About Me


Likes: Oliver; his momma.

Dislikes: Chumps. Also, suckers.

Why I decided to join 2003 and start a MySpace page: I am excellent at losing touch with people I care about. I'm serious. I am extremely good at it. It comes quite naturally to me, really. I barely have to work at it. But alas, this skill does have its downside. Eventually one runs out of people to not keep in touch with. Then one gets sad. So, rather than sulk and/or binge drink, I figured I'd try to reconnect with friends of months and years past right here on the MySpace. If you or someone you know is one of these said friends, please get in touch. I promise I'll respond and we can resume our friendship in the manner most befitting this forum -- by posting "thanks for the add" and/or hilariously wacky videos on eachothers respective comments pages.

"...and caught up in the surging crest of a rising wave of a bold new dawn of a bright new awakening, we took to the streets." The best sentence I've read all day.  I love The Onion. ...

Feeling like you aren't getting enough advertising in your day? Not to worry. As the New York Times reports today, 2007 will be "the year that advertising breaks out worldwide" . Yes. That's righ...

The week in books: public spheres, Derrida's junk, and where do the leftists go after Paris?

Because I get to spend the next couple of years getting paid to read books and blab about them to other rediculously privileged people, I figure I should share some of that conversation with my frien...
