About Me

I don't think there is enough space to put all there is to put about me. I'll keep it simple: I am egotistical, selfish, self-centered, and introverted. I care about me, myself, and I. I have time for many things, and yet I accomplish very little. I have not been around the world, but the world has been around me. There are many things I'd like to do, but I can't find the time to get them all done, so I opt out of doing any of them. If I were to be labeled the box would read: Fragile-Handle with Care. I have no special needs or interests. I am a small part in this thing we call life. If you take anything I say to heart, let it be this: I am a virtual whore.

My Interests

A lot of things spark interest in me, but few things have been able to keep me interested. I find I bore easily, so it is best to keep my mind going. But I did this survey thingy, and so that might help anyone who wants to understand a self-centered, narcassistic, pinhead.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can take me out the fog I live in. Someone who can hold their own without needing me to entertain them. Someone who is strong, yet sensitive. Somone who knows when I say I am tired, to let me rest. Someone who can take my sarcasim, and know that it is just a part of who I am. Someone who can take me places I've never been. Someone who will show me how to relax, and also be able to take me out on the town.

Music:

What is music? Where does one find this thing called music? My range is eclectic. I am comfortable with classical music when I am writing or just need to unwind. I like good ol' fashioned disco, when disco was disco. I am a David Bowie fanatic, and anything he has done or is currently working on I'm there. I've spawed off from him to Iggy Pop , and other bands he's worked with. I love Salsa, Spanish music, corridos, big band, swing, and some varieties of country. However, that being said I have a pure dislike for what is classified as smooth jazz, lawrence welk, and anything that has screaming in it.
on another note heard this new song from The King Flippers: check it out:

Movies:

I am not a movie buff. I think most movies are boring. They cost too much money to see, take up far too much time, and don't have scratch n' sniff screens. The smell of popcorn annoys me. Theaters are too big and filled with germs. They have also become a haven for any parent who can't find a baby sitter (when did it become ok to bring a six month old child into a horror flick?) Then there are those who can't seem to unattach themselves from that cell phone (you know who you are) thinking you're all important, like the president is going to call or something. I've got some terrible news for you: You're not that important, turn the f***g thing off in a theater. But back to movies: Anyway, I sure do love a good ol' fashion scare the shit out of me flick. Seen any lately? I like old movies from the golden age of film. I like art films, and I love foreign films. I like movies that make me think, not about myself so much, but really put my brain to the test. Seen any lately?–––––––––––––––on a more serious note again, here is what interests me: David Bowie films The Man Who Fell To Earth, The Hunger, Merry Chrstmas Mr. Lawerence, Absolute Beginners

Television:

*YAWN* although most television bores me, one show in particular aside from Sienfield , is a british comedy Absolutely Fabulous

Books:

Books, books and more books.. Give me something that is going to make me read. No romance novels here, you can take Fabio and (fill in the blank). I don't want some lame Murder She Wrote, or some silly old cowboy and Indian sort of thing either. I like something that will take me from the dull drums of life, and push my mind. I want something that is going to make me read it twice or maybe three times. I had a huge collection of books once, and before I moved I decided to donate them to the library. I was going to put something really sarcastic here, but I'll leave that for another time.–––––––okay on a more serious note here is what i like reading: Andre Breton , Frank O'Hara , Milan Kundera , Bertolt Brecht , Ernest Hemingway

Heroes:

Sctraching my ass here with this one. I had a hero once, but then I lost him, and have never been the same since.
