About Me

You should never go to a gym. It's tacky. The only reason to go to a gym is if you have some physical malfunction or health disorder that requires specific excersize attention. Other than that, if you go to a gym you fail the pop quiz. You could have ridden a bike (if you aren't afraid of cars like I am), walk your ass around town, skateboard or go swimming which are plenty fun and work you out at the same time. Plus you can work out at your home which makes it stupid to pay money and be at a gym on a treadmill or tri-cep pumping machine surrounded by ass-holes and terrible music, when you could be doing something productive like watching TV and checking your email between reps. You can also do funny things like looking at yourself in the mirror with your shirt off while lifting the 15-30 pound dumbells. If you are in the better side of 'shape' it is almost kind of hot and you never have to tell anybody about it. You can make your work-out part of your daily life without altering things too much and eventually you'll realize that your physical health is a reflection of your mental state. But maybe that's always true anyway.

My Interests

Music software. Things that make noises. Plots, gossip, storytelling. Theatrics. Subtle deception. Playing dumb. Cults. Self help.

I'd like to meet:

www.parkour-videos.com... I'd make them play better music and stuff. Then we could all, like, hang... y'know?

Music:

'Ride on Time' By Black Box, 'Scattered Pearls' by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, 'We all have a map of the piano' by Mum, 'There is a light that never goes out' by The Smiths, 'Franz Kafka is Dead' by The Valentinos (one remix but I forget who did it), 'City Calm Down,' by Architechture in Helsinki, 'Fists up' by The Blow and 'Y control' by the Yeah yeah yeahs... sorry... love the hell out of these songs.

Movies:

Recently: I'm drawing a blank. Everything I have seen recently has been sort of annoying. I hated 'Children of Men' except for one or two of the action scenes, but overall that movie had no redeaming commentary and mostly just pretended to have a plot. I was shocked by how pointless 'Babel' was because it was supposed to be profound... I think that like 'Crash' it was trying to be 'Traffic' and failing miserably out of lack of a tangible point. 'Stranger than fiction' utilized similar things to 'I 3 Huckabees' and 'Adaptation' but still remained enjoyable and uplifting, but I was mostly annoyed. 'Pan's Labyrinth' tried too hard but had a nice ending... too bad it isn't suitable for what should have been its prime audience = children. 'Eagle vs. Shark' was just boring and irritating. I guess I mostly liked 'Volver'.

Television:

Viacom... flip back and forth between vh1 and comedy central and occasionally mtv. Do they own CMT too? I love them, they're the best company.

Books:

The Fortress of Solitude (Jonathan Lethem), Giovanni's Room (James Baldwin), Rumors of Peace (Ella Lefland), Kurt Vonnegut, C Bard Cole, Dennis Cooper, David Wjnarovich (sp?), One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Marquez), The Man Who Fell in Love With the Moon (I forget the author's name), queer NON-EROTICA short stories, Fun Home (Alison Bechdel), Teen Titans, Invisibles, Justice League... I just started reading the martian manhunter comic but am not sure I like it. He's just not the same j'on j'onzz.

Heroes:

Tonya Harding
