not your typical LA blonde.
I do what I say, I say what I do
bazooka joe is my rock. i enjoy the occasional piece of bazooka joe, despite the fact that it sucks rocks. the thing is, as i sit here and rack the noodle, i come to a realization. as far back as i can remember (which admittedly, isn't as far as i should like) i've never fully enjoyed bazooka joe. the gum is practically a rock and by the time you begin to soften it, the flavor is lost effectively leaving you chewing cud. the comics, while i'm sure they're all gems in their own way (and probably one of history's most compelling stories if all combined into a graphic novel) pretty much suck a fraction less than the gum. as, well, sucky as the gum is i kinda like it and i can't quite put my finger on why but it is kinda nice knowing that no matter what happens, certain things will always kinda suck. i bazooka joe is my sucky rock of gibraltar.
*addendum*
the following useful information about bazooka joe was kindly donated by a randomly myspacer.
The name bazooka joe came from my great grandfather who's name, aptly, was Joe. When Joe died, my grandfather, also named Joe inherited the family business, taking up his birth right and becoming the new bazooka Joe. Back in the day, the characters depicted in the bazooka joe comics accompanying the gum were named val, jos, and mel. These names belong to my mother valerie, and my two aunts Melony an Joselyn. My uncle, also named Joe already represented. So this is the very abridged tale of three generations of bazooka joes. My grandfather, however sold off his piece of tops chewing gum to his brother in the 70's or 80's, who later sold it out of the family... big mistake... which arguably is why the comics now suck.
if and when i finally move to santa monica i would like to change my name to monica. now this may surprise those of you out there who know what i would like to actually change my name to, but i feel being named monica and living in santa monica would be a really good conversation starter. i think i would begin to loathe it after two days of random people questioning my sexuality but would stick with it because i'm too stubborn to change it twice.
i wanna have a korean daughter and name her noreen. that way people could mispronounce her name and call her norean the korean. i just have to figure out how to become korean myself. can you convert? i have met a black jew before, so i know something along those lines is possible. i'm sure i could but i don't know how sold on this idea i really am. maybe it is just another pipe dream. i could just adopt. those wacky asians can't give away baby girls away fast enough. i could do that...but it just wouldn't be the same. no. not the same at all.
who decided that trucker hats were so damn cool all of a sudden? even truckers are sitting back and saying hold on, even we don't like these damn things. i say if you have hair, flaunt it. if you are balding, shave it. if it is in patches due to some sort of radiation leak, try out a fohawk and hope that you develop some sort of super power to compensate.
if i did wear a hat, i would take it off to atlanta. congrats atlanta on being a city proud enough to stand up and say no. we are diverse enough by ourselves to be a city and not have a china town. as much fun as china towns are, they do lose their exotic appeal when one finds they are fairly universal.
Sometimes I feel like I need to stop living over here and start living over here. I suppose you would have to see where my hand is and where it is going to know what that means, but truth be told I don't even know sometimes. I'm a nutty guy with a hard outer shell and buttery goodness? Maybe I shoudn't be eating while I fill this out. im better than dirt! well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt...i cant compete with that stuff.
freakin essays! dont these bastards realize im in a hurry?these losers can kiss my shinny pink ass.
apostrophies are for losers!
grammar is only useful when you get to point out the faults of others, otherwise its just languages parsley.
parsley blows! why use an herb if its gonna just sit there and be all snobby next to the real food that acutally tastes good (hopefully) what fucker thought of growing this thing? and it probably didnt just spring up over night. oh no. somebody bred this thing through generation after generation of plant to finally cultivate this goddamn green sprig of useless crap. fine, that might not have happened. but who was the first chef to take this piece of grass, throw it on a filet-0-fish and call themselves a genius? and the fucking losers that thought it was such a good idea they simply must copy it! probably the same college professor douche-bag behind capers. when i typed that out it had spaces in good places, i swears it. crap, i really dont feel like rhyming tonight. i dont know how to end this. so

My Interests

.. width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" ..Walking (been doing that for 22 years now), talking (21 years and counting), and chewing gum (no idea how long).
I find the combination of the three to be the most extreme of the extreme sports. Movies, movies, MOVIES. Get the point? Music rules all else. I have too many DVD's and not enough time to watch them. I like walking my dog and cooking...regular people food, not my dog (but i do make a mean bowl of dog food).
Lemme know if there is anything else you think I should like.and i like to travel

I'd like to meet:

this fine ass lady .. width="425" height="350" ..I don't know. I can tell you who I don't want to meet. that bastard Tom. The balls on this guy. Just cuz he's the admin he thinks he's automatically got the right to call himself my friend? I don't even know you! it would be nice if i could find somebody who won't constantly ask me why i refuse to eat red meat or try and sneak some into my food. i may not know exactly why i stopped, but its been so long that your nagging isn't gonna make me suddenly want a steak. i think at some point in my life i would like to date a woman named yoko and stop hanging out with my close friends. with luck i can get into a fight and hear someone shout "we fine until yoko came along!"

