Find substance in the world through philosophy, psychology, and/or any form of art. Or just find substances, period. Indulge occasionally in impulsive, self-destructive activities because there's no reason not to. Over-analyze and stare at things until they resemble a Dali painting, then have a cigarette. stumble around until I find the meaning of life, realize it's worthless, and die, all before I'm 27, hopefully... And oh, yeah, world peace.Here are some of my photographs:
Someone who'd:a) Leave me obscene messagesb) Pass my all-purpose "Pink Flamingos" litmus test (the trick is to have a sick sense of humor, not to actually get off on the depravity; just simple, primal human interest)c) Someone who is not only insanely intelligent and wildly entertaining, but with whom I can just shut the fuck up with for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence...Or just Harmony Korine... width="425" height="350" ....

My passion and one true love; should contain "copious amounts of blood & gore, sex, or drugs - hopefully all of the above with complete and utter disregard of any sense of morality - and preferably with subtitles". I love John Waters, Asian horror cinema a la "3...Extremes" and Miike in particular, Gregg Araki, Gaspar Noe, Michael Haneke, Stanley Kubrick, Harmony Korine, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Lukas Moodysson, Todd Solondz, Michel Gondry, George A. Romero and other miscellaneous shitty horror movies (although "The Exorcist" will always somehow fit in), Ingmar Bergman, Woody Allen, musicals having either to do with transsexuals or space westerns (see: McAbee), Martin Scorcese, camp (eg "Mommie Dearest") & cult (eg "Coffin Joe" series) & R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet", Kevin Smith, Roman Polanski, Pedro Almodovar, perverse French films (Catherine Berillat, etc.) and some French New Wave, and Bette Davis is my goddess. James Cagney, Lou Castel, and random others fit in there. Somewhere. Also, relating to the condition of indie movies as of late: Don Cheadle is the new Laura Linney.

I will marry this man
