i HATE apartment/home hunting because it’s an annoying, frustrating, slightly depressing, project. Right now, i just want to be moved into my new artist studio, but a million things are going on or getting in my way, and it’s causing me to explode in chaotic rage. i also hate gold frames on art, spilling things, poorly cooked food, and being on a crowded bus or train.
i hate a bunch of other stuff, so you’ll just have to open up the flash document to find them out.

i LOVE organization, mainly because i’m slightly obsessive compulsive, if you didn’t already know that. i love writing – in my journal, poetry, whatever… i LOVE white chocolate, like Dunkin’ Donuts White Hot Chocolate, or those awesome Flipz things. i love 2 other things that i can’t write on this front page (mainly out of fear, but maybe to your benefit, too), you’ll just have to open up the flash document to find them out.

i wrote a poem back in September of 2007 right before the Autumnal Equinox and i’ve been meaning to illustrate and animate it in Flash since then. i’m a little late, which should be an indication of how busy i am with work, the website, snowboarding, life in general, but whatever. This Flash poem is meant to convey the speed at which i would read it out loud, but there is no music or sound. i leave that up to your imagination, or something…

i LOVE dreaming, and i secretly wish my full time job was to be an Oneironaut. One day, i’ll write a novel that’s just one long continuation of dreams that i’ve written down over the years, and it will be both confusing and awesome.

Anyway, click the picture above to open the Flash poem, “Oneironaut,” up in a new window.

i LOVE lists, if you didn’t already know that, but not just Lists of the things i Love and Hate; i love making Music Playlists and To Do Lists. i LOVE Video Games, like Mega Man, Zelda, Mario, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat… you know, all the good ones. i also LOVE Comics, strips, books, graphic novels, and toys. i LOVE working out and staying in shape, because it makes me feel good, and i LOVE painting. i’ve actually been pretty busy the past 2 weeks being sick and working on a piece of art that consists of 7 paintings. i’ll post pictures and icons of them later when they’re dried. For now, i’ll just leave you all with My Love List’s 21st through 30th entries.

i HATE when people call me “Rick” or “Ricky,” and i HATE when people spell “Richie” with a “t.” i would rather you don’t say anything at all, but i HATE awkward silence, so you just can’t win with me, i guess. i HATE when people say useless “like”s and “ummm”s in conversation, even though i tend to sometimes do it myself. Even worse than all of those things, though, are things that are broken, and things that tick or rattle. Kill me now, because i’m fucking surrounded…

i LOVE to eat. i especially love eating a good, big breakfast of cereal, milk, juice, eggs, bacon, toast, and pancakes. i also love Mega Man, the video game character, if you didn’t already know. i try to drink a lot of water, and i pretend i know a lot about the moon and the sun, but even if i don’t, i still Love them…

it’s impossible to put my lists in a perfect order because of 2 things: 1 – Nothing’s perfect, and 2 – i both hate and love so many things.

From now on, for the Hate/Love Lists, i’ll post in groups of 5, and after the top 20, only make 1 or 2 things on the lists interactive/clickable. i won’t be writing these explanations anymore in the posts, because from now on, you’ll already be familiar with the lists and i will be past the top 20…

Please have fun with this and don’t take it too seriously. Some entries can be clicked on (you’ll see the hand cursor in the Flash document animate) for an extra animation or surprise or link. i will be posting new entries every other week or so, so check back for updates.

i HATE being hungry. Not only do i think i’m Hypoglycemic, but being hungry is very distracting and frustrating. Just a little bit more distracting than crying or screeching babies/kids, stomach aches, headaches/migraines, and other people’s gross, incessant coughing. i won’t mention the name of the guy that sits in the next cube over from me at work.

i have been drawing since i could pick up a pencil. it’s one of my favorite things in life. One of my other favorite things in life is laughing. i try to experience or do as many things as possible that are on My Love List in any given day, but some just can’t be done. i can’t celebrate Halloween every day, but i can apply my Berry Lip Balm every day.

i can’t stand being itchy. First off, it makes me think of bugs (see My Hate List Top 10). Second, i HAVE to scratch an itch. it’s impossible for me not to; it feels so damn good to scratch an itch.
