About Me


Click here to get this skin for your profile!(so I need a change, do I?)When I finally asked my mom about my name when I was younger she confessed that I wasn't named after anyone or anything in particular but it was altered so that I didn't remind her of a baking ingredient, and it pretty much went downhill from there.(blue skies, smiling at me... nothing but blue skies, do I see)If I like you, I'll love you forever. If there's something about you that sets me off a little bit, I'll get back at you by making your face on the floor with 4000 eggshells, so don't test me. Few things demand more of a commitment from me than skim milk and black teeshirts, so if you are not one of the above, your odds are not good.(bluebird, singing a song... nothing but bluebirds all day long)I'd love to be a poet. Or an auto-mechanic. Or a bounty-hunter. Or a welder. I'd love to be softer and harder, and have more patience. I want to be a sweetly docile butt-kicker with a big tolerance and a long fuse. A deliciously seductive hardass, a contradiction, a whirlwind, a perfect mix with a little extra to lick off the spoon.

just about everything that doesn't involve clowns, balloons, loud noises or my student loans.

I'd like to meet:

anyone who is not obsessed with New York City and never uses the term "artsy." Both of those traits will make me want to punch you in the face.

Music:

Death metal and Ice Cube got into a mortal battle outside of my office today and I have to admit that I kind of liked it. Everything has its time and place, from Patsy Cline in the shower to blues on the open road to a little Lynryrd Skynrd with 20,000 of your closest Southern friends.

Movies:

Anything on USA after 2am... other than that, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Lost In Translation, You've Got Mail, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, A Christmas Story, Ocean's Eleven, So I Married An Axe Murderer (although you can techincally turn it off after the wedding reception), Best In Show, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Tommy Boy. man, my list kind of makes me look like an idiot...

Television:


Get this video and more at MySpace.comEverything is watchable when you don't feel like doing what you should be doing. I can definitely postpone most activities to watch a little Sex and the City or Six Feet Under, and lately Reno 911 has me weeping with joy. I've also been known to be unmovable by force from the couch when Law and Order is on, although I've discovered at the gym that even that show can't keep me on a treadmill for long.

Books:

anything that gets me thinking, especially something that gets me so excited I feel like I have to tell someone about it. But then again, everything excites me. i should probably stop that. Oh, and "everything is illuminated," that's a damn fine book. And look, I spent seven years of my life that I can't get back reading art philosophy that meant nothing to me so please keep your over-rated over-thought overly-complicated criticism to your dang self.

Heroes:

Ron Popeil, Jack LaLanne the original Juice Tiger, Gary Larson, My Dad, Anne D'Harnoncourt, the Iron Chefs, Grace Kelly and Cornelia Parker... and the original RainMakerCyberMensch Mario Gallardo

delicate irreverence

I find that I like tiny, delicate, peaceful acts of irreverence. They make me laugh. Like the fact that I'm building a huge collection of unused sugar packets in my desk drawer; everyone that comes in...
