Enjoy the Silence

About Me

I'm all kinds of mixed up...I have varying opinions on basically everything...in other words I often get stuck playing Devil's Advocate with myself.I like individual songs rather than following a certain band...I prefer watching a movie I've seen 1,000,000 times rather than network TV.Speaking of music, I love to dance...and not the Frat Boy style 'rub crotch on pretty girl' style of dance. I can move pretty good.I love wildlife, peace, the ocean and conservation...but I also think Michael Moore is a windbag with a buttload of money.I like picture books, comics, video games...I'm your basic geek...but I also have a sporty side. Throwing a football around in Sheep's Meadow is a load of fun.I believe in free speech, having pets, that people shouldn't have to wear clothing at the beach, and that Night Court was a pretty good show.

My Interests

Movies, the ocean, photography, my wonderful new camera, wildlife, city-life, eating great food, legos, the outdoors, rock climbing, skinny dipping, Gunnison Beach, girls that are pretty, trying to write my screenplay, jumping around at a club to loud music, wandering aimlessly, not doing laundry.

I'd like to meet:

Eehh...surprise me. I get along with basically everybody...unless you hate animals, are rude to waiters and tip poorly, litter (including throwing cigarette butts on the ground), deface public property and deal in illegal drugs, we'll be great.People who make their friends and lovers a priority, above career or the next rerun of Sex and the City.People with the mental and physical stability to return e-mails.Girls who wear Doc Martin Mary Janes.Dungeons and Dragons players.***Girls Who Can Smoke it on the Dance Floor***

Music:

I tend to like individual songs rather than artists...my favorite genre is the 80's, but I'll listen to anything if it catches my ear. However, there are definitely some groups that stand out: Hall & Oates, Van Halen, The Cure, U2, Billy Idol, Fleetwood Mac, The Police, De La Soul, Simon & Garfunkel, Tupac Shakur, 80's era Jacksons and R.E.M.

Movies:

Saturday Night Fever, Star Wars series, Lord of the Rings series, Mary Poppins, Independence Day, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, The Matrix, Big, Wargames, Real Genius, Kelly's Heros, X-Men 2, Staying Alive, Rocky, Rocky II, Die Hard, Castaway (not the Tom Hanks version...look it up!), random foreign films, films with a sense of reality, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Major League, Smokey and the Bandit, Do The Right Thing, Boyz in the Hood, The Brady Bunch Movie, The Three Amigos, Money Pit, A Christmas Story, The Black Hole, The Dark Crystal, Enter the Dragon, Swimming Pool, Red Dawn

Television:

Night Court, Dukes of Hazzard, Miami Vice, Riptide, Family Ties, Growing Pains, The Gummy Bears, Saved By the Bell, Cheers, Seinfeld, South Park, Beavis and Butthead, The Real World (just the first season...a truly groundbreaking show), You Can't Do That on Television

Books:

The Heir to the Empire Trilogy, The Mole People, The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night, any Choose Your Own Adventure books, Left Behind, Calvin and Hobbes anthologies, The Boondocks anthology, For Better or For Worse...I loves me some picture books.

Heroes:

I don't really have any REAL heros...but in fantasy, Luke Skywalker, Derek Wildstar, Rick Hunter...quiet, emotional guys who draw from their heart to rise above their fears to kick some bad guy's ass.

My Blog

Hmm...THIS Sucks...

Well, I can say that this has been one of the most difficult months I've ever lived through in my relatively short (but growing longer) time on Earth. I've never had to handle so many disasterous even...

A New Blog? How? WHY?

Yep...a new Blog...who would have imagined? Life is fine, yet just as busy as everyone else. When do people say they're not busy? New annoyances: IPod Users. Who turn theirs up so loud that everyone o...

Out-Fart the Gorilla

There was a game on the MySpace front page called "Out-Fart the Gorilla". If you do so, you can get a free ring-tone for your cellular phone. You'll probably sit in the subway and play it loudly, rep...

Quick Note

My friendship doesn't come easy. It takes effort, more effort than going to a loud bar with me and drinking too much within a range of three stools. I'm proud of that. I'm prouder that once inside the...
