I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. If i give a hobo money and he uses it to buy booze,

About Me

Hey kids, my name is Zach. I am charming, witty, intelligent, and charismatic. I am also unmotivated and grossly apathetic concerning my future, socially awkward, oblivious, prone to making poor life choices, frustrating, embarrassing, goofy, somewhat dull, mildly nerdy, and a massive dork. I have high self-confidence, and low self-esteem, coupled with a tendency to doubt myself and overthink any situation i dwell on for more than two seconds.
My ass just graduated from Illinois College this year, and am currently enjoying everything that comes with realizing your degree is fucking worthless in the real world. It takes a bit of willpower to not break shit over the realization that, rather than pay tuition, i could have supported myself for upwards of a good five years. I'm currently stagnant in that "Well what the fuck do i do now?" phase, working at Alvin Eades Center in Jacksonville, hoping to wrack up enough field-related experience to make up for dismal grades and get my ass into grad school.
Luckily, i have beer and kittens to hold my attention in the interim.
I just might be the coolest person you'll ever meet. But you won't know until you meet me. So talk to me via msn ([email protected]) or AIM (EvilWombat35).

My Interests

movies, music (ska,punk, and indie mostly), computers, the alphabet, video games, stupid internet humor, skateboarding, not working at Wal-Mart, swimming, reading, food, two-tone accessories, pirates, explosions, shiny metallic objects, bobbin head dolls, pez paraphanelia, the strange mushrooms growing under my bed, temporary tattoos, ninjas, saving the world, just having fun, and stereotypical responses.

Probably you. But just probably. You could smell like feet or something. Who the fuck wants a friend that smells like feet?

Less Than Jake ruined music for me.

I cannot express how dissappointed i was by Less Than Jake this weekend. Easily the worst show i've ever been to, and the only fully bad show i've ever seen. Happened to be one of the most expensive...
