My Interests

Books:

Books confuse and frighten me. When you put that many words together it's obviously something to do with a communist/homosexual agenda. Books are only good for kindling.

Heroes:

Bill Hicks, Howard Hughes, Robert Crumb, Tool, Jim Norton, Todd Barry, David Brennan, Hannibal Lecter, Mr. Show, Kids in the Hall, Elvis (Presley, not Costello, but he's ok), Col. Kurtz, Dave Attell, Jimi Hendrix (his music and his drug intake), anyone who's every fallen down a well and survived, Rasputin, Gimli son of Gloin, Patrick Bateman, the guy who laid Danzig out with one punch, Grand Theft Auto, Calvin & Hobbes, people who use correct change, basset hounds, Canadians (overall), midgets who don't make a big deal over the fact that they're midgets, HAL 9000, UFO abductees, UFO abductors, guys on COPS who never give up the fight no matter the odds, things that grow on cow shit (must I spell it out?), David Cross, Patton Oswalt, waitresses that call me "honey" or "sugar" or better yet "honey sugar", Paris Hilton for dying someday sooner or later, people who realise "fuck" is indeed the best word in the English language, mid-level managers with cheerful attitudes, Amsterdam, any kind of bird that can talk, and, finally, Jesus, for giving me the confidence to wear sandals.

Life at 1.5x

A couple weeks ago, I settled me bum onto the couch to watch an episode of Oz. If you're unfamiliar with the show, it's a romantic comedy that aired on HBO. If you are familiar with it, then you know ...

If this doesn't make you laugh then you're dead inside...

I was at work the other night, waiting tables, in a rush and a shitty mood. It was one of those nights were everyone seems to be full of odd, annoying requests. "Can you ask the sushi chef to cut the...

A beach trip I could never afford but didn't have to

The time a tree stole my glasses and I almost killed this lady

Awhile ago I was out jogging around my neighborhood and I was getting tired and started to head back home. I was taking my usual route and there's this stretch of sidewalk with a row of trees growing ...
