About me

Occupation Asshole/Lifeguard
Location Libertyville, IL, Chicago Suburbs
Introduction I’m 17. I play guitar and am really into music, although I know little theory. I listen to mainly progressive rock and jazz, although who can starve themselves of some bullshit rap every once in a while? I am surrounded by people who are content with their entry into senior year, however I am not that worked up, and would rather have graduated this year. I want to go to college at University of Oregon. Why? I was originally interested in their good journalism school, and I then noticed they had all of my alternatie majors as well. It is a very liberal campus and most who go there love it. I feel I would fit in there more than a school everyone goes to just due to indifference (like the people who go to Indiana/Iowa just because). I am known as the asshole who always dicks around and takes few things seriously, although on the inside, I am actually a very goal-oriented person. I think I am a much better leader than most people I know, yet am just not given any power because of my reputation. I remind myself of Office Space in that way. Other than that, I can be an asshole, but only when prompted. Most of the time, if you don't make me irate, I am a good friend to those I care about.
Interests Guitar, politics, music, computers, writing, journalism, traveling, exiting the middle class.
Favorite Movies Casino Royale, 40 year old virgin, Super Troopers, the Godfather, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Rounders, Stand By Me, Mean Girls, I don't know, those are just randoms. Here is what would NOT be on that list: Anchorman. Will Ferrell has lost it. He sucks. That sucked so bad. Watched it twice, and didn't laugh once. Yes, even that part.
Favorite Music Dream Theater. That deserves its own space not disturbed by commas (I listen to John Petrucci's solo stuff, too). Other than that, jazz: Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Chick Corea, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery. Metal: (Old) Trivium, Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Soilwork. Other: Jimi Hendrix, John Mayer Trio, 311, Frank Zappa, Cake, A Perfect Circle, Matisyahu, Paul Gilbert, Phish, Rush, Umphrey's McGee. There is more I'm sure.
Favorite Books I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, The Alphabet of Manliness

Why don't you ever wear a scarf? It doesn't need to be cold outside for your neck to feel naked.

Scarves aren't manly. I have a few acquiantances who wear scarves, but I am not the type. Chances are you have more problems than one if you are having issues with a neck "feeling naked."
