I never met a carrot I didn't like... Except for this one!

About Me

the cactus where my heart should be
has lovely little flowers,
so though it's always pricking you,
your ardor never sours

the cactus where my heart once was
has power to rend and flay
you stick because you're stuck,
because you just can't tear yourself away

My Interests

Cans of anchovies and stuffy old songs about the buttocks.

I'd like to meet:

Whack Museum

Whack Attack! from Nathan Maas and Vimeo .

Music:

Don’t pale or pout, we’ll all pay twice for endless doubt.

Movies:

This business requires a certain amount of finesse.

Television:

So, did you catch last night's episode of Popular Reality Show? Yeah, no? You missed a good one, man, you missed a good one! They were kickin' people off left and right, and, like, some people got kicked on, and um, I mean, it was... you should've watched it. You definitely should've watched it. Should-'ve-watched it! I mean, they'll be talkin' about this one for a while. I mean, I'm going to be talkin' about this one for a while...

Books:

A story completely imagined but entirely true.

Heroes:

People that want to play board games instead of watching tv.
