[ THE BIO ]


I was born on October 22nd, 1981 to two loving parents in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My family isn't any stranger, any more annoying, or any more dysfunctional than any other family out there, and I guess I like it that way.

I was raised Catholic, went to a Catholic school until I was introduced to the culture shock of a public school in 1996. I now consider myself an agnostic, even though I believe a higher power created us, and that there is an afterlife. Don't ask me any further about this because I have no answers.

Most people have the majority of their personality traits set by the time they are 7 or 8 years old. I'm no different. I'm still deathly quiet, incredibly bullheaded and stubborn as I've ever been. I try to be fair, to see both sides of everything, even when I disagree with an opposing viewpoint. I don't like to make decisions. I try to stay neutral whenever possible.

In high school I formed the identity that some of you know now, or that some of you may come to know. I played sports at first, but you couldn't refer to me as "sporty." In fact, when I hear that word now, I want to puke. I wasn't a jock either because I wasn't fond of hanging around with idiots. I met some people who were really into alternative music, and that was the path I went down for the rest of my high school years. My musical tastes tell a lot about me, but my first love was good, hard rock n roll. Now it ranges anywhere from Metallica to the Get Up Kids to the Smashing Pumpkins to Nappy Roots to Elton John and all the way back around again. I like to keep an open mind when it comes to music. Unless it's Megadeth, rap-metal, death metal, or teen pop.

I go to college, and a lot of times I question why I'm there. I major in English-writing, biding my time until I can break all the rules and write the Great American Novel my way. It'll never happen. I spend my time here at UW-Whitewater sitting at this curse of a computer, communicating through the Internet and playing video games. I don't have much of a social life, both by choice and by default. It doesn't matter, because as long as I have my beer and my cigarettes, I'll be content.

If you can't tell by my tone, I'm lonely, bummed, and jaded. I'm a loner through and through, and there are days that I like it that way. Other days I lie awake in bed wishing I had someone to hold close to my side. If this doesn't appeal to you, then go away; you don't appeal to me either. If this hasn't phased you, read on.

I understand this isn't a personal ad, and I realize those things are good for shit, but I'll tell you what I'm looking for. I like women that are in to rock music, obviously. Intelligence is a plus, but only if you don't flaunt it. Honesty and faithfulness are absolutely necessary. I don't lie, and neither should you, even if it means hurting the person you love the most. I have a fucked sense of humor. If you can't deal with that, keep searching. I annoy, insult, and mock people at every chance I get, and this probably includes you. Be able to laugh at yourself. Sometimes it's the only defense against a cruel world. To give you a picture of what kind of boyfriend I am: I'm not clingy and I like my space. I like my alone time. I'm not spending every waking second thinking about you, so get over it now. I'm caring, trusting, and a good listener...but at the same time I don't give a shit and I don't want to talk to you sometimes. I'm a walking contradiction. I don't care about looks that much. But if I'm not attracted, that's it. Inner beauty only does so much. I don't care what these TV Psychiatrists like Dr Phil say. Fuck Dr. Phil. Most of all, you have to be real. Not some smug little bitch with too much make up and a cell phone attached to your ear. Also, if you're too immersed in your culture, like say, a punk rocker, or a goth chick.. I hate that as much as the Abercrombie wearing fake plastic bottle blondes. I think that's all I can say for now.
