Is this thing on?…

Hello all!

My name’s Jordan Beall, straight out of Nor Cal’s Napa Valley from the tiny, one stoplight, grape-growing town of Calistoga. To give an example of exactly how small my town is: Graduating class = 39 people, school 7th grade to 12th grade = 360 people. It’s not exactly the most exciting place which is one reason San Francisco interested me so much. I love this city and have grown up driving down here on the weekends and exploring the more well known areas. Coming to this school was pretty much a given although I have no idea what I’m doing now that I’m here. I’m a psychology major, soon to change to International Studies. I want to try to double major in Art and minor in business but I’ll settle for at least graduating on time. My two passions are ART and TRAVELING. I love to draw, paint and especially use charcoal. I love to make movies with my friends, very very amateur films of course, usually making fun of well know Hollywood films, but that is as far as my film experience goes. My favorite movies include The Breakfast Club, Amelie, Fight Club, Donnie Darko, Juno, Into The Wild, Dazed and Confused, Requiem For A Dream, Ghost World, Garden State, Knocked Up, The Virgin Suicides, The Labrinth (david bowie!), American Beauty, Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist and many many more. I also love music (although my piano lessons were a failure)and I love love love going to shows. Seeing a band live is by far my favorite pass time. Going back to what I said earlier, I love traveling. I spent a year living in Denmark from 2006-07 and it was the best time of my life. I’ve traveled all over Europe and really gained an appreciation for our small world. But now I’m here, at USF, chillin in Gillson Hall. Hope you all found my life/interests some what intriguing.
