I'd like to meet:


Interesting, introspective, damned funny people. I like knowing people who are well adjusted, know who they are and what they want. Also, if you can't use full sentences and spell out words like "you" and "are" then please move on. I'm a nerd. I like people who still know how to write a full sentence and at least try to spell things out.And I want to lick this man. Is that wrong?

Television:

I watch crap. There you have it. I tell the truth. Except for:

Books:

David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs, but honestly, I read in crazy spurts. Sometimes I can't get enough books read, and other times, I don't pick one up for awhile.

Heroes:

Well I looked my demons in the eyes,
laid bare my chest, said do your best, destroy me.
You see, I've been to hell and back so many times,
I must admit you kind of bore me.
There's a lot of things that can kill a man,
there's a lot of ways to die,
listen, some already did that walked beside me.
There's alot of things I don't understand,
Why so many people lie.
It's the hurt I hide inside that fuels the fire inside me.
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged.

Weird New Wonderful

I have come to realize that just when you think you know what life is going to offer you, guess what? You have no clue. I have no clue. Even with all the living I have done, I am a 'virgin'. And y...

I am in Love

with Juno. As if Michael Cera wasn't already held in high esteem by me, now he's reached epic awkward-and-utterly-adorable status. I want to adopt him. There. I've said it. Juno is incredibly d...

The Only Constant in the World is Change

I had a late night conversation a couple of days ago on the patio of a bar while it was raining and lightning. The subject was how amazing it is that you can love someone for a very long time and the...

Guten Abend, Gute Nacht

On Thursday night, my uncle brought me a recording of my father in a voice lesson from 1961. I held the disc in my hand and placed it in my laptop bag and it’s haunted me and burned a hole in b...

I’ve Turned The Corner

It seems that three straight nights of serious hard sleep for far more than the basic 7 hours has finally made me feel human again. That and a sweet new crush helps, it seems. Who knows what will co...

Addendum to previous blog entry

Several people had disappointed me in a weeks time so no one person should feel that I was directly aiming that at them. As my friends know, I'm a verbal vomiter... if it's on my mind I write or talk...
