I am here for Friends

About Me


I'm a big family person; they are the most important people in the world to me. And I like to have fun and laugh a lot. Yeah... laugh a LOT. Those are the main things. I like the scent of libraries, my grandparents' house, and elementary school art rooms. I have an extaordinary memory, especially when it comes to birthdays or dates in general. I like movies, music, a lil TV, just hanging out, and other stuff like that, which makes me sound pretty normal; however, if you get to know me, I doubt that you would think I am typical. It is really hard to make me mad because I am one of the most laid-back people you will ever meet. But then again, what people don't describe themselves as laid-back? Not many people are self-proclaimed uptight pricks, now are they? haha. You'll just have to take my word for it, unless you know me, in which case you know it's truuuue. If you want my AIM screen name or have any other questions, just ask.

My Interests

A little bit of everything, yet a whole lot of nothing. I have a full-time job, so in the little spare time that I have, I like to chill with music, movies, TV, friends, and family. I try to make as much time as possible for lots of random fun. I also became an uncle in August 2007, so I like to hang out with the lil man as much as possible and take about 93468098 pictures. Another nephew will be here in May 2008, and I can't wait!

I'd like to meet:

Conan O'Brien, Jon Heder, Tina Fey, Terry Bradshaw, Eminem, Will Ferrell, Ellen DeGeneres, Jim Carrey, Anna Faris, Amy Sedaris, lots of other people...I had a pretty good list of people, but freakin myspace screwed my page up. If we're talking about people I would want to meet through myspace, I like real, non-pretentious people who can make me laugh ((but hey -- who doesn't?)). Anyone who loves to go out and have a good time but can also find enjoyment in staying in with a pizza and Family Guy on DVD is a friend of mine.

Music:

EVERYTHING. Listing a thousand bands would be exhausting, so we'll just do genres: just about any type of rock; love pop/Top 40; hip hop; punk; ska; most country, but not the hardcore hillbilly shit; some rap, but not the hardcore, gangsta "Bitch, Imma cut yo ass" stuff.

Movies:

Also in no particular order: BORAT, Blades of Glory, Knocked Up, Superbad, Walk the Line, Napoleon Dynamite, Fight Club, Crash, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Frailty, Freddy Got Fingered, Kill Bill 1 & 2, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Shaun of the Dead, Zoolander, Memento, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Strangers With Candy, Remember The Titans, and many, many more.....

Television:


Animated stuff, such as The Simpsons and Family Guy; funny stuff, such as Seinfeld and Chappelle's Show; old stuff, such as Roseanne; and sometimes the occasional sports-related activity. Oh, and I really love late-night TV shows... I usually fall asleep to Conan O'Brien, hahaha. I also just discovered that I love Strangers With Candy.

Books:

Brave New World, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, On The Beach, Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, All Quiet On The Western Front, The Lovely Bones, The Odd Sea. I really wish I had more time ((and maybe somewhat more of a desire)) to read.

Heroes:

HAIL HITLER! Just kidding. But now that I have your attention.... My biggest hero is my Mom. I'm not sure if I have other huge heroes. I tend not to think of people as being larger than life or whatever. But as far as great people go, my Mom's parents are really special to me, as well as my two younger brothers, two cousins who are like sisters to me and my brothers, and a close circle of friends. And oh yeah...this guy:

I wish...

...that people in general would go to the trouble to make me feel comfortable that I go to in order to make them feel comfortable.  I'm not complaining.  I'm just sayin'.
