    Things I like: music. A lot. Nothing beats the rock and roll. I play guitar, I used to play bass, and sometimes I play Chad's drums when he's not around (sssshhhh... our secret). Movies are another good one. A lot of the things I say are movie quotes, except most people don't seem to pick up on this, as they're pretty obscure. I have a knack for remembering the most trivial stuff. I like to read about conspiracy theories and space aliens and stuff. It makes me feel paranoid and nervous, but in a good way. I also like to read about crazy theoretical physics like string theory and the nature of time and what's on the other side of a black hole, things like that. I like comic books, specifically Batman, X-Men, Watchmen, Preacher, the Invisibles, and the Authority. I used to draw pretty much constantly, but I'm out of practice. I like to write, but I don't do it as much as I should. I'm shy around new people sometimes, but if you get to know me, I will say the most outlandish and random things and you will somehow find me funny and love me forever. Other times, I will launch into tirades concerning elaborate plots for taking over my town, my constant battles with zombies, or my desire to drown the innocent in their own blood, regardless of who may be present. The best comeback is one that doesn't make sense. If I sound like your cup of tea and you are a sensitive, caring, non-hideous young person (ladies are especially welcome, tee hee), by all means add me and be loved.

About me:

I live in a semi-decent-sized town in Iowa. I spend a fair amount of time online and even more sleeping. I play guitar for A Well Dressed Man, a band fans of System of a Down, Every Time I Die, Refused, Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan and Mr. Bungle should check out. I am a misanthrope, but can find glimmers of hope for humanity while in the company of a select few people. Could you be one of those people? Let's find out, shall we? All righty then! A whole lot of explosions. 25
