My Interests

Not hanging on MySpace.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with something important and meaningful to say.

Music:

Counting Crows. All Brit-rock from late 80's on (Depeche to Kasabian). Derek Webb and all in that circle. Pete Yorn and many other singer/songwriters. Sexy music like Over The Rhine. Emotional music like Sigur Ros. My dad was in a southern gospel band, so they weren't bad.

Movies:

Eternal Sunshine. Seven. Fight Club. David Gale. If it has a comic book dude/dudette or someone remotely connected to Saturday Night Live in it, I never want to see it, so don't ask me...

Television:

Lost. American Idol. 24 is brilliant television.

Books:

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is the single best book I have ever read.

Heroes:

are overrated. Tell the truth. Tell it well. You're my hero.
