I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

About Me

Corporate lackey by trade, but writer by vocation. A lover of most all things film, and working to make trade and vocation more concurrent. Occasional poker player, board game afficianado, amateur chef.When it comes to respect, I can give every bit as good as I can get, but that doesn't keep me from staying touch with my more impetuous instincts when the mood strikes me.

My Interests

Film, cooking, good food and wine, music, reading, writing, art, conversation, sports of all sorts. Someone who's equally comfortable dressing up for a nice night out, or staying in, cooking together, and curling up on the sofa with a DVD.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who's single, passionate about movies, and in tune with the outside world. Someone who takes pleasure in having a good discussion back and forth over whether Casablanca or Citizen Kane is the greatest movie ever, and pride in making good argument in the name of their position. Looking for someone who will challenge me intellectually, is open to the potential for a new relationship, and should things gel long term, the commitment and family that comes with that eventually, if the cards fall right.

Music:

Modest Mouse, NIN, The Bad Plus, Scott H. Biram, Beck, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Blue Man Group, The Art of Noise, The Beatles, Brian Setzer, Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Keb' Mo', Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel

Movies:

Oh lord, too many to count. Some of the all time favorites: Casablanca, The Godfather I & II, Jaws, Hard Candy, Se7en, Fight Club, The Triplets of Belleville, Dog Day Afternoon, Dr. Strangelove, 2001. I also like some trash/b-movie, cheesy stuff. Black Sheep is a hoot, Big Trouble in Little China, The Rock, Eight Legged Freaks (yes I paid to see that one). You name it, if I've not seen it, I may be interested in giving it a spin.

Television:

I actually don't watch any tube at all. On the rare occasions when I check it out, I mostly watch sports. I do love Good Eats on Food TV and have enjoyed Sopranos and Six Feet Under when I've seen the odd episode. Oh, and Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network.

Books:

Chuck Palahniuk rocks with the fury of a thousand suns. Also enjoy Douglas Coupland, some early Stephen King. Enjoy some non-fiction too. Kitchen Confidential was interesting, and Positively Fifth Street is engaging stuff. Also like a number of Al Franken's books.
