Hello world!

January 7, 2008

My name is Kurtis! ^_^ I had a blog some time ago, but I don’t know what happened to it. Anyway, I’ll introduce myself on my NEW blog! I’m 17 years old, in 12th grade, and currently attending college classes as well! I work at KFC and a section about ME is currently featured. I’m a big deal for some reason, I really don’t think I’m that great, I do have a positive attitude about everything, but that can’t be everything. But anyway, I’ve been promoted to Team Trainer, and I’ll be a Shift Manager this summer. ^_^ Away from work, I love drawing. I’m taking a college Graphic Design class with Introduction To Typography and Drawing. But I really want to go into Manga comics. I heavily base my art on the Japanese style of Manga. My dream is actually to be a manga artist. It’s something that is really important to me. I want to spend my life doing something I love.

Away from the topic of visual arts, I want to talk about my musical taste. ^_^ I’m pretty out there when it comes to music. ^_^ I like all kinds of bands… except for rap. The only rap songs I like are Crank Dat Soulja Boy and that Low song. Some favorite picks from my library are ACDC, Anti-Flag, Against Me, Arctic Monkeys, Avenged Sevenfold, Big D and the Kids Table, Bonde de Role, Cake, Chicks on Speed, Coheed and Cambria, Datarock, D’espairsRay, The Devil Wears Prada, Devotchkas, The Distillers, Draco and the Malfoys, Dragonforce, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Emile Autumn, Fall Out Boy, Flogging Molly, Franz Ferdinand, The Gazette, Gogol Bordello, Green Day, Gwen Stephanie and No Doubt, Haste the Day, He is Legend, Head Automatica, Horrorpops, Jack Off Jill, Jet, The Kinks, Kiss, The Kooks, Kultur Shock, Le Tigre, Liza Minelli, Marylin Manson, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, Micheal Jackson, Modest Mouse, The Moldy Peaches, My Chemical Romance, Nickelback, Nightwish, Nina Hagen, Oi Polloi, N’Sync, Ok Go, Paramore, Parry Gripp, PlayRadioPlay, Presidents of the United States of America, Rammstein, Rasputina, Regina Spektor, Renan Luce, Rod Stewart, Say Anything, She Wants Revenge, Smashmouth, Sonata Arctica, Splay, Stereo Total, Steven Lynch, System of a Down, Tenacious D, Tokio Hotel, Tsnuami Bomb, Vangelis, Vincent Black Shadow, Violent Femmes, Voltaire, We Are Scientists, Weezer, Weird Al Yankovich, Wolfmother, Yelle, and Zombina and the Skeletones. I also like musicals and disney soundtracks, like The Sound of Music, Avenue Q, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Mulan, Alladin, Etcetra. I also enjoy listening to videogame music and old TV themes like Duck Tales, Inspector Gadget, Power Rangers, and Walker Texas Ranger.

Yup. That there is a wall of text. ^_^ So that’s about it! I can’t wait to get started. If you’re wondering where this blog may go, I’ll probably cover music, art, and a lot of my job at KFC. See you all around! (^_^)/ )))
