About Me

I'm crude, annoying, irreverent and quite possibly the nicest person you'll ever meet.I don't get it either.Want more?Ask.Also, me smrt.

My Interests

Balance and joy.

I'd like to meet:

The love of my life OR a string of really hot, slutty chicks. Not that it will do me any good, as they will immediately begin confiding in me, but them's the breaks.....

Crush this person!

Music:

All of it.Seriously, I tend to jump across genres and attack whatever is "good". Keep in mind that the definition of "good" is left solely to my discretion. There is a reason I have way too much Bloodhound Gang and Phunk Junkeez in my iPod, nestled in with Jeff Buckley, Urge Overkill, Johnny Cash and Daft Punk. Literally, everything is fair game.

Movies:

The most complete movie of all time, to me, is "The Princess Bride". It has a little bit of everything without having too much of anything. I'll always love cheesy action, all levels of comedy and anything that makes me think. I'm a realist with escapist tendencies, so if something is well done, it will click. If not, I'll probably watch it if only for the opportunity to make fun of it's flaws.

Television:

All of it.

Books:

All things Nick Hornby. I like Salinger, but think "Franny and Zooey" is better than "Catcher in the Rye". Vonnegut started something and Dave Eggers thinks he finished it, but unless something happens in the last few pages of "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius", I'm writing him off as a hack. The controversial Brad Vice wrote a book, it got pulped and he got reamed, but it was good. It also sells for more than $500 on Amazon now. Go figure.Oh, and toss in some Lao Tsu, some Sun Tzu, some Confuscius and a heaping of Kahlil Gibrhan. Add some DeBecker for fear and boil until stew is ready.And cheap fiction. I love cheap, throwaway fiction- crappy fantasy(Stackpole, RR Martin), sci-fi (Crichton when he's good), mysteries (especially the Hiassen kind) and just about anything else printed...

My Blog

Squinty... heh.

You might not know this, but I hit things. It's mostly sparring or drilling related to my Kung Fu habit, but I'm not bad at it. Last night, I was helping one of my roommates go through some combinatio...

A Tale in Which Nothing Happens...

On the list of things I want to change about myself, my implicit link between my ablity to write and my abilty to mope would be pretty high up there. It might top "Chronic Flatulence" and "Constant Ne...

Dear Tatsuya Ishida,

Your comic Sinfest is good. Really good. Now, though, I fear you have transcended "good" and gone to "creepy". Please, get the eff out my brain, and leave my internal arguments on the inside.Really,J...

Dear Diary,

Today was brilliant until just before the end. I had an awesome lunch with a friend from out of town, did some good Kung Fu, and had dinner with four people that reaffirm my faith in humanity.Then, I ...

I ramble.

What you were about to get, dear reader, was the long promised post on God and religion. However, there is this saying about plans, Mice and Men, and ganging aglay that has been elevated from "quote" ...

When I am more than me...

Saturday night was interesting. See, I'm kind of awesome. Not in a trivial way- in a "holy crap, people who work with me thinks I'm pretty damn good at what I do" kind of way. This confidence is no...

Ah, angst, how I've missed ye!

I have been wracking my brain trying to spell out, in the most eloquent way possible, how horribly you have mistreated me thus far. Sadly, all I can manage is "Fuck you, Triskadekawhatever!" Today beg...
