My name is Michael, I'm a 21 year old college drop out, and I'll surprise you at least once.

I make people question things but make them stop questioning things at the same time.

I've got long hair, a tongue piercing, and a tattoo yet parents love me. I'm a living paradox.

I no longer have the goatee you see in all the pictures. I now have a presentable amount of facial hair that would be acceptable at job interviews.

If you're a straight man and you look at my profile, you confuse me. Are you secretly gay or am I just potentially cool enough to where you'd make some guy wonder if you were gay just so you can check out his profile?

Also, if you weigh more than 145lbs and/or are taller than 5'10" I'm probably not going to be interested in you. I don't get very many messages but when I do its normally from girls who don't quite fit that criteria. I don't care if you think I'm shallow, I'm just saying what I'm looking for and making it easier for everyone.

I sit here in this computer chair way too often. I'm surprised my ass hasn't conformed to the shape of the chair

If you send me a message then please say more than, "nuthin much" when I ask you whats up. I sincerely want to know. If I didn't want to know, I wouldn't take the time to ask you.

Music is my religion, tabs are my scripture, and That 1 Guy is my god.

When I say I listen to everything, I mean more than just rock. People forget there are other genres that aren't rock, rap, or country.

I play bass. I'm pretty good. Slap bass is overrated and bass solos are underrated. Although as a rule of thumb, I'm probably not going to like a band who's genre ends with the suffix -core or starts with a prefix that makes no damn sense. I won't say I hate a genre but I'll say its harder for some genres to impress me.

I'm in two bands right now, Apophis and Archer. I've got a couple of other projects but nothing that serious. I love my bands, I love my band mates, and obviously, as I've said numerous times, I love music. You should check us out on myspace; you won't regret it...probably.

I'm not cocky but slightly confidant with a hint of sarcasm.

You respect me and I'll respect you. You disrespect me and I'll be a huge wanker.

I love my friends and family. Theres very little I wouldn't do for my close friends.

Political correctness can kiss my black ass.

Typically, if you ask me for advice I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. Instead, I'll tell you what you need to hear. Hell, theres a good chance that I'll tell you what you need to hear regardless of if you asked for it.

I love my friends and family...apparently enough to lose a girlfriend over. They've always been there for me so don't ask me to not be there for them.

I work at Lowes Foods. I act differently when I'm there because I'm working and I like having a job.

I start sentences and don't finish them when I talk. I don't feel like they need to be finished sometimes or I'm just too damn lazy to care.

I love compliments and don't pay a lot of attention to insults. Hell, I'll probably just agree with the insult and move on.

I'm incredibly lazy. I call my family on the phone instead of getting up to find them. However, I know when to work hard and usually show incredible work ethic when I can motivate myself...however motivation is quite hard for me to come by.

Crab legs are good.

Writing music, playing shows, and wasting my life at Lowes Foods. If that doesn't work out for me I might go back to community college to get a degree in pharmacy.

Also, I met Patrick Stewart.

Playing bass, being a nerd and other nerd related activities, being myself, having a good time, spacing out and staring off into space, and some other shit too.

Hell if I know, I'm not other people. I guess my glasses or the bass clef tattoo on my arm.

Books: I don't read nearly as much as I should but I loved 1984.

Movies: Hot Fuzz, 300, the Conan movies with Arnold, The George Romero zombie series, Watchmen, The Spirit, Sin City, Boondock Saints, Snatch, Gladiator, the Star Wars movies, The Lord of the Rings movies, the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy, 28 Days Later (28 Weeks Later was sub par), and quite a few other movies.

Music: Damn near everything. Rock, Jazz, Techno, Metal, Blues, Funk, Fusion, and even a little Rap. I don't really enjoy country but I can put up with it. I can't really say one specific thing. However, I don't really enjoy anything with -core on the end of it.

Heres whats on the cd in my car right now, assuming you care: "Panic Attack" by Dream Theater, "Whats My Name" by DMX, "Miles of Machines" by Jeff Loomis, "Lucia Di Lammermoor" by Vitas, "In the Name of God" by Dream Theater, "The Dance of Eternity" by Dream Theater, "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins, "Revelations" by Iron Maiden, "Sentient 6" by Nevermore, and "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Iron Maiden.

Food: Crab legs, doughnuts, and steak.

My bass, music, good food, my friends, comfortable clothes, and something that'll keep me from being bored.

What would I do if a zombie invasion actually occured? Why do people ask for plastic bags inside of paper bags? How much would I need to pay someone to play the Imperial March from Star Wars when my future wife walks down the aisle? How many clowns should I have at my funeral? Should I require people to dress up as pirates at my funeral? Going by the previews of the movie, "2012" the world is supposed to collapse in on itself. How the hell does that one work?

Working, having band practice, or trying to have a social life.

I'm pretty much an open book. Ask and I'll tell.

You feel like it?
