About me: I can’t sleep at night, but I could nap all day long if I had the chance. I love mellow atmospheres, BBQ ribs, and the fountains by the Sheldon. I also love sugar free energy drinks. My mom usually calls three times in a row. Sometimes I chill in sweatpants. I worship individuality, kickass talent and selflessness. I hate mediocrity and narrow mindedness. I love beer and Lazlo's fries with honey mustard. I could spend the entire day looking up new music or studying great design and advertising. My favorite feeling is having overwhelming energy and motivation to start a new project, bust through it, and end with something awesome. Someday I really want to teach. Until then my goal is to help make great advertising seen and respected by the world. When I make enough money I will take a break from life, spending nearly half a year surfing and sleeping on the beach. I think my life ranks in the top two percent of most enjoyable, and sometimes I have panic attacks thinking about how it's about a quarter over. My favorite drink is Redbull-Espresso. My bicycle is red in the front and then fades to orange.
I've been wanting to get back into making stuff for fun. I posted some old work below.
Who I'd like to meet: All people really. I click with those who really really really love life. and people w/ stories to tell.

my myspace status is dedicated to YOU!!!! how is life in LA? I do believe your good friend, John Mayer, is no longer having an affair with your girlfriend, Cameron. go get 'er!!!
and he slowly becomes a stranger :( miss you buddy!! it has been a real long time since we've had a chat. but the good news is...is that i'm really coming out there to take a class and to see you!!!! i just haven't figured out the time yet. it might not be until september but the fact of the matter is....is that we are going to have so much fun when i visit :)
I woke up to my car being towed and smelled bacon...not real bacon.. but the memory of some blue paper bacon that looked like a card =] Thanks for helping me get my car back last year and fixing the worst day ever with the greatest scented card and Red Bull ever.
ha ha thats great!...i don't think you will ever be able to escape THE chaos with your job. Im just chilling getting the studies on lock. Gearing up for some more good memories. Spoon is sick huh. They do have a lot of great songs.
Classes are cool... weather sucks. The people in this town are weird too.. I miss Lincoln. I want to transfer... again. I don't know why I did in the first place. Absolutely hate it here! But I'm glad you've gotten as far as you have.. It really makes me happy to think of everything you've done.. when I think about it all you really keep me going!
hey buddy...it has been a while since we had a chit chat. hopefully i'll get a moment this week and call to see how your life is going and to catch up on everything :)
hello mr. co co. i dont know where exactly you are right now. I have heard you have conquered amazing red bull status! CONGRATS. BUT if you are there.. and your girl is here (possibly) I think that you should take a trip to see your girl and bring the lovely lady to PLEASE COME CELEBRATE MY B-DAY W/ THE OLD CREW--- FEB 9TH.. think about it!
rafferty and lindsey lou are visiting this weekend and i just got done having a wonderful conversation about you with rafferty...pretty much just about what a wonderful mad hatter you are and now that i think of it you would make an EXCELLENT cartoon character sir. you should work on that.
