My Interests

buddhism, notoriety, history, local politics, home recording, getting hit with a stick, haikus & general geekery

I'd like to meet:

the guy who coined the phrase 'three-peat' and hit him with a big stick (with bonus beatings for the genius who followed it up with 'two-peat'...)

Music:

beatles, black crowes, wilco, badfinger, sloan, sam roberts, jet, and a bunch of other stuff that people seem to find tiresome

Movies:

memento, fight club, shaun of the dead, amadeus, the south park movie, army of darkness, the last temptation of christ, groundhog day, gandhi, old school, bridge on the river kwai, crumb, the lord o' the rings extended editions, and a whole whack of others.

Television:

venture brothers, my name is earl, slings & arrows, the daily show, dexter, corner gas & lucky louie. just about everything else on tv is unadulterated crap. go ahead - convince me otherwise...

Books:

we likes bookses... we would like even more the energy to stay awake for more than 3 pages at the end of an average day...

My Blog

note to self (in haiku):

you'll always regret the second egg mcmuffin. you're not that hungry!
