I thrive on making people happy, which is my main reason for being a film student. I'm a movie buff and make videos of my own. I also love writing.

I'm not a stiff or straight-edge. I just don't drink much myself. I have thrown a couple parties.

I hate talking about myself like this, but how can you not sound conceited on a dating site?

I love going on dates. Meeting new people, regardless of what intentions are. Honestly, I think it's ridiculous to expect a relationship from a complete stranger, so friends first.

Anything and everything can be funny, depending on how you look at it. I'm a huge fan of dark humor...and also a fan of awkward humor. I'm a fan of any humor, really, apart from redneck bullshit like Larry the Cable Guy. But that doesn't count as humor anyway?

I'm attending the cinema program at MCTC, and may go on to L.A. afterward, depending on where I'm at by the end of my time at MCTC. Minneapolis is becoming a more comfortable place for filmmaking. I love making videos and writing, and my major is suiting me very well so far.

I'm normally good at fixing problems, whether it's technical or emotional. I've been told I'm good with psychology. It would have been my third choice for a major, next to graphic design.

I'm good with a camera - video or still, writing, making videos, editing video. I do enjoy cooking, but I don't enjoy having to go out and buy ingredients so my microwave does most of the cooking. I'm good with computers, blah blah.

People find me quiet at first, though I'm not quiet once you get to know me. I just don't know what to say to a person I don't know. If we're face-to-face solely to get to know each other, I can easily keep a conversation going.

You'll probably notice my sense of humor and sarcasm. I tend to joke with a straight face.

If the person in question is getting to know me through my Facebook profile, they'll notice my sense of humor right off the bat.

Love, friends, the internet, movies, music, cameras.

Makin' movies, makin' songs, fightin' round the world.

Anything, really. Everything seems to go through my head. If anyone stumbled across my screenwriting journal, they would burn it. I'm a heavy thinker. It keeps me from enjoying books or even a simple short article. But it does give me a pretty easy time with writing.

I love literature, but I can never concentrate long enough to read. A word will remind me of something, and my mind will trail off into a whole other universe. I love people who read books, though.

Nothing is sexier than a girl who reads.

Online, out to a movie...Possibly a midnight showing somewhere. Maybe at a party? My classes aren't straight Monday-Friday, so Fridays have ceased to be all that special...That sounds really lame, doesn't it? Well, how about...

Friday night I'm usually hopping on my Harley, heading downtown, popping wheelies, flexing the 90 pounds of muscle that are my biceps. When I burst through the door of my favorite club, everyone cheers, everyone knows me. I buy the whole room a round of drinks and request that the DJ plays Andrew W.K., and we tear the place apart.

But my night doesn't stop there. I hop on my private jet, fly to my condo in Hawaii, and throw my weekly luau rave. Things can get pretty crazy when you mix grass skirts with ecstasy. You have no idea.

That's my typical Friday night. When I'm not having a Battle Royale, that is.

I wonder how many guys on OKC put their phallic size here.

Yes, phallic.

If you're into movies, you don't mind video games, and if you don't mind Atheists. I don't mind religious beliefs.

On another note, don't hide that you have a kid. You know who you are. "Oh, I love movies and music and going on walks and raising my two-year-old son and writing poems." You sneak it in there all quick. Not that I don't like kids. I love them. More than the average person my age.

You should message me if you find old excerpts from my screenwriting journal intriguing. Just kind of a bonus get-to-know-me if you've made it this far...

I hate people who make a big deal out of obvious mistakes. I was in Hollywood Video, and I came up to the register from the side. I guess I didn’t notice two people already standing in line. They must have been standing pretty far back.

I was casually checking out my movie when suddenly I hear, “Well, he just stepped right in front of us! We were waiting here in line, and he walked right in front of us!”

I turned around and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. You can go ahead of me.”

Of course, he said, “No, no…” either out of embarrassment of what a dick he was being or just to make me feel worse. Fuck those people.

Why don’t they put Snapple trivia under bottle caps of alcohol? They would seem way more amazing to the reader.

There are things I really enjoy that I’m not sure I could ever write, no matter how much I study it. As much as I love the vulgar humor of Kevin Smith and Judd Apatow, I feel that’s just the easy way out. I can easily write comedy like that. It takes skill for shows like Spongebob to be funny. I’m not kidding. I think the people who put Spongebob together are geniuses. The way they craft around the censorship of being a kids’ show is amazing. The age group of that show is huge…Pretty much endless. It’s never lame. It’s always brilliant. I’ve probably seen every episode, and I’m still not quite sure how to go about doing that. I guess I have to really study it more.

Another great thing I would love to write is awkward humor. Ricky Gervais…Larry David. They’re geniuses. I’ve started to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm in sequence. It’s the most hilarious stuff that will make you cringe. I’m going to really study it…Though, I know it’s all improv. Supposedly, he doesn’t even write scripts. He has a general outline and just has everyone go with the flow. I want to learn how to write intelligent, subtle humor.

This is where the original English Office and the American Office differ. Though, I consider the American Office as more of a continuation than a remake because the English version went on for only 14 episodes. The first few episodes of the American one is pretty much the same, but everything is far more exaggerated. For example, there’s a scene where the boss, David/Michael, is going to prank his secretary by bringing her into his office and pretending to fire her – a joke gone wrong. The secretary starts to cry. In the American one, Steve Carell shouts, “HAHA! YOU’VE BEEN X-PUNKED!” and it’s awkward, but it really relieves the tension because of how flamboyant his performance is. In the English version, when the secretary starts crying, Ricky Gervais looks really uncomfortable and mumbles, “That was a joke there…” and they sit there awkwardly in silence.

There is art in subtlety. Americans don’t understand that. I want to master that kind of humor.
