Eric-Michael

There's a lot to be done while your head is still young.

About Me

Someone once said that I "lacked any sense of self-propriety." I don't necessarily agree with that notion. Often vulgar, angry and inappropriate, but just a cuddly helper monkey on the inside. David Bowie once said I was the "swingingest" man to ever propose to him.I'm also a bit accident prone; I fall down a lot. Feel free to point and laugh.Bookish, sassy, plays well with others for the most part. I like to read the fine print. Little in the middle but I got much back.Amid concrete and clay and general decay nature must still find a way.

My Interests

Socialism (especially of the democratic variety), drinking in excess, seducing pastries, social lubrication, pot-smoking, nose-picking, butt-scratching, eating lead paint chips, cat-hating, vegetarianism, strip Uno, RISK!, looking for love in all the wrong places, getting mugged, tattoos, hot sauce, fake meats, asthma pumps, biting sarcasm, sharpie markers, skipping work, queer pulp fiction, supplying broke friends with booze, inappropriate conversation, inappropriate behavior, fidgeting, shooting my mouth off, cursing, pedestrian rage, combat boots, history, scholiosis, power tools and building junk, chain-smoking, coffee snobbery, tomfoolery, faggotry, fast times with fast boys, political incorrectness, shoegazing, legality, annexing sovereign countries into my world empire for the sake of America's national security, being superfluously hyphenated, using phrases like superfluously hyphenated. Anything in the gray areas between the black and the white.

I'd like to meet:

I don't want to classify you like an animal in the zoo but it seems good to me to know that you're homosapien too.Other leftists who like to talk shop but who aren't fascists about it. Sweetiepie biker boys who'll ride their bikes with me ALWAYS welcome. Drunk-soaked former Trotskyist poppenjays are also good. People who help others by helping themselves. Racists, classists, homophobes, sexists and gender discriminators please move to back of the bus.Maybe a date?
