About Me

True Fact: I am the reincarnation of Jim Morrison. (It's just in THIS LIFE I'm more of the fat, dead in the bath tub Jim Morrison, because apparently I have a lot to atone for... like exposing myself in Miami and marrying that witch... just to name a few.) Another True Fact: A lot of people don't believe I'm the reincarnation of Jim Morrison. (which is fine. just never say I never told ya. cuz I did.)

My Interests

Comedy, Presidents who lie to go to war, Walks on the Beach, Candle Light Dinners, Mind-Altering-Shamanistic Drug Experiences, Being Right about the War... you know, the USUAL.

Movies:

Did you realize when you watched it the movie PREDATOR, that PREDATOR is the MOST POLITICLALY IMPORTANT MOVIE EVER MADE??!! That's right. Forget about "All the President's Men," "The Candidate" or "Wag the Dog"... because PREDATOR is the only movie that has not one, but TWO(!) AMERICAN GOVERNORS in the cast -- GOVERNOR JESSE VENTURA (Minnesota!) and GOVERNOR ARNOLD SCHWEZENEGGER (California!). Holy shit! What a movie. What an impact... and maybe you're thinking what I'm thinking: HOW DID CARL WEATHERS NOT BECOME A GOVERNOR??? I mean, Hey -- Carl Weathers is in PREDATOR... not only that Carl Wearther is APOLLO CREED, the master of disaster, in the Rocky movies! Which means we wore RED, WHITE and BLUE! Which means HE DIED FIGHITNG DRAGO THE RUSSIAN FOR YOU, AMERICA! FOR YOU!! AND YOU SAY HE'S NOT FIT ENOUGH TO BE A GOVERNOR OF SOME STUPID STATE LIKE JESSE VENTURA? WHY? BECAUSE HE'S BLACK?! FUCK YOU, RACIST AMERICA!! APOLLO CREED FOR GOVERNOR! APOLLO CREED FOR GOVERNOR!!!! APOLLO CREED FOR GOVERNOR!!!!

Television:

I deal television. I don't use.

Books:

"IMMORTALITY" and "UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING" by Milan Kundera.

Heroes:
