About Me

to sum up my life right now i am caught in the pergatory between college life and professional life. it's scary, i can already see 30 coming and i still have no idea what or who i want to be.
besides not knowing what to do with my life i find myself pondering our situation in the world lately. (by lately i mean the last 6 years) these are some quotes that i feel relect our current times.
All those opposed to the patriot act raise your right hand
Raise your hand high
Now raise the other one
Hands behind your back
you're under arrest for treason
There is nothing more conformist than displays of individuality.
-- David Brooks
I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.
-- Adlai E. Stevenson Jr., Speech during 1952 Presidential Campaign
We need a president who's fluent in at least one language.
-- Buck Henry
doing stuff is overrated. think about it, Hitler did a lot of stuff and don't we all just wish he stayed home and got high?
--the tao of steve.
It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.
-- George Burns
if we become our enemies, how can we defeat them without defeating ourselves?
--Chris Kelley (some guy writing to the NY Times)

My Interests

politics, photography, music, computers, video games, my ninja training, the impending zombie apocalypse...you know typical guy stuff.

everybody needs at least one animated gif on their site.

...and at least one 'funny' pic

...and the introspective art piece.

I'd like to meet:

i guess pretty much anybody, well except nazis...that's right, i'm prejudiced against nazis. in fact, i'll even go on record as being prejudiced against nazis. i cant actually say i've never met a nazi to base my judgement on, but i guess that's what prejudice means.

Music:

i like music that...well, makes me feel.

it could be classical music that inspires me to conquer europe (or at least france), it could be 80's new wave which reminds me of being a kid (and crappy haircuts), it could be metal that makes me beat my chest and cry "i am man, here me roar", or it could be r&b which makes we want to make sweet love to the ladies.

(who am i kidding, everything makes me want to make sweet love to the ladies)

Movies:

i like good movies. so what makes a good movie...i'm not exactly sure.

although anything w/ rachael mcadams, that chick from the princess diaries, keira knightley, or brad pitt, i'll watch.

Television:

i like most shows on hbo or showtime. beyond that i watch lost (i hate the fact that i love that show), battlestar galactica, arrested development, scrubs, the office, and mythbusters.

Books:

my current favorite is Threat Level: Midnight
by Michael Scott

actaully, i'm trying to read some of dan brown's other stuff (the guy who wrote the davinci code) and some political books about the bush administration but really they're just lying on my night stand.

Heroes:

DUBYA!!!...because w/o him God would hate america
