About Me

I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby. I wanna know what love is. I'm sure hard to handle. I'm an ol' cowhand from the Rio Grande. I wanna be sedated. I'm a loser, baby. I wanna hold your hand. I love rock and roll. I left my heart in San Francisco. I got friends in low places. I wanna be your sledgehammer. I'm on a Mexican radio. I got more rhymes than the Bible's got psalms.

My Interests

Anything free/cheap and easily accessible. Plotting to make my escape. Driving to nowhere in particular. Talking to people who don't suck. Not working.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can - and WILL - sing me each of the above.

Other favorites include (in no particular order): Billy Joel, Jason Mraz, R.E.M., The Beatles, Weezer, Beck, Chris Rice, Pete Yorn, Alison Krauss and Union Station, The Refreshments, Marc Broussard, Harry Connick Jr., Rufus Wainwright, Coldplay, Toad the Wet Sprocket...and many, MANY MORE!

Movies:

Gladiator, Serenity, Hunt for Red October, Office Space, Indiana Jones, Princess Bride, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Star Wars, Garden State, Punisher, Wedding Planner, Abyss, Shaun of the Dead...and many, MANY MORE!

Television:

Firefly, Friends, Scrubs, Good Eats, X-Files, Ask This Old House, Great Hotels, The Office. Not that I get to watch any of these very often, but I like them.

Heroes:

Lloyd Dobler. Guys wanna be him, girls wanna...you know.

It's Sunday

My ass is unusually prone to falling asleep today, as, for that matter, is the rest of me. I have a cat who won't stop staring at me, wondering what I have better to do than devote ceaseless att...

G'day.

Today is Australia Day. Now, I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I am keenly aware of a burning need to hunt a kangaroo and throw it on the barbie. I was thinking later I might some...
