People that point out absurdity. Free-Tibet activists. If you claim to actually *like* the train/bart or bus (yuck!) then you truly are an ass. I recently started taking the train to work - So my new interest is to meet the following: The cool man that yelled at the sick guy who clips his fingernails in public, the people that get really wrapped up in their bicycling lifestyle, the girl that appears to be a student but that never has any books or trapper keepers to prove it (I imagine that she is too smart to need such props), the Sopranos-man, Troll-girl no. 2, the band of rowdy bmx kids, the two guys that seemingly had long underarm hair transplanted onto their scalps and wear beanies to partially cover it up (I didn't personally come up with this discription, but it suits those dudes), the preppy kid that has a young identical intern to carry his notebook and take notes in case he gets a brilliant idea on the way to school and the Google engineers that have shirts that actually say, "Google Engineer." --- Together we can pull off the biggest heist in American history! I am tired of people that can't stop talking about themselves. i.e. I prefer humble people... I know, someone like that might be a little hard to find, living in the SF bay area and all. People that can scoff at or look beyond our existential reality... and people that don’t just sit around all day complaining about it. The intellectually curious. People who know at least two area codes in the bay area other than "415." People that don't simply churp the words of their favorite college professor and pass it off as knowledge... actually, perhaps some people that were never warped by a formal education in the first place. I need some new political friends (my current friends have pretty much censored me, and as you all know, censorship is downright unamerican!!!). Scarlett Johansson. Jami Gertz circa 1987. MechaGodzilla. Catholic girls. Library workers. Kung-fu masters. People that insist on being lazy on Sundays. A girl that won't make me feel like a meal ticket or a leashed companion. Someone who likes cooking (umm, with me that is...). People with cool names like "Jake," "Raquel," and "Billy." Marlon Brando if he were still alive. Outspoken asses. I am sick of those people at clubs who never wash their clothes. Frigid people need not apply. The person that originally asked this brilliant question, "If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do all the rest have to drown too?" The anorexic Olson twin... you know, the one that purposely swallowed a tapeworm.
Ride, Stone Roses, Morrissey, the Smiths, Lush, Ocean Blue, Slowdive, Interpol, Charlatans, Suede, BRMC, MBV, Chameleons, Explosions in the Sky, Beatles, Mogwai, the Postal Service, Film School, Love and Rockets, New Order, the Cure (late 70's), the Wedding Present, Bloc Party, the Raveonettes, Pernice Brothers, OMD, Depeche Mode... and of course the melodic voices in my head.
Cable Guy, Office Space, Rainman, Cabin Boy, Road Warrior, Star Wars (ep. 4-5-6), Rushmore, Weird Science (and all of the other "troubled-adolescent," "rich suburbanite vs. working class," "underdog-getting-the-girl-in-the-end," "rebel-wearing-a-trenchcoat," "slurpee-getting-dumped-on-your-head-at-the-mall," "foreign-exchange-student-falling-out-of-a-tree," "hot-short-haired-chick-playing-the-drums," "parents-forgetting-your-birthday," "pre-Home Alone"-John Hughes movies), the Royal Tenenbaums, Lost in Translation, the Professional, Shawshank Redemption, a River Runs Through It, the Shining, JFK, Mikee Darko, a Streetcar Named Desire, Clerks, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, Animal House, Caddyshack, Good Will Hunting, Requiem for a Dream, Stand By Me, Mommie Dearest, Unforgiven, the Good theBad and the Ugly, pretty much any western (I wish I lived back then... you know, when life was a lot more simple), Not Without My Daughter, Dances With Wolves, Bad Santa, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Groundhog Day and that's it. I have an appointment to check out this african guy. What african guy? Exactly... what african guy.
"I was watching Court TV and I found a loophole in your case. I'm gonna talk to the judge about a writ of Habeas Corpus. I'll put the SYSTEM on trial!" I know it would be EXTREMELY profound if I claimed not to own a TV... but I attribute everything I know to the glorious medium: Get a Life, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Kung Fu, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Mikee, 24-hour cable news... I like hearing people argue along political party lines. Please, no lame reality shows!!! (This includes bad singing, bad dancing, feats of strength, eating insects etc.) I do like cooking shows though.
