About Me

I don't know what's sweeter: schadenfreude, moral outrage, or bacon. I love them all. I love smart people. I have contempt for ignorance, which unavoidably means I'm self-loathing - but I conceal it cleverly beneath a haughty ego. I'm an under-achiever and an over-indulger. Entitlement is my arch-nemesis. Procrastination, my foil. Hidden agendas are for cowards and conservatives. Honesty, integrity, and intelligence are grails for which I quest. I am the lovingest misanthrope you'll ever never want to meet.

My Interests

Beer, Computer Gaming, Screenwriting, Headbanging, Monkeys, Bacon, Photoshop, Cars, Sci-Fi, Shopping, and Belching (see Beer).

I'd like to meet:

The gorilla of my dreams.

I like metal, old school rap, old funk and blaxploitation tunes, trip-hop, ambient, big band, classical, punk, industrial, hardcore, smooth jazz, and musical scores to films -- to name a few. If you want to irritate me, play reggae or modern country/western at me. If you want to really irritate me, play Carly Simon or James Taylor. If you want your stereo smashed beyond recognition, play some Jimmy Buffet.
