About Me

Greetings friends and enemies alike! Welcome to my profile. Feel free to poke around and check out the bands on my friends list. You might become a fan! Also feel free to drop me a line if you'd like to know more about me. In the meantime, here's some key points that might give you an idea of the type of person I am:* Liars, cheaters, fakes and backstabbers annoy me.* Stupidity annoys me even more* I'm a little quirky in my logic sometimes. I attribute this to my left-handedness.* I like being around people who don't mind being a little 'offbeat' or 'silly'. Witty sarcasm is also welcome and responded to in kind! :)* Mind you, there is a time and a place for the above behaviour. I can be 'socially refined as well'.* If you don't like The Simpsons, then you are truly missing out....:(* People who are 'celebrity followers' or 'celebrity obsessed' need make every effort to stay the f**k away from me.* This goes for American Idol watchers too! Music is something I'm very fond of and I value integrity in the musicians I buy from. A.I. is devoid of ANY musical integrity. End of story!* To clarify the two points above, if you do in fact engage in those activites, just don't tell me! Ignorance is bliss and it saves you the embarassment of giving me fodder to use for my argument against such 'pop culture' bullshit!* The two places I'd like to see in the world are 1. Amsterdam (can you guess why? It ain't the whores!) and 2. Anywhere in Arizona. I'd do anything short of murder to get a pair of tickets to this season's Super Bowl! :P* Ok so I gotta balance this negative slant I've portrayed of myself here..I would like to think, and I've been told, that I'm witty and charming. I do have a great sense of humour too! Doesn't that sound so boring compared to my somewhat 'bad side'? C'mon people, you love the dirt!* I'm open to anything so long as my exposure to it is done on MY terms. Trying to ram any philosophy, musical taste, worldview, political stance, general tirades and maniacal hate speech down my throat so to speak, will get you NOWHERE with me. I'm up for a good debate but don't present and force your views as the absolute truth! There's always a counterpoint!* I'm a complex individual to put it lightly. To know me is to have patience with me. It's not always about me though....and of course it shouldn't be. I am just as fascinated at hearing what other people have had to endure. That's why I'm so drawn to biographies when it comes to books or documentaries...* I'll add to this as it comes to my head......m/..m/

Heroes:

True heroes are those who aren't happy with the status quo. They are the ones who question authority but not for the sake of argument. They question things because they found a better way to do things. Above all, heroes past, present and future are individuals who don't give a fuck what others think! Heroes do what must be done even if it's at the expense of being called a 'blasphemer' or 'heretic' or any other hateful label that the mental midget majority chooses to use.
