Profile
Previously known as: the_shmee "I'm not like anyone you'll ever meet. I hope you can say the same." You can call me Makoto (or Mack). Yoroshiku. No, I'm not some disillusioned white boy who goes about trying to convince everyone I'm actually Japanese. I was living in Tokyo, Japan (I was born in SK, Canada), so I often will throw out Japanese phrases that I find to me either more appropriate or convenient. I'm not fluent yet though, so please don't attempt to carry on conversation with me as I'll have no idea what you're saying. I am 6'1 and roughly 165 lbs. My natural hair colour is dirty blonde, and my eyes are blue/green. I don't have any inks yet, and I currently have my lip pierced on either side (venom, snakebites, pick your poison), as well as my left ear lobe pierced. I used to have both done, but a bad keloid on my right ear left me with no choice but to remove the ring. I miss it, so I'm considering a dermal punch so I can have it back. I'm of Norwegian, Romanian, German, and Scottish descent. I have an irrational fear of sharks, and I hate chalk and balloons. I think tomatoes look and smell delicious, but I can't stand the taste or texture. What a shame. I have recently learned how to whistle, but it's still rather shaky, and I don't enjoy the thought of puckering up to practice in public. I passionately HATE dancing, and there isn't anyone in the all the world with enough money to ever make me do it, so don't even try. I'm actually usually a pessimist (though I'm trying not to be), and I am an introvert more or less. I'm no genius or anything, but I do require some level of intellect and maturity to enjoy a conversation. Close minded people prone to temper tantrums need not apply, and I'd say that if you're legitimately stupid, please don't approach me. I strive to be kind, but not to be nice. Of course, if you ARE actually stupid, odds are good you aren't aware of it. What a waste of e-breath. I'm also a grammar nazi for the most part, but I'm not perfect myself, and odds are good you'll find some typos if you're looking for them. :) My passions include, but are not limited to: learning more about the God I love (as well as telling those who are open to it about Him) and everything included; and there is ALOT. Outside of that, I'm almost completely devoted to music. I love almost all styles and forms, and LOVE learning about new ways to make BEAUTIFUL noise. Primarily, I listen to alot of heavy stuff. My list of bands I enjoy is not only diverse, but impressive (if I may boast). I LOVE playing music. I play a number of instruments, but my favorites are guitar and drums. They're also probably the ones I'm best at too (as far as I know). I've never seen myself as an outstanding musician, but I play enough to get by. That's not me being humble, just honest. I love to sing, but am terribly shy about it. Screaming on the other hand brings out the shamelessness in me. I love it, and it feels so freeing. Outside of the fact that I really enjoy starting my self descriptive sentences with 'I', I can't really think of much else to tell you. Anything else you'd like to know, I'd be more than happy to answer, as I'm quite an open person. Problem is, I often struggle with expressing myself verbally. Know this well. Until I have my breakthrough, I will break your heart.
Likes
I like music, playing guitar, shows, screaming, writing, open minds, and a good sense of humour. I like too much to try and list it all.
Dislikes
Balloons, chalk, sharks, racists, closed minds, judgemental people, police - I'm not saying they're ALL bad (just lots of bad experiences), over-opinionated people who use bluntness as an excuse to be an asshole. Also, I don't have much patience for people who go around bashing other people's beliefs. Don't dish out what you don't want done to you. Also, if you're gonna talk shit, please be able to back it up. I have a bad habit up of taking people down off their high horses in not-so-loving ways. I'm not perfect, and I won't try to convince you I am.
Favorite Music
Honestly, I'm down for just about anything except emo and polka. Metal, jazz, country, industrial, rock, blues, world, hardcore, rockabilly, etc. I LOVE talking music, so if you're looking for a good conversation starter with me, you know what to do.
