Have I mentioned how much I dislike things like this?
I mean come on. Can you really get to know me in a few short sentences?
Okay, yes, you can tell if I'm a complete and total moron if I can’t type in complete sentences, use grammar, or type in internet lingo. But really, I’ve met plenty of nice people who do all of the above, so it’s not a great judge. Hell, I use it sometimes, and sometimes I’m careful.
I mean seriously! Ok, I like to bike and read and...Oh wait, that’s all in my interests. riiiight
Who am I? I'm that kid sitting next to you. I'm no one, and everyone. I'm not actually real some of the time. I am a walking paradox. I am human. I am jack’s colon. I have traits, and a personality, but can I really tell you who I am in words? Words beyond “teenage”, “fun-loving”, “love chilling and joking around”, and the like? Everyone can say those things. And hell, they aren’t even always true!
"I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.." Ok, so i dont really like Pina Coladas, but I do love getting caught in the rain. That and wandering aimlessly and/or swimming in it. But how much does that tell you? I mean, even music, the story and feeling of life, doesnt quite capture who we are.
Yeah, ill tell you who I am. I’m confused and confident. Happy and pessimistic. A singer, dancer, actor, athlete, scholar, and one of the most incredibly lazy people you’ll ever meet while simultaneously loving things like hiking, climbing trees, and playing sports. I am 6 feet tall, blue eyed, and I have longish brown/blonde hair. Does that help?
So, we can conclude that this blurb space is useless for finding out who exactly I am.
Wanna know?
Just say "hi".

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interesting. Personalityless need not apply

Music:

see above

Movies:


I'll save my speech on the quality of movies relative to what is promised versus what is deliverd. Simply put, movies and me click. I like quite a few.
Too many to even begin to list here. Let it rest at the fact that I love movies, and I will see just about any movie once.

Television:

Family guy, Simpsons, Futurama, Firefly, Justice League, Teen Titans, Chapelle's Show, Smallville
Anime all listed in the far above

Books:

(can you tell I'm lazy?) see aboveOh, and Robert Heinlein, for his sheer brilliance, deserves special mention

Heroes:

Well, I'll be the first to admit to being a bit of a superhero dork. Of course I idolize all of the superheroes (especially the coolest, Green Lantern), but that sort of goes without saying.Benedict Arnold, Malcom X, Niccolo Machiavelli, Frederick II of Prussia, Theodore Roosevelt, The Unknown Solider
Powerful Leaders who did what was necessary, Men who sacraficed themselves for the lives of others, and many a misunderstood "bad guy"

Working Class Hero

There is nothing like a job to make you despise things. I've started to hate rich people. After the fourth steak and chicken dinner you throw out almost entirely uneaten, you want to hit them. Then co...
