Nominalist-hybrid in the making! To keep tabs on my daily/weekly/monthly shenannagins check out my REAL blog at: The Darr Hole.
Music
M.S.I. - Bitches I like music that SOUNDS good to my ears, no matter who they end up being, so my taste can vary greatly. I do my best to not idolize/admire/appreciate anyone too much--especially musicians--because it eventually leads to heartbreak. No one can hold my attention throughout their career, but here are some honorable mentions: mindless self indulgence, the birthday massacre, primus, CSS, beck, dethklok, MSTRKRFT, frank zappa, les claypool, stone temple pilots, various "nerdcore", ohGr, panacea, RATM, nirvana, silverchair: freak show, incubus (PRE-morning view shit and beyond), kidney thieves, guano apes, in flames: come clarity, plump djs, lords of acid, prodigy, freestylers, first 2 deftones cds, cake, SOAD (1st 3), 1st slipknot CD, aphex twin, krafty kuts, daft punk, 1st 2 foo fighters, zebrahead, red hot chili peppers, snake river conspiracy, tool: aenima, 1st 2 Korn cds, smashing pumpkins, NIN, Tactical Sekt, puya, 1st jimmi's chicken shack cd, queens of the stone age, the toadies, bloodhound gang, wolfmother, the cars, boston, marilyn manson (mostly antichrist superstar), lots o' industrial, beat-boxers own you all.
For the most part I believe the greatest time in music's history would be between 1989-2000 (I know that'll turn some of you off, but I'm a 90's kid, dammit!), though I have a lot of love for the 80's as well.
PRIMUS - Too Many Puppies<a
Movies
I don't have a favorite, but there's a few honorable mentions:
no country for old men, office space, idiocracy, the blob (1988), smokin' aces, city of god, delicatessen, STARDUST, versus, STARSHIP TROOPERS, 12 monkeys, the frighteners, tremors, the princess bride, the machinist, american psycho, city of the lost children, district b13, ALIENS, EQUILIBRIUM, CHILDREN OF MEN, memento, brazil, ghost busters, fight club, donnie darko, boondock saints, SERENITY, grandma's boy, happy gilmore, high fidelity, crank, saving private ryan, jarhead, the pianist, spun, super troopers, serenity, slither, fido, the thing (remake), pan's labirynth, predator, lotr trilogy, tropic thunder, the dark knight, dawn of the dead (remake), beetlejuice, shaun of the dead, hot fuzz, super troopers, black sheep (both horror and comedy versions), and the NC-17 version of ROBOCOP.
Thank you, Maria!
Television
I'm not a big fan of most broadcast television, but I "own" an incredible amount of tv shows on "dvd": house m.d., breaking bad, reaper, chuck, lost, heroes, DEXTER!, the trailer park boys, mr. show, SPACED, stella, futurama, family guy, american dad, scrubs, the office, drawn together, aeon flux, daria, ATHF, 3rd rock from the sun, kids in the hall, UCB, band of brothers, FIREFLY, simpsons (Pre-season 10), over there, BSG, news radio, invader zim, metalocalypse, sealab 2021, the venture brothers, weeds, supernatural, the history channel, anything factual, etc...
Books
Honestly I dont remember having the ability to read...wait a second..."Snow Crash"? maybe "Ender's Game"? Perhaps "Blood Crazy"? Anything by Phillip K. Dick? Does the internet count as reading?
Heroes
Bill Hicks? The Trailer Park Boys? Chris Cunningham? Nathan Fillion? James Randi? Richard Dawkins? Penn & Teller? Whistle-blowers? Anyone who has changeable IDEAS rather than personal and undeniable BELIEFS? I don't really consider anyone or anything in this day and age my "hero"...
..Thank you to Dino-Jesus for pointing out the faulty information. Every time he says "monkey" just pretend he's saying "Great Ape".
Let's get this straight right off-the-bat: I ain't your typical douche-baggy guy. I favor modesty and open-mindedness over being pretentious anyday, yet almost everyone I meet feels quite the opposite (whether they realize it or not...). I also quite dislike labels of almost any kind--I feel they strip me (and anyone) of whatever individuality I (or they) may or may not possess. I am usually easy-going, but on occasion I can get fairly hyper or, dare I say, passionate. I am somewhat "unfocused" at times, but I try to use my life in as many ways as possible, much like a "jack-of-all-trades". I try to make the most fun out of any situation--but there ARE limits. I attempt to stay in shape, and for the most part I do--causing me to lose respect for those who don't (I eat no veggies and nothing but junk food and am lazy as hell--you can do it!). I am a self-proclaimed critic of most things media related (movies especially) as well as a few other things. I LOVE cats, le parkour (free-running), orange koolaid, hackey-sack, hanging out with friends, people watching, being outside as well as in--depending on the circumstances, GOOD music, GOOD movies (and some bad ones, I admit), various PC-related activities (art, gaming, work, etc--gimme a computer and the internet and I can survive forever!), LEARNING, science, skepticism, anti-theistic philosophies, good conversations, having fun/being amused, PERSONAL ESCAPISM, and specific forms of "art" (my imagination can get quite creepy when it comes down to my artistic side). I attended the Art Institute of Minneapolis for 3+ years before realizing what a waste of time, energy, and money it was. I am fairly opinionated, but will never be anything close to an activist for anything--forcing your beliefs on others is wrong! If you want to know what I dislike we can sit down and have a multi-year long talk. All in all it's fairly difficult to hate me--unless I want you to. *WARNING* I sometimes have trouble comprehending my own existance, relying far too much on my irrational co-dependance towards the presence and behaviours of others. I sometimes scare myself without trying. I am a neverending outcast from nearly everything. I tend to get a bit neurotic. I generally stray from thinking about reality for the most part, its just too fucking depressing. Unless it pertains to kitties. Oh yeah, did I mention that I was batshit insane?
Who I'd like to meet:
Someone who's claims of uniqueness end up being accurate.

I just read your 'About Me' for the first time. YOU neurotic? Naaaaaaah.....
Have you seen 'Chuck' lately? Its so good. Remember that autistic boy I was telling you about who loves Rush? Today I asked him if he could sing 'Spirit of the Radio', and he did it PERFECTLY. He even sang the riffs in the song and did all the instrumental sound effects. He's going to be a karaoke master when he grows up....
Who doesn't love toto, of course! I'll be opening on Thursday, so make sure you come in and see me....unless unwanted company is there, then RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
dude.... i know way more about cables and computers and tv's and SHIT than i would EVER want or need to... this would be a perfect job for you if you wouldn't mind getting screamed at by morons who just didn't turn it to fucking channel 3....argh.
I know, I AM a liar. But I will BE THERE TOMORROW, PROMISE. Eric texted me and asked me if I was going to the work party today, I was all, "Heeeell no!" Gross. That vid was off the hook, especially that shirt the guitarist was wearing...I gotta get you one of those.
Awwww, my poor baby! Chin up, I'll be there Friday morning...hopefully when you come in the store miss stupid annoying CUNT JUICE FOUR EYES FACE wont' be hanging out there for 20 minutues annoying the SHIT out of me. I hope she and miss other cunt juice face don't CHOKE on each others' cunt juice while they are sucking each other's vaginas in the office. Then I can give you your food. YOU'RE TOO SKINNY!

Muppets and Neil Patrick Harris.
It's like he knows I'm out there, and made the perfect video for me. Fuck the kids, its all for ME. Where's my tiara.

I really feel like Michael Bay made this. Not that he's hard to duplicate.
