some stuff about me

i really don't have much to say about myself. i'm not that interesting. i'm 20, and i turn 21 on november 22nd. i can't wait to no longer have to rely on someone else to purchase alcohol for me. we'll see if i survive the 21 shots on 21 ritual.

that's me over there. it's an old picture. there are more old pictures of me here. i have a bit more hair now. actually, i look like a fucking hippie.

speaking of being a fucking hippie, i love tossing the disc, which makes me seem like even more of a hippie. all i need to do is smoke weed constantly, and i'm there.

i like running. actually, i love it. i used to run constantly, but i've backed off quite a bit in the last year. nothing can clear your head like an easy 5 or 10.

my other main activity is pool. i don't play as much as i used to, but i still get on a table whenever i can. you name the game, i'll play it. 8 ball, 9 ball, straight pool to name a few. hell - i even play snooker and cushion.

can't think of anything else to say, so that's that.

here are a few things that i think:

death is not something to be feared. it should be challenged.

alcohol is one of man's greatest creations, if not the greatest. drink it alone and listen to pink floyd's "the wall" and you are ready to wallow in the misery that you are. drink it with people and you are ready to have fun.

it should be your own choice to die when you want to. if you're miserable and don't wanna trudge through a pointless existence any longer, you should be able to end that existence.

there is no god, there is no devil. there is no heaven, there is no hell. it was all created by humanity so people could sleep better at night. the truth is that there is no higher power, and mankind can't deal with the fact that we are in control of ourselves.

the clerks cartoon is funny as all hell.

everyone needs to read a good book sometime. by that i mean that everyone needs to read the count of monte cristo by alexandre dumas. it is hands down the best story of the revenge of someone who has been wronged.

speaking of books, the bible isn't that bad either. it does raise some questions. mostly, i find myself wondering why adam gave up a rib just to get a thorn in his side.

skydiving is the biggest rush ever. nothing compares to falling toward the earth at 120 mph from 2.5 miles off the ground.

humanity is a disease, comparable to cancer. we spread and destroy all that is before us. the only way to cure this disease is to wipe it out.

is it just me, or are terrorists the biggest cowards on earth?

team enron was damn fun to watch, even though i only got to see one game. go probert!
