Hi.  I'm Kurt.  I currently live in Milwaukee, WI.  I am twenty-three years old.  I have an earring in my left ear, in the cartilage area, just a little hoop.  I like it though.

As I am writing this, I am cursing this season.  Although I love summer because it is warm and I love warm weather, I hate it because I cannot breath.  I've been to the doctor about my allergies, but nothing works.  And because I have a stupid HMO, they won't send me to an allergist to correctly diagnose why I cannot breath during the summer.  For the time being, I enjoy the warm weather but subconsciously count down the days to November when I can breath again. 

I've been exploring lately too.  What I want to do with my life.  I have never been to Chicago, well besides driving through it on my way to Indianapolis, I had never been, like, off the freeway and venturing into an area that I have absolutely no clue where I am going and no big signs above my head to tell me that I am heading in the correct direction.  So a friend and I went down to Chicago to go shopping.  It was raining to beat the band...just kinda gloomy day.  But we went anyway.  Then, leaving, I took a wrong turn and oopps, I got lost.  Overall, it was fun though.  I have been doing a lot of things like that recently.  Just kinda exploring what I want to do.  Who I want to become.  What I want to do.  I've been dancing a lot lately too.  That is something I rarely ever did in the past.  It's all part of the 'stop being shy' mood that I have been in. 

I like music.  I really do not get into the words of music though.  I get more into the melody and the sound of music.  I guess I have always been that way though.  It really dates back to the days of high school when I was in band.  'Band geek' wasn't really a term used at my high school.  Yeah, there were geeks, in all the different bands and jazz bands, etc, that the high school offered, but then there were people like me.  I was in it because I like music and we had cool trips too.  We marched in the Orange Bowl Parade in Miami, FL and the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C.  I also ushered at the Weidner Center in Green Bay.  I got to see many musicals that way.  I think, overall, my favorite is The Phantom of the Opera.  I get into the instruments and the music they make.  Believe it or not, I still listen to music that people would be all 'oh my god' about.  A good example of this is Sisqo's 'Thong Song'.  Listen to it sometime.  The crescendo in the middle of it gets me every time.  That is the type of thing that I get into.  I rarely know the exact words to a song, but I could belt out the melody no problem.  I guess I am just a musical person, no a 'fine arts' geek.

I am opinionated.  Wait, scratch that thought, just moody.  I can be in a good mood and then all of a sudden, bam, bad mood.  I have noticed that certain people trigger this, well sometimes.  I read somewhere once that is just a characteristic of Cancer, after all, the symbol for Cancer is a crab.  I'm not sure.  All I know is that I can be a moody son-of-a-bitch.  Just a trait of mine.  Learn to live with it, and we'll get along just fine.
