Media of all shapes and sizes. I'm a media-whore. I am into movies, music, video-games, literature, theatre, comcics, computers, whatever. My girlfriend is pretty cool, too.

24
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Arrested Development
Heroes
Jackass
Moral Orel
My Name is Earl
Robot Chicken
South Park

The Office
Books
Too many to count. It would be easier to tell you what I've read that's bad. DiVinci Code would be the easy one to pick on. (I hope Dan Brown doesn't have a myspace page.) List of some good authors
William Shakespeare Chuck Palahniuk Emily Bronte Tom Wolfe Alan Moore Hunter S Thompson Frank Miller
Heroes
I am my own hero, because of course, there is no one quite as cool as me. Wolverine is pretty bad ass though, as is the Punisher (but his movies kind of sucked). There's also a bunch of authors I'm into, but they are more like idols. Most of them are dead too, so that's kind of a bummer.
About me: I just finished my degree in English & Journalism at The University of Iowa. I am interested in writing, which is why I started this MySpace account. It's a place to freely advertise my work, and share things with people I know. Plus, it's a great way to keep up with some of my distant friends and on band's touring schedules, so it all works out. I could say more, but I'm going to stop here.
We have a new album out this month, but you can pre-order it NOW. If you do, it will come with free stickers, buttons, a poster, an unreleased acoustic mp3 and we will personally call you to say thanks! Go head over to our profile to check out some of the new songs and let us know what you think. We would appreciate your support! xo-tr.
