About Me

  • About Me: If you are reading this message right now and you are in your adulthood, I am probably dead by now. So my message from the grave is this, a small note in a yearbook. My life is but a footprint on a sandy beach that is quickly washed away. I am only here for this moment, and it is good. High school is the greatest time of my life and its memories are the only reason I am happy. Just kidding, high school isn't worth having a yearbook for! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. My blog is based on random facts and making them seem more useful than they probably are, and it's on Xanga's Featured Content list every week. I'm just another guy who goes to a liberal arts school for the purpose of getting a little piece of paper called a degree, hoping to get somewhere in life when I graduate from this cesspool of academic horror. Comments are always welcome so feel free to leave them, and if you wish to subscribe, go ahead!

More Info After I get my degree, I'm hoping to either have my own talk show someday or have the government train me to become a private investigator. The pay stinks, but oh well.

  • Favorite Quotes: "Four years from now, it won't matter. It's not about white, black, yellow, or brown. What everyone gives a damn about is green, and you'll be telling the punk who told you to go back to the hood, 'Here are the keys to my Lexus, don't scratch it.'" - Coach Wetmore from Running of the Buffaloes "Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words." - Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes "Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless." - Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes "We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing." - Guy Montag from Fahrenheit 451 "What a dreadful surprise. For everyone nowadays knows, absolutely is certain, that nothing will ever happen to me. Others die, I go on. There are no consequences and no responsibilities. Except that there are. But let's not talk about them, eh? By the time the consequences catch up with you, it's too late, isn't it?" - Captain Beatty from Fahrenheit 451
