About Me

The short film I recently worked on.What follows here is an account, not of who I am on the outside, but of the humor and perspective which is less readily apparent. I submit this to you then, not just with the hopes of providing insight into what this guy is all about, but for the sake of intimacy, and, above all, an appreciation for a male who is very gentle and only a little sarcastic.I like stories. Oh, and ducks. I tend to really like ducks. From a respectable distance though of course, as I'd rather shoot the bastards and cut off my trembling, dead hands down to bloody stumps before I let the filthy little syphilis junkies riddle me with their vile, infectious secretions. But yeah, from a distance, they are really quite lovely.Also, my other profile-http://www.myspace.com/theblackspotradio

My Interests

My niece, in a manner of speaking, reminds me of the little monkey from Family Guy, and the wonder I have in watching her grow earns her a cameo in large, Sprint-quality color.

I'd like to meet:

Strangers...No no, wait. There is more to that.I only tend to enjoy interesting people. Kind of an obvious thing right, but I will go ahead and qualify that. When I say "interesting" I am not speaking in the, "my, what an intersting character that horse-trainer was Diane," or "Such an interesting case Professor, do you think he'll ever play chess again?" Instead I am looking for someone who actually says things worth hearing, does things worth being around. This should not imply politics, dogmatic woman's issues, streaking, the history of native America, bouts with nymphomania, or "my last time leaving Jessie." Neither should it necessarily exclude these topics (facinating as they are). To put it more simply, go for what everyone wants: Talk to me about me, tell me how lovely my eyes are, disrobe a little, then impress me with your passion for 16th century Middle Eastern Arcitecture or whatever. I'll write here for proper spacing. A note: Clever people amaze me. That takes a lot of work. Also- people who know the difference between "Clever" and "Cleaver." It's a subtle change, yes, but, as Webster may confirm, the differences can sometimes be quite profound.A lot of the Friends are here: http://berkeley.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2006536&l=ca0 15&id=1222142

Music:

Thank you to Mr. Geoff Ereth Good friend, great singer, needs love and support. GeoffERETH.comor www.myspace.com/geoffereth

Movies:

Who are all you people who click on my profile but offer no report of its content? You can't quite get away with this. That little counter on the right, yeah, evey goddam day, it says 96,105,113...and so on. So who are you huh? One person? Ten people? Rise up and be recognized, counting is so dull.So the joke here is that this isn't real life. Yes, I'm actually this clever. Yes, those are my eyes (really, I'm flattered). Absolutely, I am just a goofy little lech. But seriously folks! For fuck's sake! We'll likely never meet and I do hope this leads to nothing, what then would we have to talk about at all those lovely bars.

Television:

Big one, couldn't help it. True story: Indian guys buy the best TVs and practically give them away on Craigslist. The devil, oh god how I love it though.

Books:

Own many. Even went out of my way to get a lovely bookshelf with some ungodly, unpronouncable name from Ikea. I couldn't help it; the off-gray coloring really goes the whole Pirate theme of my room though.

Heroes:

My father for smiling that day and building my mission and playing with the cat. My mother for always, completely being there. And the Byrd, for teaching me what it means to be a man, a man with so many jokes, a man whose face is the canvas to our humerous strokes. Speaking of strokes, well done Bryd.

"Flags of our Fathers"

I sat down today after a long afternoon of work and watched the movie "Flags of our Fathers." The movie arrived in my mailbox at least a week ago but I haven't wanted to watch it until now. The movie ...

Poor judgement and late

It's late and the few drinks which comprise what I tend to feel are a state of 'bad judgement' are doing every bit of their job.  The trouble right now is no clear goal and no clear directio...

Craps, a preaching

Oh Scott, I'll do more than teach you. I'll preach it.  Let me sell you on some highlights of why it is the best deal in vegas. 1, it's a team game, you're all pretty much betting together, so th...

Did Jim Crow make 'Slavery' out of Slavery?

I should start this thing with, to those who know me, a few obvious confessions. Firstly, I am hardly an expert in anything, and I rarely claim much in the way of understanding beyond a mastery in mu...

Jesus sadness

This is the saddest thing I have, well, not ever heard, but it's killing me.  I seem to be the sort of person who doesn't much care for sadness.  I mean, who is, but I mean, that I'm quite h...

Asked for Sincerity

I think people generally ask for sincerity.  Oh, not out in the open, not like you do for a phone number or age or where you like to go with your friends.  You ask for sincerity like you ask...

Never quite goodbye

Just a little note.  I've said it before, in many different ways.  I love you all, and I hope I've done what I had to so that this is merely a reminder of that.  Put your questions away...

"Bad-Friend" in need of Friends to be Bad to.

Something, I think, seems to have happened to all of my friends.  There have been many changes and revolutions of friendship.  Originally it was three or four boys, a group that was strong a...

Style, where to find it, how to get it, and why it's not really there.

I'll just start this off, and will have to, given my limited time here at the coffee shop, have to let such a start suffice for now.   After careful review of a number of profiles, including thos...

Loosing a piece of your soft-copy soul.

Sitting alone in a quiet cafe, my back sore and hunched from the cheap, street-corner couch that offers my best shot at comfort, Ive been online for the better part of three hours. What Im upset abou...
