| Introduction | Epic, poetic, tragic, all over the place, sarcastic, humbly egotistical, political, bullheaded, impatient, strong-willed, insane, extroverted introvert. I take everything in, whether you know it or not. If my heart should fancy it, on rare occasions I burst into song spontaneously, and dance on trash cans and park benches. Or I babble tirelessly for hours on end in a terrible english/indian/surfer/east coast hip hop accent. Much to the annoyance and embarrassment of friends and confused onlookers. You could say I'm a writer or a poet, but that would imply that I engage in the act of writing on a regular basis. Not true. I'm just an odd, semi-artistic, strange, occasionally creative geek. I'm one of the most humble people you'll ever meet, but if you don't know me, most likely you'll think I'm a cocky, arrogant asshole. Oh well, it's your loss, you're probably not worthy of breathing my air anyways... I'd say roughly 98-103.7% of what I say is arrant nonsense... About 90% of what I say should never have been uttered or even thought of by anyone, and I'm a terrible person for polluting the universe with such drivel. |
| Interests | Music, writing, organic hot wings, free range beef jerky, beer, corny pseudo-intellectualism, S&M, personal growth, cheese, seven for all mankind, diesel, paper denim, rock and republic, antik denim, energie, true religion, etc. etc., confusing the hell out of people, painting my nails black and looking gothic/weezerish/douchey yet still managing to talk like a 45 year old black dude, prompting everyone to ask me, "Are you from the South?" Obviously knowing nothing about me... Coffee, coffee, coffee. I'm turning into a Seattle-ite again... |
