My Spontaneity.

Okay. So maybe I say things sometimes just to be that dissenting voice. Maybe I think it's good to be that counterbalancing force. Or maybe I just like to argue and playfully poke fun at you.That's who I am, you know? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll admit that sometimes I'm a black sheep, looking to stick out in the herd. You are talking to the guy who wore a Yarmulke at a Christian college his freshman year just for kicks. The same guy who bought one white-out contact sophomore year. The same guy who pierced his lips/nipples junior year. The guy who bought a newer, faster motorcycle more to piss off his roommate than to have his own means of transportation.

When you put that all together, you get a crazy guy...sure. You might mistakenly think he's a guy who craves attention, but I don't think you're looking close enough. I see a guy that really just never liked to do things other peoples' way.

I was a terror from elementary school all the way to junior high because teachers couldn't get me to shut up and do what I'm told. I beat to my own drum and forged my own path. I may decide to go the same place you want me to go, but damn it, I'm going to get there by wading through the trees instead of taking the road. Roads are lame, give me thorns and thistles any day.

More than anything, I seek friends who'll accept me despite my crazy and unique character, even love me for it. I'm the guy that's currently wearing Super Mario boxers. And it makes me feel like I can take on the world. I'm the guy that gets excited when I find out that you watch, read, or listen to what I listen to. And you'll look at me weird if I feel an underlying connection based on shared tastes or experiences, (i.e. watching Exo Squad when you were growing up in the 90s)

Currently reading: Chi Running, Dragons of a Lost Star
Currently watching: Friday Night Lights Season 1
Currently listening to: The Fray

P.S. I recently posted a heartfelt review about Friday Night Lights on Amazon.com this afternoon. The show simply moves me.

A review even. I got you so good with FNL. Have you watched season 3 yet? Guessing not. I am watching it weekly on NBC. Soo good. Better than season 2 easy. And myspace disabled your link. Weird.

Oh, and let's not forget the time you shaved off your eyebrows. Man, that was just weird, but it didn't bother me THAT much =) Oh Jon, you still make me laugh
