About Me

myspace layouts for Get this layout for your myspace page.Myspace LayoutsWell, maybe you are reading this because you are bored, or maybe you are reading this because you are actually interested in what i have to say, but either way; if you are reading this then allow me to tell you a little about myself. My name is Shaun Ranft, I am 17 years old and I live in Bay View, WI. I have lived there my entire life. Eventually, way later in my life, I want to live in Boston. I've been there once and I've been dying to go back ever since. I can now say I am finished with high school. And as excited and happy I am to be done, it is just starting to hit me that I will not be with all of those 97 people in which I have seen almost every day with for the last 4 years. That is closest group of people I have ever been a part of, and next year it will be difficult to adjust to college. Every time I have a difficult time in college, I will remember my senior class, for they made this year the best year of my life, and also the best 4 years of my life. That is how close we all have become. If you are still reading, that means we should start talking if we don't already, yeah? I am loud, I am sarcastic, but I am also a really nice guy. I think my weakness is that I am too nice to people and over the years I have allowed people to take advantage of me. I plan on putting an end to that. I will try to gain your trust, and if you abuse mine, then don't even bother talking to me anymore. Also, I have taken a lot of shit from a lot of people over the years and I have never retaliated. I guess I am just not that kind of person. I am outgoing, and I try to reach out to everyone, even if I do not know someone that well. So feel free to talk to me. I also love to write. I like to express myself through poetry. I just sit down, plug in my headphones, put on some music, and just start writing. What I write usually reflects the mood I am in, so what I write is very personal. Do not steal it from me, and if you do not like it, fine. I write because I love to express myself, not to please all of you. But if you do like what I write, tell me. I would really appreciate it and it really would mean a lot to me. Also, a little bit about my friends. I have the greatest fucking friends in the world that I know would have my back in a split second and I know I would do the same for them. I love my friends. And this year, I have made several new friends, people that over this year I have become really really close to and that I want to be in my life forever. Music, what can I say about music? I fucking love it, and it is the biggest thing in my life, and I could not make it through my day without it. I am pretty much open to everything, and I will not make fun of what you listen to because I hate when people do that to me. My favorite band would have to be Avenged Sevenfold. They are different, but there is something about there music that calms me down. If you are also a fan, then we are already friends. hah I tend to bottle up my emotions for long periods of time and then explode inside, which is not good. But I cannot help it I guess. I am sensitive, I won't lie, but I am not overly sensitive. I will try to be there for you if you show that you want to be there for me. Even if you do not show that, I will still try to be there for you. Life is way too short to be worrying all of the time, and that is why I love to have fun. I will take everything in moderation, but I am not afraid to try new things. I love meeting new people and just hanging out with my closest friends. I think I learned to live to the fullest a little late, but that is okay because now I plan on doing so for the rest of my life. Lastly, I am looking for a girl to change my life. I am looking for someone to love me for me and not give me shit about what I believe in or what I do. I have had absolutely no luck with girls in my life; and I am not saying that to sound desperate or pathetic, I am saying that because it is true. I have been single for my whole life and I guess you could say I am looking for that to change. I know I can connect with a lot of people, and if you feel you would like to get to know me, feel free to just start talking. I am very outgoing, and in no time I hope you will realize that I am a really fun guy to be around. I guess that is all I have to say. If you have read this all the way down, I thank you because that means something to me on a personal level. If you liked what you have read, and want to start talking to me more, or you just want to start talking to me period, talk to me here or you can always IM me on my AIM s/n which is shaunbert1726. Thank you

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Now, People (Singers and Bands) that I would like to meet (With explanations of course)Avenged Sevenfold. My favorite band in the world, Avenged Sevenfold. They are amazing, in my opinion. And if you do not like them, I do not want to hear it because the way I see it, you are just jealous of their success. Their lyrics are deep and meaningful and the music is great, with Synyster Gates at the lead guitar.Synyster Gates. Simply put, he is an excellent guitarist that can only get better with time. He is the guitarist I look up to most. And, he's the guitarist of Avenged Sevenfold...what more could I ask for? He is a bad ass mother fucker.Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin (Adam Gontier and Ben Burnley)My 2nd and 3rd favorite bands in the world, along with two of the coolest lead singers out there. I saw these two bands live in concert on May 25th, 2007, and I will never ever forget it. To have your first concert be one in which your 2nd and 3rd favorite bands are playing is amazing. Adam and Ben are great singers/songwriters, and the bands they are a part of are fucking amazing.Linkin Park (Chester and Mike)Let me start with Chester; he has a great voice and seems like one of the coolest people you could ever meet. He is an amazing songwriter/singer/performer and I cannot wait to see LP in concert on September 1st. Now, on to Mike. This man can do it all. He sings really well, he writes music, plays guitar, keyboard, raps, and produces. What more can you ask for? Together, these two are part of Linkin Park, and they are fucking amazing.Chris Cornell, who in my opinion has the greatest singing voice in the world. I don't care if you don't like the bands he was a part of, but just do one thing for me. Listen to one of his songs and listen to him sing. He has an extremely powerful voice, and I swear it will touch you and you will be able to feel it. That is how powerful it is.Amy Lee, who is the best female singer in my opinion, and who I think is the 2nd best singer to exist. I cannot even begin to explain her voice. It is peircing, but in an amazing way. It is so powerful, yet so heavenly. It will touch you, and it will awaken you, and you will no doubt feel the power in her voice. Listen to her sing once, and you tell me how beautiful her voice is. It is unimaginable how someone can sing like that.

