i play a whole helluva lot of pinball. i write things. i hold my liquor like two men twice my size. i frequently describe baseball as delicious, in the same tone of voice fatkids talk about cake. i am the most dedicated smoker you could possibly meet. girls seem to like me. i am a staunch supporter of mass transit. wiffleball sundays. my vocabulary is so vast i have to curse a lot to be understood. i like girls in sundresses and cowboy boots. i am, by leaps and bounds, the black sheep of my sweet sourthern family. i am still a recovering womanizer. i have awesome belt buckles. i have had two guns pulled on me in anger, neither of which was whilst i was in the army. i dont need a sidekick, a partner perhaps, but no sidekicks. i am the sort of fella you want on yer team come zombie time. i dont believe that anyone (except my momma) is too good to get punched in the face. i brush my teeth in the shower. i would rather have no biscuits with my gravy than substandard biscuits. i drink a lot of whiskey. my sideburns are sharper than most peoples wit. i dont often lose at scrabble....... and things like this...

damn near anything by vonnegut or Tom robbins, most notably 'mother night' and 'still life with woodpecker'. i take my literature big and arbitrary, like 'the brothers karamozov' or 'infinite jest'. i take my bukowski like i take my whiskey, a whole fuckin' lot over a short period of time. and of course there is a hefty chunk of my brain well-seeped in robert jordan books.
my heroes have always been cowboys, but... people who can hold their liquor. people who handle their drugs as well they handle their kids. people who arent in the military. Miah Mabe. people who can distinguish between a daquari straw and the barrel of a shotgun. Richard Pryor. i like girls who rub my back. i like girls who dont smoke who will still make out with me. somewhere in the world there is a girl out there who would rather just stab me than hold a grudge when i commit some cataclysmic fuck-up (which is an inevitablity), i would like to buy this girl a drink.<
