I'd like to meet:
Who would I like to meet? For starters, and in no particular order...
A charming and talented dog to be my best friend. Preferably housebroken, flea-free, and completely lacking bad habits such as chewing on things, peeing on things, or smoking. Not having rabies is also a big plus. (This position has been filled. All dogs may stop forwarding me their resumes at this time.)
The people who come up with strange culinary ideas. For example, I would like to meet the (man)(woman)(child) who came up with the
century egg
. I would like to ask this person what possessed them to bury a duck egg for 100 days, dig it up, and eat it. Surely there was some fascinating (if not sound) logic involved in this decision and I would like to hear of it. This person is apparently long dead so this will most likely not happen, but now you know the caliber of "culinary" idea of which I am speaking. Obviously I won't be eating anything they offer me. Anyone with a similarly weird idea will do. An exception to this: I would not like to meet the person who came up with the idea of
Rocky Mountain oysters . That's just wrong on so many levels and I've got nothing to say to this person.
Messianics.
Old friends who I have lost contact with.
Thinkers and witty people.
Other fans of ska. We are a minority so we should network.
Ray Smuckles . Millionaire. Philosopher. Cartoon cat.
Ghosts. Or leprechauns. But no ghosts of leprechauns, please. I have standards, after all.
So if you fit any of these, feel free to message me or add me.
Music:
Music massages the mind and damages your eardrums in the process. I have a huge CD collection. Alternative, ska, and punk. My favorite bands in the order they come to mind: Reel Big Fish, For Squirrels, Big D & the Kid's Table, Link 80, Home Grown, Social Distortion, Five Iron Frenzy, The Slackers, Descendents, Mad Caddies, Operation Ivy, Weezer, Foo Fighters, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Dan Potthast, Soul Coughing, Mike Doughty, MU330, Slapstick, Primus, The Living End, Joseph Israel, Matisyahu, The Pilfers, Jimmy Eat World, Babylove and the Van Dangos, Spunge, Edna's Goldfish, Spring Heeled Jack, The Slackers, The Planet Smashers, Mustard Plug, Spunge, Strung Out, Dog's Eye View, Pushover, Catch 22, Streetlight Manifesto, Kicked in the Head, Sublime, The Gadjits
Movies:
I am big on comedy, animation, and action movies. Some of my favorites are the Bourne movies (Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum), Office Space (it's just like working in an office!), Idiocracy, Serenity, Jim Carey movies, Bruce Lee movies, Punisher, Daredevil, A History of Violence, Cloverfield, the Spider-man movies, Batman Begins, 30 Days of Night, With Honors, Akira. I like many many more but I'm not going to list every single one for your sake and my own.
Television:
Ahh yes, the greatest tool of mass social distraction the world has ever known, second only to the internet. We sacrifice our freedoms so we can feel secure while watching reality shows to escape the reality that our reality is going down the tubes. When I watch TV, I watch LOST, My Name Is Earl, the Office, Smallville, Heroes, and a handful of other shows. I really don't know how many shows you can fit in a hand. Is there a standard size for shows? I love Firefly, but it's not on TV anymore. That's about it. Occasionally I watch other shows and I cruelly mock them for their utter lameness until their producers come to me crying. This sometimes takes awhile.
Books:
TV remote instruction manuals. Foreign language obituaries. Stories about mealworm mythology or stickbug savagery. Haikus involving chihuahuas, lava lamps, and random acts of home decorating. Compilations of bathroom wall scribbles... Not really. I have a pretty decent book collection, covering everything from the "classics" to religious commentary to history to humor to horror to, well, whatever else is out there that I'm not thinking of right now.