Music:

Well, here are my Top 8:AVENGED SEVENFOLD THREE DAYS GRACE BREAKING BENJAMIN LINKIN PARK RED CHRIS CORNELL AUDIOSLAVE S.O.A.D.I also listen to:3 Doors Down 30 Seconds to Mars 311 (+44) AFI AC/DC Aerosmith Alice Cooper Alice In Chains Alien Ant Farm Alkaline Trio All That Remains Alter Bridge Angels And Airwaves As I Lay Dying Atreyu Augustana Bad Religion Beastie Boys Beethoven Ben Kweller Billy Idol Billy Joel Billy Ray Cyrus Black Eyed Peas Black Label Society Black Sabbath Blink 182 Bloc Party Blue October Blue Man Group Bo Bice Bob Marley Boys Like Girls Brand New Breaking Benjamin Bright Eyes Buckethead Bush Cartel Chevelle Chiodos Coheed and Cambria Cream Creed Cute Is What We Aim For Crossfade Daniel Powter Dashboard Confessional Daughtry DMB Death Cab For Cutie Disturbed DMX Dragonforce Dream Theater Drist Eagles Earth, Wind, and Fire Elton John Eminem Eric Clapton Every Time I Die Faith No More Five For Fighting Flyleaf Foo Fighters Fort Minor Franz Ferdinand Freddie Mercury Freya Frou Frou Fuel Funeral For A Friend George Thorogood Good Charlotte Green Day Guns N' Roses Handsome Devil Hatebreed Hawthorne Heights Head Automatica Hellogoodbye HIM Hoobastank Hootie and the Blowfish I Am Ghost Imogen Heap Incubus Jeff Buckley Jimi Hendrix John Legend John Lennon Johnny Cash Julien-K Kansas Kid Rock Killswitch Engage Kiss Korn Lacuna Coil Lamb of God Less Than Jake Led Zeppelin Limp Bizkit Lynyrd Skynyrd Matchbox 20 Madina Lake Meatloaf Megadeth Metallica Michael Jackson Motion City Soundtrack Motely Crue Motorhead My Chemical Romance Nada Surf New Found Glory Nickelback Nine Days Nine Inch Nails Nocturnal Rage One Chance One Minute Silence Out of Eden Ozzy POD Pantera Papa Roach Paul Simon Perfect Stranger Permanent Me Phil Collins Phish Placebo Prince Puddle of Mudd Queen Queens of the Stone Age REM Radiohead Rage Against the Machine Rascal Flatts Ray Charles Red Letter Diaries Red Hot Chili Peppers Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Reel Big Fish Relient K Reverend Horton Heat Ringo Starr Rise Against Rob Thomas Rob Zombie Rock Kills Kid Rush Russell Crowe and 30 Odd Foot of Grunts Saliva Santana Saves The Day Scott Stapp Seether Senses Fail Sevendust Shadows Fall Shinedown Sick Puppies Slayer Slipknot Smashing Pumpkins Smile Empty Soul Snow Patrol Something Serious Sonic Youth Soundgarden Staind Stereophonics Stone Sour Stone Temple Pilots Story of the Year Styles of Beyond Styx Sugar Ray Sugarcult Sum 41 Switchfoot Tantric Tears for Fears Ted Nugent The Academy Is...

So let me listen, chances are, I'll like it. I love all music and I listen to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. My taste is far from limited.

Movies:

I will watch a lot of movies, the list could go on and on forever...

Television:

I really don't watch a lot of TV anymore, but there will always be:That 70's Show, House, The Simpsons, Scrubs, The O.C., The Office, CSI, CSI: Miami, Law and Order: SVU

Heroes:

Usually, I'd have people who idolize in this section, people who are famous. But, this is not what this section is for. So, that being said, the following people are my heroes:My older brother Jason. The only thing I can say about him is that he is my idol. He is the person I look up to the most in my life, whether he knows that or not. Whether he thinks so or not, he has had the biggest impact on my life.My grandpa, whom I love so much. He is hilarious, and is one of the coolest guys you;ll ever meet if you are in fact lucky enough to meet him. He is 2nd in line of the people I look up to most, and that will never change. Oh yeah, he is the best grandpa in the world. Period.Adam White. Now let me start by saying all of my friends are great in their own way and all that, but ADuB! is one of a kind. We never have a dull time when we hang out, and we are just always laughing whenever we are around each other. I could write a couple pages on how great this kid really is, but I will just say that he is FUCKING^5 SWEET!-- and he and I will only understand that.
