I am intelligent, funny, and artistic.
My Self-Summary
Hmmm...self summary eh? That is a tough one. I always find it
difficult to write about myself as I not want to sound arrogant. I
am just your average guy in Memphis. I go to the local rock-n-roll
shows to see my friends' bands play and I hit up local bars to talk
to friends. I consider myself intelligent, but not overly so. I
like to think of myself as midtown's own Cliff Claven. You know,
the postman from the show Cheers. I am full of useless knowledge,
but a darn good addition to any trivia team.
What I’m doing with my life
Currently I am studying history at the University of Memphis,
though I could also have a degree in either photography, graphic
design or painting. My current occupation as a bouncer in a couple
of Memphis venues is nothing to write home about but it pays the
bills. I plan on finally graduating in the fall of 2010 and
hopefully flying off to Istanbul to get my masters in Ottoman
history. After that I plan on getting my p.h.d.
I’m really good at
I have been told that I am really good at several types of art, but
I am my own worst critic so I tend not to believe that. I also seem
to be kind of funny as most people tend to laugh around me. Though
it could be them just laughing at me...who knows.
The first things people usually notice about me
Gotta be my sideburns. Flaming red sideburns tend to get noticed
rather quickly.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I own about 1500 books and picking favorites its dang near
impossible. The genres that I am interested in though are history,
horror and pulp.
Movies tend to be closely related to the books I read, though you
can throw in comedies to the history, horror, pulp thing. Big
Trouble in Little China and Ghostbusters are my two favorite movies
of all time, sad I know.
On the music side I tend to listen to rock, ska, punk, Oi!, soul
and loads of local bands.
The six things I could never do without
1 Friends, I know everybody says that but it is quite true.
2 pen/paper (art mess)
3 intraweb
4 Books
5 music
6 A/C
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Historical events and their significance to the world today,
politics, painting and of course boobs.
On a typical Friday night I am
Sitting at one bar or another talking and debating with friends or
working.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm a super nerd on just about all fronts.
