I am here for Friends

About Me

I am not interested in making any dating service videos. Who I am and what I do really don't matter much, in the grand scheme of things. And the possibility remains that everything that follows, everything within, is a lie.If that's too heavy, then let's just say I'm a dweebus and call it good.

My Interests

Bear trap juggling. Four-square hustling. Books. Music. Video Games. Writing, but not very well. Humor. Staying awake. Going to sleep after staying awake. Wasting time.

I'd like to meet:

My anti-matter self. Then we could shake hands and explode.

Music:

Lots. Lots and lots and lots. But of course, everyone says that, and immediately turns the radio station when they hear something they don't like. Which, incidentally, is quite often. But I do like lots, as relative and meaningless a term as that is. Even stuff with accordions in it. Don't know about the zither, though. Jury's still out on that one.

Movies:

Odd. Funny. Odd/funny or funny/odd. A good drama, maybe, if I'm in the mood. It is difficult to say what in particular I do or do not like. Try this example:High Fidelity is extremely over-rated. Best John Cusack movie? Better Off Dead.Or, alternately:The Coen Brothers are excellent. The Farrelly Brothers are mediocre at best. The Wachowski Brothers have jumped the shark.

Television:

Sucks for the most part. Conan and Jon rule the late evenings, The Office and sometimes still the Simpsons earlier. If it's British, it stands a better chance. Especially if it features either Ricky Gervais or Dylan Moran or is set aboard a gigantic red spaceship.

Books:

See: Movies. Same rule applies, only with authors and books. Satire is a pretty good bet, though.

Heroes:

People without names who do good things. Or sandwiches. Or people who do good things namelessly and then eat a sandwich.

Rocky Goddamn IV

Tonight, via the criminally underrated Vs. cable network, I had the immense pleasure of reminding myself how much better Rocky Goddamn IV is than every other Rocky movie, or for that matter, just abou...

Cataracts

When Thom woke up this morning he could not see. He tried opening his eyes but that didn't help. All around him was blackness and emptiness.He groped around the end table, which was where he'd left it...

Things I Need to Say Before I Die, Part One

In my idle time (which could probably be better spent), I've started compiling a list of phrases from books and films and music that I particularly enjoy, and would like, at some point in my life, to ...

Dickheads

If it's true that everything comes in threes--like celebrity deaths and broken jukeboxes--then I have yet to conclude my Week of Dickheads. Which could be unfortunate but, as I hope you'll agree, migh...

Three Chubby Guys Named Aaron

Aaron 1 has been chubby ever since he was young. He came out of the womb chubby, as most babies do, in that slimy, baby-fat way of theirs. His mother fed him formula that made him balloon, and his fat...

Obligations

I haven't done this blogging thing for about a month, but like any devoted disciple of stupidity I'm back at it. I can't really explain why, because it's not like I missed talking to nobody about myse...

City Life

Just so you know, you're not some kind of hero.Heroes, by and large, don't drive down to Olympia after work for impromptu barbecues. They don't sit around drinking and eating buffalo burgers while sil...

Undone

I left my toes somewhere in the car. I had them with me when I got in, I know that, because my shoes fit nice and snug like they normally do. And during the ride I didn't notice them coming off, but s...
