He has sex with other women, but he makes love to me.

About Me

FailureBot 5

If "syphilis" wasn't associated with a metabolically crippled, gram-negative spirochaete bacterium, wouldn't it be a good name for a girl?

When you mix equal parts Celine Dion, Creed, and Dave Mathews, you can see God.

My Interests

Coffee shops, breakfast houses, and Dive Bars.

Skateboarding and bike rides.

Blue LEDs and any elecronic device using blue LEDs.

Programming and robotics ( www.micahcarrick.com ).

GTK+ Programming ( GTK+ Forum )

The GERD.

People watching.

Reading US Weekly while shitting until my legs fall asleep.

Bugs.

I'd like to meet:

Johnny 5. Asimo. Kismet. Bender. A Roomba with a heart of gold.

Anybody who owns (and shares) a roller racer or pogo ball.

That girl I "went out with" for a week in junior high but never actually met. We're going to get married I just know it.

An octopus.

Music:

Indie/Emo so that I can use the agnony of my heartache as an excuse for my unemployment, lack of ambition, drinking problems, and shitty band.

Classical so that I can feel intellectual (though I can't spell obviously) and elite. You wouldn't get it. You're too dumb.

Jazz because all the white dudes who like jazz get mad amounts of middle age pussy.

80's Pop in honor of a time when we didn't all want to strangle Corey Feldman.

70's Hits because nobody makes fun of you for that.

Classic Rock because it's my only option in half the bars in the country.

90's Rap because it reminds me of a time when Snoop didn't say "izzle" after everything.

Hip Hop so that I don't have to lie about how lame I really am.

Techno because--No, I won't even joke about that. Techno is crap. Period.

Blues because Bruce Willis made Die Hard.

Folk to remind me of the days before music was destroyed by rock'n'roll electric gee-tar bull shit!

Rock 'n Roll so that I have something to shout out of the window of my '78 pickup.

Modern Country because it's stupid.

Metal because that's what Satan always makes me listen to when he's driving. Hey--maybe Satan's a woman? Or black? We've never really touched on that have we?

Boy Bands are totally hot. Y'know?

and... Your Band You guys are really good. No, seriously. It's like-- I don't know-- you can't even constrain it to a genre because it's it's own thing y'know man? It's like, this art with a life of it's own. No, fuckin' A man, you guys are totally going to make it--not that it's about that or anything. It's just such a unique sound. Wanna fuck?

Movies:

All of 'em except for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Take that everyone!

Television:

If I had TV...
Daily Show/Colbert Report
Fucking discovery/science channel bitch! Myth Busters, Dirty Jobs, Man vs. Wild, etc.
