BioI'm just this guy, y'know? :) I'm also apparently incapable of describing myself in a coherent way, so here are a few random facts about me:
I am more into movies than you are. This is almost certainly true. :-p
I find incredibly complex things simple and incredibly simple things absurdly complex. Take washing machines for example. My washing machine has (very) approximately one million settings that all do things which are not properly defined. I need a washing machine with exactly one setting. Clean. That's it. All I want is a washing machine with one setting that makes clothes clean. Otherwise I'm going to spend hours researching what every single setting is for and waste time trying to figure out the optimal configuration for each thing I might wash. Bah! Err..right...sorry for the rant. :-p
When not on a totally bizarre rant, I find that life is a really amazing sequence of events and I live for those moments that remind us that we are really alive. I'm talking about those moments that you are so into that you just forget who you are and your brain shuts off and you just experience and feel and exist. That is when you are sucking the marrow out of life.
I apologize to Thoreau for badly abusing his line. :-p
There are too many things I really dig. I'm just as happy at the theatre as I am at a concert, and I'm just as happy at a hockey game as I am at home watching a movie. All of those things sound like an incredible time to me.
There are some geeky things that I like. Feel free to make fun of me for them. :-p Some of them are: new gadgets,, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Firefly, museums, etc. I promise I'm cool though! Really! Stop looking at me like that!
I love slam poetry. If you don't, I will be utterly baffled, but I enjoy that feeling too. :) A lot of people aren't familiar with Slam Poetry, so here's a link to a particularly awesome piece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQsrp5Mk6oo&feature=related
I'm still trying to figure out just who and what I want to be when I grow up. :)
I really dig travel. I just got back from Dublin and Amsterdam and had an incredible time.
