About Me

I am still discovering myself daily. Read my blog to find out my most recent thoughts on myself, my environment and life in general.NOTE TO MUSICIANS/BANDS WHO WANT AN ADD --- I only add those that I actually like! Feel free to request, but if I don't like your music you'll get a big fat denied! Same goes for other people wanting an add. I am not a friend whore... I don't care if I have a million friends or just 5. I want people I actually find interesting. If your entire life sounds like a character Keanu Reeves may play, or you live by the code of Bruno from Animal House... I probably won't find you interesting in the least. So don't bother. Yes, I'm a myspace snob! Deal with it.

My Interests

Music, architecture, art, history, and just about any topic that requires me to think. AND HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to meet:

Friends, fellow students, music business contacts, legal contacts, and interesting people.

Music:

Progressive Rock, Metal, and a little of just about everything. My favorite group is GHOST CIRCUS! Other honorable mentions include Depeche Mode, Rush, Spock's Beard, Poe, Opeth, Porcupine Tree (well just about everything Steven Wilson does), Peter Gabriel, Love & Rockets and lots and lots more. But unlike most douchbags around here I'm not going to list every band I've ever heard of or listened to. If you want to know just look through my friend's list. I've added most of the bands I like or will probably add them soon.

Movies:

Love em. Lots of em. Click here for my/our dvd collection http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Chris%20and% 20Melinda

Television:

I love Sopranos, Monk, Dead Like Me and X-Files. Just about any well made series is enjoyable for me, though I'm not into stupid sitcom humor on a regular basis and I think most of the current drama series are ridiculous. I'd rather be watching hockey!

Books:

George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire BEST SERIES EVER! I like good fantasy and scifi. And I enjoy thrillers, mysteries and good historical works both fiction and non-fiction. Please feel free to suggest anything you enjoy and I may get around to it when I'm finished with school.

Heroes:

Chris Brown... I don't know that he's really my hero so much as he is my savior, love, and friend. He has his flaws, but I've never met anyone I respect more.

My Blog

I am waiting for you, Vizzini

"You said if we ever get separated to go back to the begining... so here I am. Back where it all started." I often feel that there are two of me.  One who is bright, fun, caring, cheerful... and ...

SEE! All those research grants really pay off!

Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deput...

Whiney self pity nonsense

So it occurs to me that I haven't bloged in a while.  I'm sure some of you are like: SO WHAT'S THE DEAL!  Honestly, I haven't really talked to any of my close friends in a while.  &nbs...

Inspiration you foul temptress

So we’re coming down to the final weeks of school and I’m totally uninspired about my studying.  The material seems to be so simple and yet they make you read 250 pages a week that in...

 Okay okay okay... get your heads out of the gutter!  I received two big planks of a very nice swamp ash in the post today.  Over the course of this summer, these two lovely and unassu...

Dragons

No... not those kind of dragons!  Well, I like those kinds too, and I'm anxious to read the new George Martin book if he ever finishes it because I seriously think A Dance With Dragons will be fr...

Remember today... for today is a good day!

Anything that starts out quoting LOTR has to be good right!  ;) The last few days have finally felt like a change is coming.  Perhaps it is that I have gotten good sleep for nearly a week st...

Sing my emotions

I love when I find the perfect song for what I'm feeling.  There is something so comforting in knowing that someone somewhere has felt exactly what I'm feeling, and felt strongly enough about it ...
