About Me

I'm enrolled at ETSU, not really sure what I'm doing here yet, Undeclared major, but hey, full ride, why not? Right now I'm focusing networking and connections and friends. I'm starting to get back into music after 3 years away from it, relearning everything, but it's still fun (I'm into rap now, I did play classical violin in an orchestra before.) Just got really into skateboarding... broke my wrist already (I'm really good at breaking myself, better at that than actually doing things.) I like photography a lot, that's another passion. Umm Yea that's all I have off the top of my head. When in doubt, deuces out!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- MF Doom, Modest Mouse, Nirvana, My Morning Jacket, Palmer Squares, Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Wu Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg, The Black Keys, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Queens of The Stone Age, Animal Collective, Eddie Vedder
Books- I really like Hunter S. Thompson, most beatniks (Bukowski, mostly), Jack London, John Muir, Henry David Thoreau, I'll read any religious text, you can learn from anything even if you dont prescribe to the views in it, I like poetry.
Movies- I'm a little juvenile when it comes to movies, I really dig Stepbrothers and such movies, if that gives you a feel for it. Although my favorite movie is Darjeeling Limited, I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan. Also in a local nonprofit, historical movie theatre (yes, theatre, the fancy kind, no chains for me!) for the past two years so I've learned some stuff about foreign film and cinematography. Do expect a lot uhuhs and yeas though if you know a lot about film, you'll quickly go out my depth, always down to learn more though!

Basically I'll listen to anything, read anything, watch anything, I'm pretty open to all of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked in the deserts and mountains of New Mexico for 12 days, that was cool I guess and painful... so painful, but so beautiful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ideas, jokes (I like to think I'm witty), knowledge, music, art, philosophy (maybe, not sure I really have anything figured out but I got some ideas)
