Listening to, making, and mixing music (I'm learning guitar, I am a singer/songwriter in a band with my best friend Travis Beauchamp called The Working Stiffs, and I remix songs I like), working out, writing, health and fitness, hiking/trail running, professional wrestling, modeling, I'm just now starting to get into photography (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajkirsch), playing video games, watching movies, comedy, impressions/voices, karaoke at the bars, laying in the sun, among other things. But right now, I'm preparing to CouchSurf and Rideshare my way across the country! I can't f'n wait!
Ok, let's get something straight: I HATE when people put too many damn videos on their profile and it takes for days to load their damn page. But these two videos are very important to me. They represent what I think professional wrestling SHOULD be (this is an opinon, people, so you don't like it, fine). The videos below are two of the greatest professional W-R-E-S-T-L-I-N-G matches I have ever seen. I want to work like these guys. Someone give them a half hour!
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit

Music
I love writing my own songs, but when it comes to listening to other music, my favorite bands are, in no particular order: Aerosmith, Metallica, Kid Rock, AC/DC, Everlast, Nickelback, Everclear, and Theory of a Deadman. But hey, if it sounds good to me – doesn't matter if it's Hanson or Marilyn Manson – if I like it, I'll listen to it. My favorite song of all time is now a tie: Metallica - Turn the Page (I can't begin to express how much this songs mean to me), and Aerosmith - Love in an Elevator (this song is everything rock and roll should be). Other undisputed favorites: Motorhead - Line in the Sand (the single greatest entrance theme ever, and nothing gets me as pumped up as this song), Nickelback - Figured You Out (raw, visceral, unapologetic, in-your-face, up-your-ass aggression), Michael Jackson - Earth Song (arguably the most epic and dramatic song I've ever heard), Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Blue on Black (the acoustic version; this song is so chill, it melts right into you). Current favorite(s): Rascal Flatts - Holdin' On
Movies
Too many to name, and some I don't think I should (example: Weekend at Bernie's and Weekend at Bernie's 2; two unjustly underrated classics). I used to work at a video store, so I got a shit load of movies, a little bit of everything. Current favorite: The Dark Knight (seen it in theaters 4 times...so far. Make that 5 now).
Television
Scrubs, stand-up comedy, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Family Guy, professional wrestling (even though it's pretty much garbage these days), The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (MXC), football (GO NINERS!), baseball (GO GIANTS!), Family Matters, and I did NOT watch the O.C. because it was a show I did NOT watch...just so we got that clear...
Books
Books? PSH! I graduated college - I don't need to read anymore! But I do enjoy Men's Health and Rolling Stone magazine.
Heroes
I don't have a lot of "heroes," per se. My grandfather on my Dad's side and my Dad are heroes. People I have an infinte amount of admiration and respect for are Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Paul Heyman, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, and Christopher McCandless, among others. Oh yeah, and Lester Burnham...look him up.
About me: I am way too lazy to write some long-ass personal decree, so if the survey below or the rest of my profile doesn't satisfy your curiosity, check me out on Facebook, or IM me on AIM and ask me whatever you wanna know. Send me a message and I'll give you my screen name.
And one more thing: I don't add anyone unless I actually know them (except the bands of which I am a fan). I am really good with faces, and REALLY bad with names (especially if you're one of those damn people whose name that shows up isn't your ACTUAL name), so if I've met you somewhere - hell, even if I've known you all my life – I may not recognize you, and I apologize in advance for that. So, if I don't add you as a friend, don't take it personally...unless I hate you. But you'd know if I hated you or not.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone and everyone. You never know what you might be able to learn from someone.
