First off, I live in Butler, PA which is about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh(It kinda bugs me that Brickfish doesn't give you a clue where people live so there you go and here is where I am). I have a great deal of interest in various forms of art, and I love to express my creativity through my writing and painting. Passion and drive are important, and I am a very goal oriented and driven individual. I know what I want out of life and nothing will stand in my way in achieving those goals. First and foremost, friends of mine are witty folk and are not easily offended by off the wall, dark humor(and mine can be very dark). My biggest pet peeve whenever I meet someone, is that they have nothing to say. I really enjoy having a good conversation, but there definitely needs to be some substance to it. I also prefer to associate with people who have a destination in mind, and aren't just floating around in purgatory. Whether they are personal or career, I like people that are focused, determined, and know what they want out of life. As for my destination...I am currently working my way through nursing school so I can still do my art, but not feel as if I have totally sold my soul in order to pay the bills.

Music
I hate paying for a whole CD if there are only one or two songs on it that I like, so I usually just illegally download more songs into my eclectic collection. I often tell people that my taste vary so much, that my I can listen to anything from Beethhoven to Marilyn Manson, and anything in between. No hardcore gansta rap or really twangy country though. They are just not my bag. However, if I had to pick one band as my favorite, it would be Coldplay(And not just because of Clocks)
A small sampling of my current musical choices...Coldplay, Citizen Cope, Joseph Arthur, Stars of Track and Field, Keane, The Decemberists, Franz Ferdinand, Radiohead, Death Cab For Cutie, Snow Patrol, Distorted Pengiuns(support the local guys), Dave Brubeck Quartet, Ben Kweller, Athlete, Carmina Burana(Greatest Opera Ever!)...Rather eclectic don't ya think?
Movies
Star Wars, Anything Kevin Smith, Pulp Fiction and Reservior Dogs, Chinatown, The Exorsist, Godfather I and II, The Goonies, The Matrix, Citizen Kane, Harvey, Braveheart, American Beauty, Pollack(Cheers Ed Harris!), Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Sunset Boulevard, The Wizard of Oz, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet of The Apes(Heston not Wahlberg), The Big Lebowski, V for Vendetta(Blew my mind!!!)
TV: NipTuck(Sopranos, ER, high quality soap opera, and softcore porn all rolled into one), Scrubs is a gift from God, The History Channels(I am a documentary FREAK!!!) Reality TV is the ruination of American society, discourages creativity among our youth, and encourages laziness.