also, people who dont just say YOU here. that was kinda funny for the first lazy profile i came across. now its just stupid. if you don't have anything to say leave it blank or just write a whole lotta nothing. you can see i took the second option. also, people who don't take stupid little pictures and for no reason call it "so emo." finally (i hope) you should just know that women named danielle and shana are gonna be tough sells. ya ya, a rose by any other name...but its just weird.

anybody who can lampoon themselves on futurama. i can strike al gore from my list. not that i wouldn't want to meet him. i can't wait until i do again. have you ever walked to a printer at work and thought, who is that guy and why does he look like a fat al gore? you try losing (technically) the presidential election and see if you don't find solice at the bottom of a tub of phish food.

mr. buttersworth. this guy not only had the guts to legally marry a bottle of syrup, but he gave it his damn name. the balls on this guy must be the size of a relatively new fiat. you sir, are a true american hero.

not mimes. i don't know why, but i just don't like them...and really, i shouldn't have anything against them as a people. are they a people? an organization? a series of artisans? if anything, they should be admired. not worshiped, but possibly admired. they are doing something they love, that i suppose can be considered an artform (not an olympic sport you guys, baby steps) but kinda artsy. what's more, they do it in a hositle land despite everyone's misgivings and well aimed bottles because they love it and hope that it could brighten the day of .4% of the population. they put their necks on the line, throw caution to the wind, and trap themselves in a fake box. god they're annoying. you know what. i take it back. death to the mimes.

Music:

Lets see how this would look alphabetically...aqualung, artic monkeys, audioslave, barenaked ladies, basement jaxx, beastie boys, billy idol, bloc party, blues traveler, bright eyes, calexico, cat stevens, chk chk chk, coldplay, dave matthews band, death cab for cutie, death in vegas, devandra banhart, dmx, dntel, eagles of death metal, eels, elbow, eminem, franz ferdinand, frou frou, george thorogood, green day, handsome boy modeling school, ike reilly assasination, interpol, jack johnson, jem, jimmy eat world, john mayer, kasabian, lambchop, lcd soundsystem, linkin park, luna, metric, modest mouse, mogwai, moltov, motion city soundtrack, nick cave, papas fritas, peaches, placebo, portishead, powder finger, prodigy, queens of the stoneage, rage against the machine, ray lamontagne, red hot chilli peppers, rob d, robbie williams, scissor sisters, social distortion, sons and daughters, soul coughing, soundtracks, spoon, starsailor, stuntrock, system of a down, tenacious d, the 5-6-7-8's, the arcade fire, the beatles, the bravery, the dandy warhols, the elected, the faint, the gorillaz, the hives, the kaiser chiefs, the kills, the killers, the littlest man band, the music, the postal service, the rapture, the shins, the strokes, the temporary thing, the thrills, tom waits, the vines, the walkmen, the wedding present, the white stripes, U2, violent femmes, zero 7 (i know this is out of order), and WEEZER. Emphasis on the last one, of course. there is much, much more there but my hands can only hold out for so long. wait, i coulda just listed a bunch instead of typing that out. or that. or that. i gotta stop before i do something i might regret (but knowing me i wont). Okay, just to clarify...all music is good in my ear's eyes EXCEPT for almost all country. There is something about that musicless inbred pointless "music" that angers me in my small intestine.

Movies:

ALL THINGS MOVIE (except the bad ones, of coures) dictate my life's path. I hate being hypocritical by not listing my top movies here (since, and this is a big secret, the movie section is one of the first things I look at) but I have so damn many and the top ones...well, I have to be able to expain myself when I list them.

Television:

I watch it. Its frequently just like background music, since I frequently listen to it when I'm doin' work, but ya, I have been known to watch it from time to time. What was the question? Oh...ya. I suppose that would include (but not be limited to) Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman, Sealab 2021, The Venture Brothers (see a pattern?), The Simpsons, Alias, Boston Legal, CSI, Chappelle's Show, South Park, ER, Gilmore Girls, Curb Your Enthusiam, Law & Order, Lost Monk, Mr. Show w. Bob and David, Scrubs, Seinfeld, The Daily Show, D Ali G Show, Deadwood, MI-5, Iron Chef, Nip/Tuck, The Shield, Real Time w. Bill Maher, Saturday Night Live, Rescue Me, Six Feet Under, The 4400, The Oblongs, Will & Grace, Gray's Anatomy, arrested development, bbc world news, colbert report MSTK3!!!...I really don't watch all that much television though (I swear) I just know what I like.

Books:

Ya, I can read them good. Tops are, keeping with nerd tradition, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Been wanting to ready everything by Chuck Palahniuk for a while but...damn all these nerdy books.
