"Always think ahead but always stay in the moment. Reconcile this paradox and you'll not only get the girl, you might also get peace of mind."Yeah...I like...stuff? Let's see, I like food a great deal. Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Greek, and "Soul" would have to be my favourites. Wow, that's fucking fascinating. Umm...I like a good pair of jeans. Bootcut. Low waist. But relaxed fit, more room in the crotch that way. (ahem) What else? what else, what else...Music! Big fan of that. Used to fancy it as a major. But I guess that has it's own section on here. Drinking, I like to do that, but in a more social, restrained way than these online quizzes seem to be portraying me. That is of course if by "social" and "restrained" you mean, "angry and alone on a Monday night waiting for my Chinese food to get here with my t-shirt on backwards and my Levi's across the room."Aww fuck it. Go play with your blog.
You Are Las Vegas
Wild and uninhibited, you enjoy all of life's vices.
You're a total hedonist, especially with sex, gambling, and drinking.
You shine brightly every night, but you do the ultimate walk of shame each morning.
Famous Las Vegas residents: Wayne Newton, Howard Hughes, Penn & Teller, Siegfried & Roy, Mark Zabierek, Mike Zabierek, That chic from 24 Hour Fitness with the impossibly sweet ass that me and Tim used to scare...What American City Are You?
I used to live in Las Vegas, actually. According to my driver's license I still do. I've actually done quite a bit of travelling, but need to do a lot more before I'm done. I've lived or spent a good chunk of time in Boston, Cape Cod, Dallas, New Orleans, Las Vegas, and the Bay area (Petaluma baby). I lived in New Jersey for 8 weeks, but didn't see much besides rain and pain. I've been to Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Curacao, and my beloved Guantanamo Bay (home sweet home), and I stepped foot on Haitian soil. (Where's my money?!) Been very close to (I could see them) the real Cuba, Jamaica, Honduras, and Panama. Still haven't crossed the pond yet, I've got a feeling when I finally do I might not come back.
I'd like to meet:
Already met her. (what was her name?...)

Instead, your whole life is an homage to beer

Heroes:
Jack Kerouac. I have an unhealthy obsession with his life and work. I didn't really start getting into him until I started traveling and writing more. I realized I was doing a lot of the same things he did in a lot of the same places. I got so obsessed that I demanded I be born in the same neighborhood in the same city and from the same ethnic background as Jack. And then like him I joined a sea service. But unlike him I have yet to fake insanity to get out and pursue my individuality. Because who really needs all that sex, drugs and philosophical and spiritual experimentation stuff? Not this guy. Nope, that's for damn sure...Oh, and Ben and Jerry. Those guys have got a good little thing going on there.
