My Interests

I like to eat, drink, smoke, write, shop thrift, dance, shroom, jerk off, go to shows and watch movies. I also enjoy intelligent conversations and long walks by the beach.

I'd like to meet:

Seriously, I know we all have our facades and images but those eventually become old and tired. I just want to meet some genuine people who don't take themselves too seriously yet at the same time can think about the bigger picture. I enjoy open individuals for there is way too much negativity suffocating our collective selves (and i am as guilty as everyone else). basically anyone who is friendly, inquisitive, and fun.

Music:

the strokes, radiohead, editors, interpol, cranberries, yeah yeah yeahs, jack johnson, albert hammond jr., metric, marley, oasis, portishead, blonde redhead, the killers, the cure, morrissey, the smiths, bloc party, broken social scene, depeche mode, sigur ros, cut city, vhs or beta, joy division, the beatles, cold war kids, OMD, elefant, bloc party, the dears, incubus, mono (both of them), at the drive in, stellastar*, the stills, yaz, white stripes, new order, kaiser chiefs, devotchka, arcade fire, simple minds, tv on the radio, cold war kids, nouvelle vague, sparta, cardigans, sade, hot hot heat, gorillaz, sleepy people, g. love, sublime, coldplay, beirut, the doors, cursive, air, echo and the bunnymen, beta band, bjork, dead 60's, louis XIV, she wants revenge, moving units, erasure, 311, shakira, emilie simon, tortoise, i don't know this is taking too much effort, the list goes on...i'm eclectic!

Movies:

I love independent film especially in a time such as this where the same big budget hollywood fluff is being regurgiatated over and over again. It is so refreshing to see filmmakers who have a dream and follow it through its conception regardless of budget and financial compensation. I also love foreign cinema for its beautifully crafted and visually layered complexities, the future of true filmmaking rests on both indi and foreign filmmakers. Some of my favorite directors are Godard, Bunuel, Linklater, Almodovar, Amenabar, Aronofsky, Nolan, Clark, Guest, Tarintino, Jeunet, Boyle, Kubrick, Solondz, Soderbergh, Lynch, Smith, and Anderson (both Wes and Paul) etc. I have and love too many movies to even attempt to list them, i guess i'll eventually try at a later time.

Television:

six feet under (even tho its ending...sob), twilight zone, reno 911, wonder showzen, def poetry, real time, debbie travis, simpsons, family guy, the daily show, design on a dime, futurama, curb your enthusiasm, dinner for five, anatomy of a scene, real sex, arrested development, taboo, in a fix, cops, andy milonakis (guilty pleasure, he's that annoying fat kid you hated in elementary school now with his own show.)...well i guess i watch more telly than i'd like to admit.

Books:

Wow, there is a shit load of valid reading material out there. I enjoy reading philosophy, sociology and modern literature. I don't want to start listing books but i have to give a shout out to Orwell and his profoundly realistic depiction of modern society in 1984.

grocery store etiquette

I will just come out and admit that I am not a big grocery store shopper. There are many reasons for this from the ridiculously washed out lighting, to the hoards of penny pinchers of society who mak...
