About Me

The details of my life are quite inconsequential.....very well then, where do I begin?? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner...with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15 year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy - the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical...when I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who share interests in food, wine, music, merriment, and BUDDHISM. Let us be good natured, soft-spoken, and kind hearted like our mothers wanted us to be...BUT let us embrace the dark side...and be bold, outspoken, pillage like our mothers NEVER anticipated we could be.....Anyway, WHO would I like to meet? Zen Buddhists,writers,The Monty Python Troupe,Other Mods from every neck of the woods, other Nutters! Madness, The GREAT Martin Scorsese, Robert DeNiro, Gordon Ramsey, Anthony Bourdain, MAYBE Marco Pierre White, but he scares me!I'd also love to meet Lewis Carroll but I've been told he's dead

"Youre a Buddhist AND a Catholic?? How does that work??"

X at the Rialto, Saturday June 7th, 2008
