About Me

According to most religions, we're only on this earth once. After that it's Heaven or Hell or Valhalla or where ever. Experience is the key to life. He who dies with the most of it, wins!

My Interests

Punk Rock, funny women(not necessarily funny lookin'), boobs of all shapes and sizes, Darts(I'm pretty good), Guinness, great beaches, teaching, strippers, cool bars(not clubs), I miss the Clermont Lounge, The Point, The Wreck Room and The Metroplex in Atlanta, midgets, strip clubs, brewing beer, though I haven't done it in a while, Shots in the dark(coffee with a couple shots of espresso), tattoos, retards, playing way too much poker, being as politically incorrect as possible, traveling, my dog Mackeson, named after an English beer thats almost black, just like him, making fun of people who spell, "intelligent" wrong, making fun of guys who order girly drinks, ie. amaretto sours, sexes on the beach, blue Hawaiians(do you need a side of testosterone with that?).

I'd like to meet:

Anyone once. After that, no pretentious idiots, or people who follow every latest trend or dress like their favorite rockstar. If you're a know-it-all, then know it all! You don't have to be open-minded as long as you know enough about life to know why you aren't. And just realize, that no matter which philosophies you hold, the world keeps turning and nobody really gives a fuck anyway, except the bar slut who may or may not blow you later. I want to meet people who can have a good time with out wasting their life(we've all done enough of that). We don't all know what we want, but people who aren't afraid or too lazy to look for it.

Music:

Mostly punk, but lots of other stuff too, a few of my old favorites are: The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, Swingin' Utters, Sloppy Seconds(totally under-rated), The Jam, Sham 69, Naked Raygun, The Cure, Eddie and the Hotrods, Psychadelic Furs, Rose Tattoo, Rancid, The Beltones, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, The Pogues, Cheap Trick, Motorhead, Johnny Cash, Cockney Rejects, Nick Lowe, Cocksparrer, The Killers, Turbonegro, David Allen Coe, Street Dogs, Oasis. I like garage, 70's power pop, ska, reggae(earlier and later), 80's new wave, some dancehall and dub. I even like some classical if it's background music to some "ultra-violence." And a few guilty pleasures I'll only admit to you if you're naked. But in my opinion, the only great rap or hip hop bands were Run DMC and Public Enemy.

Movies:

Some of my all time favorites are: Jaws, A Bronx Tale, Platoon, A Clockwork Orange, Bar Fly, Once were Warriors, Cool Hand Luke, Quadrophenia, The Harder They Come, Apocalypse Now, Suburbia, Repo Man, Rocky 1-5, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Taxi Driver, Snatch, Boondock Saints, True Grit, Goonies, Time Bandits, Straw Dogs, Back to the Future trilogy, Better Off Dead, Freeway, and even couple chick flicks. I had a girlfriend that hated when I said that. She said, "What do you call action movies? Dick flicks?" and I said, "Well, I definitely will from now on."

Television:

Numb3rs, Lost, various cooking shows when I'm hungry, all poker tournaments, The Shield, Rescue Me, 4400, Man vs. Wild(Bear Grylls is a bad ass), Prison Break, and one or two others I guess.

Books:

Some of my favorites: Among the Thugs, England Away, and various books about football hooligans and extremists, Rivet Head(great book except the foreword by Michael Moore), American Skin, lots of subculture books, all Michael Crighton(Not a whole lot of literary merit, but I kind of understand quantum physics, genetics, and nano technology now), Stephen King's Dark Tower series, Kitchen Confidential, Dan Brown, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, Harlan Coben, The New Complete Joy of Homebrewing, and Cliff Notes(I still read them even after college).

Heroes:

All my heroes are dead. Joe Strummer, Johnny Cash, Bob Marley and Evel Knievel

Stolen from Pete about Korea(perfectly put).

Plain and simple, Busan is the fucking shit. When I got here I was a little overwhelmed (huge city!) but got the hang of the subway in an afternoon. There's only 3 lines and once you learn the end sto...

My poor dog needs Prozac

Listen to this;  I moved out to Long Beach a month and a half ago, and into a really cool duplex with a great roommate, and fenced in back and front yards.  One day I go to run a few errands...
