About Me

I hate baseball caps. The people who wear them are usually assholes. White baseball caps are the worst. Some guys wore baseball caps to one of my parties and their house burned down. I shit you not. Other than that I'm pretty mellow. I think.
I have an unhealthy interest in large islands and their fauna. My three favorite islands are Madagascar, Borneo, and Spitsbergen, but not necessarily in that order.
I find Lobot to be generally underappreciated. Love him, ladies. Love him.
Once I wrote a short biography. It went like this:
At a very early age Josh was stricken with a positivity that the universe immediately began striving to erase. By the time he reached puberty, Josh was a bitter, cold, adorable tow-headed pimple factory, and the girls loved him. After high-school, he attended New College in Sarasota Florida and was able to graduate, fifteen years later, from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg (also Florida.) During those fifteen years Josh accumulated innumerable skills which help make him the interesting and amusing baby-eating scoundrel he is today. These skills include: kung-fu, rock and roll, video-game competency, and wit. He also knows a lot about stuff, as fifteen years of college tends to impart some small knowledge of the true nature of everything. Brian Nell is his best friend, and inordinate amounts of Josh's time and energy have been spent trying to kill the bastard. The addition of Melissa to the mix as a co-conspirator promises the impending fulfillment of this long-time goal. In closing, Josh thinks life is generally amusing and often stupid, but he does manage to enjoy himself from time to time.
Sometimes I hate almost everything. Except...
The fossa is the largest carnivore on Madagascar .
The fossa is cooler than you. It hates baseball caps and will attack them on sight. Fossa have been trained to hunt ducks. Ducks!
The clouded leopard is the largest carnivore on the mist-shrouded isle of Borneo .
It also is cooler than you. It experiences intense ambivalence in the presence of baseball caps. Because of its ungodly awesome pelt, it is being hunted to extinction. If you see some fucking lady wearing a clouded leopard fur, kick her in the tit until she dies. Long live Borneo!
The polar bear is the largest carnivore on Spitsbergen. Spitsbergen is part of Svalbard , a small group of islands far to the North which are of note primarily because of their exceptionally cool name. Polar bears are actually the largest land carnivores on the planet, motherfuckers.
A polar bear could eat you alive, so it doesn't really care if you think it's cool. They couldn't give a shit about baseball caps. Polar bears don't give a shit about anything. They just sit around, sipping whiskey, dreaming of the good old days when there was an icecap. Sigh. Polar bears.
This is a Red Panda .
These vicious bastards live not on an island, nor are they the largest carnivore anywhere, even the entire universe, but I bet a red panda could beat up a polar bear if it tried really, really hard. Red pandas have the strongest, most hateful reaction to baseball caps of any creature in existence on this hallowed planet. This is the result of eons of being hunted by a now extinct predator whose head closely resembled the nasty and stupid baseball caps of our modern era. I saw a red panda at the zoo use its ten-inch poisoned claws to reduce a man's head to a fine red mist just because the guy was thinking that maybe he might want to buy a baseball cap someday. I love red pandas and that is why I made up these facts about them.

My Interests

I like to go bowling. I read sci-fi. Videogames are fun. I teach kung fu and I make music. Frisbees are the best invention ever. I can probably kick through your head.

I'd like to meet:

If I meet anyone, they must not be retarded. This is essential.

Ladies, often I wonder why I even bother. Give it a shot, though, if you must. No Envys need apply.

No adds unless you introduce yourself or already know me or are astoundingly cool. You are probably not astoundingly cool, so introduce yourself.

It's always fun to go elsewhere.

Most of my friends are nuts with the photos, but Brigitte makes clothing for her dolls and takes them on photo shoots! Her blog is my favorite, hands down. Call me weird. She also has a STORE which is just too cute for words. Send her money.

What's that? Want to interrupt whatever it is I'm doing with your inane blather? Sounds great. Instant Message me if you must.

AIM=totorodocket

Hey, I love everybody (LIE!) but if you're gonna hit my comment space with a flier, make sure it's not one that fucks up my page, because I'll delete it.

Music:

My favorite band was Stars, but that last album was... eh. If you want to understand me you should probably lock yourself in your room for most of your teenage years and listen to New Model Army. I have the best taste in music. Everything I like, I like. It's amazing. So many times I've asked myself a question such as, "Do you like Imogen Heap?" or "Parlez-vous Sigur Ros?" and the answer was inevitably "No." or perhaps "Non." I hate that pussy shit. You will probably discover my awesome taste in music if you bother to become my friend. Right now I'm astounded by the magical power of Scandinavian music. Anyone else blown away by The Legends or Dungen or the Shout Out Louds or just about everything that blows out of those countries? Oh yes, and have you heard of Professor Genius? Anyhoo, I strongly recommend that you fall in love with me and listen to everything I like.

I'm in a band !

Movies:

I watch bad movies and review them for another site. You can find links to the reviews hidden throughout this profile and my blogs, you obsessive freak! I tend to like anything with Reiko Ike, which means I like a lot of Japanese exploitation movies from the seventies. I made Dan watch them with me. It drove him mad. I actually haven't written a review in a while, because Atlanta actually has stuff to do on Friday nights.

I love Star Wars. I can't help it. I just do! I own a lightsaber. Vroo vroo vroo vroom!

Television:

No sir, I don't like it, but I will watch the DAILY SHOW if you threaten to break my arm, or maybe a pencil. Okay, you don't have to threaten me. I'll watch it.

On occasion I have been known to watch Battlestar Galactica while eating meat. AWESOME!

Books:

Infinite Jest, by David Foster Wallace, helped save my life. When I'm not reading Sci-fi I'm reading Florida Crime Fiction a la Carl Hiassen and Tim Dorsey. Sometimes I read textbooks, but even I think that's weird. I've read the History of Civilization by William Durant. All eleven volumes. It's cool. I'm a DORK!

Heroes:

My grandpa is the coolest guy in the history of the world and he could kick your grandpa's ass! That's my hero. So shut up.

Reiko Ike:

She's hot.

Scott Pilgrim:

Awesome! ..
