Remember that there isn't a piece of ass in this world worth over $50 (in 1977).

My Interests

Back in the U.S (albeit, a spontaneous decision). Getting my life together, forcing myself not to say "naschledanou!" when leaving a store. I'll be returning to EU soon enough, perhaps to add to my police-report collection.And yet, another reason to love Shel Silverstein...

I'd like to meet:

yippie(s)

Music:

What you'll find playing in my world: Aerosmith; Queen; GnR; System of a Down; Metallica; Otis Redding; Buju Banton; Marilyn Manson (an oldie but goodie); Motown Doo-Wop; Arlo Guthrie; Lynyrd Skynyrd; The Kinks; CCR; White Zombie; Mr. Bungle; Alice in Chains; Leonard Cohen.

Movies:

Oliver Stone, Tim Burton, Christopher Guest, Greg Araki...and cheesy 80's comedies (particularly starring Chevy Chase and/or Steve Martin) are ALWAYS a high-point. I've been known to have Rocky marathons. In my book, Freddie Krueger will always be the coolest, if not lamest (oh, those jokes!) killer around.I feel it necessary to add Arthur, Coming to America, The Witches and The Addams Family.

Television:

he cooks, and then he chills. awww yeah

Books:

Books that have had a significant impact on my life: Long Day's Journey into Night, Another Country, Post Office, Angels in America: Millenium Approaches, Woodstock Nation, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, All of Shirley Jackson's Short Stories (Lottery included), The Road to Wellville, American Psycho, Reviving Ophelia, Ask Alice, The Bible According to Einstein, Steal this Book, Tortilla Curtain, Children of the Flames (give me a Nazi nonfiction ANY DAY), Esio Trot, The BFG...

Heroes:

i've been on a kundera kick

My Blog

The President is working blue collar.

One of the main reasons of why there is such a national conflict going on in terms of who to endorse (as far as Presidential hopefuls go) is that America -- as a whole -- wants a President who both ex...

Putting the Middle-Man in Jail

Whatevs. I don’t find the blogging idea bad, actually. While there are many horrible, stupid blogs out there, it works two ways. The writer vents, and if ONE person actually gives a shit to read...

I’d LOVE for you to read this, but it’s a rant...eh...

This is really frustrating. I would appreciate any input into this matter, if anyone is in the same circumstance. I constantly find myself swinging between opposite ends of the pendulum, in regards to...

Things to consider? Or mock. Your choice.

Things to consider:1. Havana. And really, you know you want to say Goodbye to Castro and thank him for all that profit you made on those Cuban cigars you smuggled in from the DR for your drunk, wealth...

Post-transition; Pre-transition

All right, so fast-forward half a year since my last post. The greatest pleasure I receive in writing entries is the ability to read them and be brought back to that moment, whether it be a wonderful ...

A remembrance of such (compliments to the wine)

Well, well, it's been a while. Some of you I still speak to, others have dropped of the face of (my) earth. No bother. Four months in, I doubt many have stories of change or epiphanies have emerged, a...

The art of the ellipsis (...)

...Puttering my life away, one uneven cobblestone at a time. Fonzie and I are enjoying the Mala Strana digs. You'd be surprised how many parks surround the area -- and not landscaped parts, but protec...

What, you say you want a list of items I've lost since I've been here?Well, then.1. Camera (stolen after making bad choices and poor judgements)2. Camera charger (cause, y'know, why would you still a ...

Arrival.

Thanks to sleeping pills and red wine I have adjusted to the time difference -- I think I slept about 14 hours at the minimum. My studio apt is very nice with windows surrounding it that I consta...

Well, I WAS all packed...

I recieved a *friendly* letter from the NYS Commissioner of Jurors saying that, because I skipped out on two rounds of Jury Duty, my presence is *requested* so that I may argue my case. This requires ...
