About
I am the song that sings the bird.
I am the leaf that grows the land.
I am the tide that moves the moon.
I am the stream that halts the sand.
I am the cloud that drives the storm.
I am the earth that lights the sun.
I am the fire that strikes the stone.
I am the clay that shapes the hand.
I am the word that speaks the man.- Charles Causley, "I Am the Song"
Okay, first of all, that's an awesome poem. Just throwing that out there for you all. But anyway. I'm not going to be like a lot of those fools who make a ridiculously long "About Me" section that tells their whole life story and spills their guts to whoever wants to sit there long enough to read it. I'm just going to tell you what you need to know.
Firstly and most important: if you're looking for someone who's normal, and/or conforms to whatever everyone else is doing.. Look elsewhere. I'm far from normal, and I'd rather be dead than be a conformist. I'm gonna be honest, I'm one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, if you stick around long enough to get to know me, but I might turn out to be the exact opposite if you do something to tick me off. While I try to stay positive, I'm not one of those people who's always happy sunshine and rainbow-crapping unicorns all the time. That's just annoying. If I start acting depressed, it's not like most people in the world who fake their problems and complains all the time just to get attention. I take meds for depression, it's a legit problem, and if you're one of those people who pretends to have it just to get the spotlight, turn away now, or I just might kill you. Anyways. As long as you're not one of those subhuman jerks, and you're willing to call me a friend instead of a freak, again, I'll be one of the nicest people you ever run into. I like to think of myself as a good friend, and a just person, and I'm apparently hard to hate.
Enough of personality, and on to interests. I like music. And that doesn't mean I'm one of those half-brained fools who mindlessly listens to whatever "music" that today's pop-artists happen to crap out. It means I like music that's actually good. But it also means that I like to actually play music. I play in the concert band, the jazz band, the orchestra, and the marching band at school, and I can probably play more instruments than you can name off the top of your head. Don't knock it, or I'll probably throw rocks at you. I like anime, really almost any anime, so long as it's not, well, retarded. I love a good book, yes, I'm a reader. Movies are nice, particularly action, or horror, or something that's not a lot of idiotic drama about people whining all the time about nothing in particular. I'm one of those people who'll watch TV despite the fact that there's never anything good on. I'll find something, because it's more than likely that I'm bored at any given moment, and have nothing better to do. Gaming is another passion of mine, so I'm kind of going for a.. 'Music teacher by day, Batman/Game designer by night' sort of deal. Which involves a double-major, so yeah, I work hard. Um, yeah.
That about wraps things up. That kind of turned out longer than I'd hoped, but as you can see, I'm a bit of a ranter. Anyhow, hopefully you'll stick around long enough to get to know me, and I won't have to shell you with rocks, or punch you in the face, or anything. Thanks for reading.
- Jake, out
