I snowboard, backpack, flying (my dad is an instructor), explore ghost towns, wind on my face, seeing the Milky Way, getting mail, sleeping in on a rainy day, soaking in hot springs, , travel, lounge, workout, offroad, game, massages, bowling, B&W photography, attending record shows, recording live shows, recycling, I dont Christmas wrap I do Christmas installations. Researching pop culture or urban myths in order to revel in debunking said myths. I do what I want and when I want. I am young enough to do it but old enough to do it right. I have been known to crash an occasional wedding or two....
My AIM name is badgeholder15. Hit me up. I would love to chat. ...
I enjoy many types of music from techno down to the Haunted Mansion Theme music from Disneyland. My favorite band is without a doubt Led Zeppelin. I heard Physical Graffiti when I was 9 and I have been obsessed ever since. I have been a fan of Tenacious D (Jack Black's band) for years, PJ Harvey, Tool, Oakenfold, White Stripes, Fiona Apple, SRV, Misfits, Horton Heat, Depeche Mode, Digweed, U2, Mazzy Star, Ramones, Sheryl Crow and Dave Matthews for ages. Being a child of the eighties growing up in southern California I received megadoses of 80s music. I record concerts that I attend as a hobby. I am actually a prolific taper. Many of my recordings are circulating around the world so that live U2, Tool or White Stripes bootleg sitting on your shelf might have been recorded by me. I dont think I have ever read a profile that hasn't had a band that I have recorded at some point.
I dig ALL films from John Hughes, Kevin Smith and Tim Burton. If someone mentioned the Star Wars saga I would just make the Empire argument, Office Space, The Big Lebowski, Bladerunner, LotR, Kill Bill, Shaun of the Dead, Before Sunrise, Dark Crystal, Footloose, Tron, Trainspotting, Fight Club, To Kill a Mockingbird, Slingblade,Saving Private Ryan, Harold and Maude, Gone with the Wind, Sleepy Hollow. I used to see Jack Black play at small pubs back when he was doing movies like Neverending Story II. I see any movie that he is in. I even sat through Jackyl just to see his arm get blown off. I must also mention that I have a love of campy horror films and campier kung fu films. My dad is a dead ringer for Christopher Lee so seeing a horror movie that stars him is like watching my old man in some horror flick. That is always great fun. The only movie I ever walked out of was that 13 going on 30 movie. I wanted to kill myself but figured my date wouldn't understand....
I rarely watch TV. My life is much more entertaining than anything I could see on the screen.
As a kid I went to some summer camp where I had a choice of making something out of a ribbons or learning how to speed read. I choose the later and can now blow through books faster than the disclaimer guy at the end of a commercial. Unfortunately in order to understand a few of them well I have to read them several times. I had to do Moby Dick four times. *shoots himself in head. I am proud to say it took me longer to watch Gone with the Wind than to read it. The movie was much more enjoyable. Scarlet was smoking hot and my imagination couldn't cast her like the movie did. I consider myself well read however I must admit though if I had a gun to my head and was told to write a haiku I would be pretty much dead. There was a list given to me in High School with all of these books that were "essential for college". I pretty much read them all and was kind of bitter when I actually got to college and encountered maybe four of them. I am all about the Sky Mall brochure in an airplane. :) I want to order half of the things I see, but immediately forget about them as soon as the wheels hit the ground. The last book that I read was entitled Why People Believe Weird Things and it was bloody good.
I am my own personal hero. I have saved my own life on many occasions. I would like to say my parents but check out the photo of me diving for the fire. My parents were slacking in their hero roles while they were playing with the camera.
