I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

it's always about me and here's some proof. i'm at work and i'm giggling/laughing/having fun with coworkers. one remarks "it's always about melek." i laugh and commence to think about what he said for a minute or two while racking my brain for instances when i thought about others first, or some lame shit like that, and i look up at a different coworker, feeling slightly shamed, and ask her: "is it really aways about me?" she laughs and says "yes it is." then i got it: i just spent however long thinking only about me and how it is or isn't all about me while everyone else in the group kept going. yes...i'm a freak!

My Interests

finishing school. thai chi, literature dealing with social ills and accomplishments, keeping it green and clean, the complete dismantling of the anesthitized gay cutlture with its A&F, youth-obseesed, white-only (don't get it twisted), sugar-plum fairy bullshit. oh! entenmans with a glass of milk. sudoku on the train, smoothies while people watching, hating on normative social constructions, and of course...coffee and cigaretts!

I'd like to meet:

meeting people makes me not like them.

Music:

mostly soul, r-n-b,some hip-hop...no one ever really comes to mind when thinking about this. but recently i've fallen in love with rufus wainwright, cat power, and bryan mcpherson definetely deserves a shout-out. aretha franklin will always be #1 and then subsequently other heavy set soulful ladies cross my mind. chris cornell 4-eva!

Movies:

throw mamma from the train, election, swimming with sharks, rushmore, secret window, bad santa, bad santa, and more bad santa, it's gotta be dark. and yes, you must see affliction!

Television:

i finally got cable: i can't stop watching crimey, forensicy shows...who did it, why and how, and how'd they get caught!

Books:

i can't read or wite, but how am i doing this you ask--telekinesis. (mental note) **insert literary theory big whigs here** I recently read Miranda v. Arizona, the supreme court ruling...yes for fun. it's pretty interesting stuff (our civil rights that is).

Heroes:

dreamers, visionaries, philosophers...but only those who actualize too.

My Blog

i wish i’d said this!!!

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctoral gift that no one ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly un...
