like-minded future maritime youths. i would call my wonderful vessel the "Potential New World Explorer's Museum".

Music:

Pig Destroyer, Bad Brains, Nothington, the Chariot, Boston, Over It, Mylo, His Hero is Gone, Word Salad, King Diamond, Hugh Mundell, pretty much anything that doesn't involve a bunch of dudes that all have the same haircut doing those awful god-cop/bad-cop vocals and have names like "My Bleeding Heart is Burning Every Other Autumn"...

Movies:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the Corporation, Caddyshack, Return of the Living Dead, Brain Candy, Better off Dead, Clockwork Orange, Evil, Big Wednesday, Smartest Guys in the Room

Television:

Discovery Channel

Books:

"The Impossibility of God", "Lies My Teacher told Me", "People's History of the United States", "History of the Russian Revolution", "People's History of the United States"

Heroes:

Bob Villa, Bob Crane, "What about Bob?", my uncle Bob, Bobba Fett, Bob Ludlum, Bob Bulgroin
