About Me

Thank god. I'm finally back.

My Interests

Politics, whiskey, beer, baseball, good music. Also, I'm very interested in preserving my own sanity. Some might not describe that as an 'interest' per se, but I think it's important to mention, given the circumstances.
You are a
Social Liberal
(80% permissive)

and an...
Economic Liberal
(27% permissive)

You are best described as a:

Strong Democrat

I'd like to meet:

People who enjoy a good happy hour as much as I do.

Music:

Neil Young, the Velvet Underground, Belly, the Fruit Bats, Cat Power, Nirvana, the Foo Fighters, Bob Dylan, Death Cab for Cuite, Cake, the Grateful Dead and a whole lot of other bands. In general hippie/geeky crap, especially that which is recommended/mailed to me by my friend Kate.

Movies:

Wonder Boys, Igby Goes Down, Ghostbusters, Bowfinger, Rushmore, Royal Tennenbaums, Anything with Bill Murray.

Television:

My real friends are on TV. They are always there for me, every week, without exception.

Books:

My favorites are Wonder Boys, Lamb, Bright Lights, Big City, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, the Lord of the Rings, A Prayer for Owen Meany and The Sun Also Rises. I like most literay novels featuring young male protagonists, especially those by Hemmingway and Irving. Also Tom Robbins, because he speaks to my inner-hippie.

Heroes:

Paul Wellstone.
