I pretend I'm a writer sometimes, as much as I hate writers. Writers are some of the most obnoxious people you'll meet. They're vain, pretentious, self-absorbed. I think that's why a lot of writers fail, because they're only thinking about themselves and not people. That's who you really need to think about in order to write characters worth more than a pebble of shit. How can you write if the only person you understand is yourself?
I'm a news junkie. I inhale digg and google news is my black tar heroine. I love world newspapers. I shit current events. I eat C-SPAN for breakfast... with rice milk. I'm a political nut, but you won't hear me talk about it much unless you ask me. I take it seriously as much as I laugh at it. I have my passions, but I'm more interested in why people have their passions.
