About Me

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.Not really...but it makes for an interesting story...and I have found that if it makes for a good story...then you should do it.

My Interests

Use secret mind power. Try to not think about penguins. Pretend I'm a robot. Watch TV and repeat everything said in Italian accent. Try and sound Welsh. Stare at the back of someone's head until they turn around...You know, typical guy stuff.I'm a seeker! I find I devote way too much time toward Film, Music and Books...It's my trinity!

I'd like to meet:

Past, Present, and Future Friends. I was here! and here!

Music:



My tastes are eclectic, eccentric and ecstatic (and any other "E" word you can come up with). It's not unusual to have an old soul tune rubbing shoulders w/ outlaw country, britpop, funk, rock, blues, jazz, hip hop and any other genre of sound on a "Mix". I find that I like many of the releases from these music labels: Matador, BBE, Blue Note, Chess, Daptone, Yep Roc, Merge, Motown, New West, Rhino, Stax, Stones Throw, Sub Pop, Lost Highway, Rough Trade, Trojan, and Ultra-Lounge.

Movies:

I'm a believer in that the director makes the film, so therefore I'll watch anything directed by: Hitchcock Jean Pierre-Melville Goddard Truffaut Akira Kurosawa Mario Bava Takashi Miike Michelangelo Antoniono Roman Polanski Orson Welles Dario Argento Guillermo Del Toro Quentin Tarantino Henri-Georges Clouzot Otto Preminger Christopher Nolan David Lynch Powell & Pressburger Federico Fellini Alejandro Jodorowsky Stanley Kubrick Park Chanwook Martin Scorsese Wes Anderson Jules Dassin Sergio LeoneI also love these film genres: Film Noir Foreign Film Horror Psychological Thrillers Hammer StudiosFavorite Movie of all-time (maybe): Cool Hand Luke

Television:

Don't really have any shows. I tend to channel surf way too much and forget what I was watching. I usually wait an absurd amount of time to get into a show and by that time, the "trendy" factor is done with. It makes for awkward water cooler talk: Me: "So I was watching this show called "X-Files" the other day...ever seen it?" You: "Yeah, like 15 years ago...weirdo!".

The most gripping sitcom since 1380.

The most gripping sitcom since 1380 is "The Black Adder" (1983) starring Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean, for those not in the know) as The Blackadder - Prince Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh. I was very impressed...

Luchino Visconti's "The Leopard" (Italian version)

Just recently viewed Luchino Visconti's The Leopard. It clocked in at a whopping 3 hrs and 5 min, but at no point did i feel bored throughout it all. The film stars the great Burt Lancaster, along wit...
