I'm Peter Pan sans the tights and swordplay

About Me



Softkey Left softkey Right
I often feel that movies, video games, comic books and music define me. Therefore, I am more Frank Drebin than any cocky CSI investigator, more Master Chief than master chef, more Abe Sapien than homosapien and, instead of comparing myself in the world of music, allow me to let these lyrics speak for me:
"So walk a little slower and open up your eyes
sometimes its so hard to see, the good things pass you by
There may never be a sign, no flashing neon light
tellin you to make your move or when the time is right (so)

why not (Why not), take a crazy chance
why not (Why not), do a crazy dance
if you lose the moment, you might lose a lot
so why not... why not"

My Interests

I like long walks off short piers, short skirts on long legs, and playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, because it teaches me something special about the urban lifestyle.

I'd like to meet:

Liz Phair and/or Naomi Watts...lamenting about the lack of guys who love action/horror movies and Xbox video games.
Fred Durst...in a dark alley with about six of my friends wielding spiked baseball bats.
The President of the United States.... from Independence Day, because his speech motivated me to ask a girl out at XS.
Peter Jackson, because the man's always had talent and now is getting his due.
Whoever created the Captain Jean-Luc Picard megamix, because it's probably one of the greatest songs ever.

Legendary Heroes and Villains
I have more than enough friends.

I hate HEROES

I hate that people think it's a good show.  I hate that people think it's clever and/or inventive.  I hate that people watch it.  I hate that people think HRG or Horn-Rimmed Glasses is ...

Blogs are dumb...

And so am I.  I haven't done one in a while, I don't plan on doing one again here... but just wanted to say that instead of disappearing.  Now back to nothing...

Lamenting at the end of the year

I'm sick, and down; always a wonderful way to spend the holidays.  Instead of projecting or setting up unfair expectations for 2006, I figured I'd throw down the good things, in an effort to make...

Narnia

So... Narnia... that's what I need to blog about, huh?  I was really excited for this one.  I had only seen that first trailer and it was so full of awe and spectacle, the music was fantasti...

Happy Buyer's Weekend!

So it's after Thanksgiving, I'm hanging with Stinkbat and Blah in California, and this will probably be one of those posts that, for those that stumble across this, you will want to ignore as it will ...

The Season is Upon Us

I have never been a TV-phile as much as I am right now.  I'm not sure if it's just because I've got time and a DVR, or that there's so much good television out there, but I be spending a lot of t...

Do good things happen to good people?

I'd really like to think so, and that myself as an occasional good person can benefit from such.  Yes, I am not perfect, I can be selfish and will occasionally, strike that,&n...
