i'm down with the indie rock (guided by voices, death cab, etc etc), some non-gay emo (as in appleseed cast and old sunny day real estate), 70's new wave and punk, old jazz, and your moms hairy ass crack. i played in bands forever, put out a few records and put some miles on a couple of vans, but i'm over all that. call me semi-retired. when the mood strikes (and only when the mood strikes), i write a bit. some poems perhaps, or music shit for a zine or two. sports-wise, i'm a huge chargers and padres fan. mainly, though, it's all about golf, racquetball, no-limit texas hold 'em, boozing it up and your moms hairy ass crack. let's see, what else? oh! i like sunsets on the beach, long walks hand in hand, and did i mention your moms hairy ass crack?
my as-yet-un-met soulmate (aside from being my muse) is intelligent, has short hair, cool specs, laughs a lot, challenges me, is heavily tattooed, artistic, well read, feminine yet wears chucks, knows good music from shit (regardless of genre), will never to draw to an inside straight, and has a great set of tits. bonus points for a small septum piercing and a little flower barrette. not that i'm picky or anything.
