About Me

I'm Sam. As a native New Yorker, I am horrified by my semi-frequent use of the conjunction 'y'all'. I like to write. I like to cook. To round myself out, I like to sporadically play sports. I was a roller derby princess, but I have since switched to softball. I'm quite terrible. I like contradictions and so should you. Amongst many, many other things, I enjoy a good beer or 9, eyeshadow, the rock, the roll, politicing, reading, antitheism and horror movies much more than any respectable young lady should. I wish less people trusted the government. I think America is well on its way to becoming a dystopian nation. I'm a sucker for some good facial hair. I don't wear heels. I love my family and my friends. Anything else you might care to know about me can be found out with simple questions- it's called conversation.

My Interests

I have a rather unhealthy obsession with music, books and horror movies. I appreciate sarcasm, cynicism and dry humor. I'm into antitheism, tea, music videos, cooking, the tragic complexities and impossibilities of anarchy, live music, sewing, people who sound like they've been smoking entirely too much for entirely too long, painting, printmaking, drawing, political philosophies that aspire to destroy any and all social/financial hierarchies, Guinness, canoeing, the beach, amusement parks, my cats, (YEAH CATS), nihilism, traveling, spontaneous road trips, men who treat me poorly, world domination, and honey.

ADDENDUM:

Things I do not like:

People who touch my radio or any other listening device, raw tomatos, olives and mushrooms, 'scenesters', acoustic guitars and the whiny singers that generally accompany them, men who try to impress me with their worldy and expensive possessions, bad-boy history and other LAME assorted details of past, Suicide fucking Girls (be more original, seriously, folks...), small toy dogs, bimbos, himbos and stupid people in general, SNL, bipartisan extremists, evangelicals, pastels, bad grammar and spelling, close-talkers and those who are in a consistently good mood (creepy).

I'd like to meet:

I use this thing to keep track of bands I enjoy, and keep in touch with people I care about. If you don't fall into one of these categories, then I probably don't want to meet you. But just in case you think you're special (you aren't), I enjoy meeting people that are not dishonest motherfuckers. Glam rock revivalists, horror fans and people composed of a unique mixture of brains, balls and sass are swell. I guess I wouldn't be opposed to meeting new people that like to rock out. Particularly if you can spell and have the aforementioned 'good facial hair.' I'd also like to meet the person who put 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' on the jukebox at the bar. You played not only Pink Floyd, in a BAR, but you played the ultra-mega-all-9-parts version of the song. All 27 minutes of it. You are an asshole.

ONE MORE THING: I sure wish you dicks that have nothing in common with me would stop messaging me. Just don't do it. This especially includes teenagers, hippies, thugs and people who judge their self worth by how many dumbasses they can get added to their friends list.

Right?

Music:

NIN, BRMC, T Rex, EODM, QOTSA, The Gossip, Slayer, AC/DC, Covenant, The Cult, Black Heart Procession, Missy Elliot, Devo, My Chemical Romance (yeah, I said it...), Kelly Joe Phelps, GBV, Husker Du, Tom Waits, Ludacris, Karp, Tight Bros!, Melvins, Roxy Music, Dre, Roky Erickson, Big Business, Clutch, Led Zep, The Buzzcocks, McLusky, Tangerine Dream, Bad Brains, Hermano, Kyuss, DFA 1979, Slade, T.I., Tomahawk, Peaches, Le Tigre, The Sweet, Eno, The Cramps, Nick Cave, Peter Gabriel, Bowie, Aesop Rock, Clinic, Electric Wizard, Johnny, Hank, Merle and Waylon, Turbonegro, Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Bauhaus, Depeche Mode. Drunk irish people with guitars. I don't believe in, nor do I understand, subscribing to one genre- sartorially or phonetically.

Movies:

I am ridiculously obsessed with horror movies and I don't care what you think about that, unless you agree with me. As for some of my favorite movies:
Ravenous
Prophecy
Suspiria
Demons
Night Watch (Nochnoy Dozor)
Guillermo del Toro stuff
The Ugly
Dead Alive
Slither
Sleepy Hollow
Brotherhood of the Wolf
Last Man on Earth
Romero's Dead series
Dawn of the Dead 2005
Ginger Snaps
Bubba Ho-tep
The Reflecting Skin
Sexy Beast
Black Christmas
The Changeling
Cronos
Royal Tenenbaums
Big Lebowski
Alien: Resurrection
I Spit on Your Grave
28 Days/Weeks Later
Shaun of the Dead
Session 9
First Snow
Evil Dead series
Delicatessen
Resident Evils
City of Lost Children
Manhunter
The Devil's Backbone
3:10 To Yuma
Dementia 13
The Proposition
Clue
Hitchhiker's Guide
Anything of or related to Monty Python. John Carpenter stuff. Gary Oldman, Tim Roth. I have a Joss Wedon obsession. I think Buffy the Vampire Slayer is easily one of the greatest modern creations.
Basically, anything with the word "Dead" in the title.

Television:

Penn and Teller: Bullshit
Family Guy
Simpsons
Masters of Horror
The Office
It's Always Sunny in Philly

Books:

Love it. I believe 'bookworm' is the proper term. Some authors I have enjoyed: Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams, Tom Robbins, Dawkins, Bukowski, Christopher Hitchens, Tom Wolff, Irvine Welsh, Douglas Coupland, Vonnegut, Kerouac, Cormac McCarthy, Shteyngart, etc. etc. I currently think that Palahnuik is completely overrated shit. Like movies and music, I could go on forever.

Heroes:

Norwegians and/or Vikings. Bill Hicks. Chuck Feeney. Terry Gilliam. People who can hold their booze. Josh Homme, who happens to be not only Norwegian, but also a viking. I bet he can hold his booze.

So, ever since "the incident", I've found myself to be in quite a rut.  So, to further emphasize the positive things in my life, and because Dirty Skanky Whore inspired me, I wish to write a blog...

I am a computer genius.

Yesterday my fucking computer died.  The thing weighed about 300 pounds and it was (I think) the first personal computer ever built.  But it had a good, long life.  Painful death, thoug...
