About Me

Background from Google search result Holy shit...I'm a daddy!Ho-hum, where to begin. I'm a messload of interesting and appalling contradictions & oxymorons: pessimistic optimist, straight male w/a bi-curious twist, mercurial and forgiving, passionate and lazy. I'm originally from NYC, living now in Charlotte by way of 2 great years in Asheville, NC. I'm an artistic soul stuck in the everyday humdrum of 8-to-5 life. When I grow up, I want to be a starving novelist, but for now, I pay the bills selling my soul to the company store. I'd like to talk and/or meet people who at least share my interests in foreign films, the comedic works of Eddie Izzard, Margaret Cho, Mitch Hedberg, Patton Oswalt, Bill Hicks, and George Carlin, plotting the violent overthrow of the Bush military junta, football (the kind you kick, not the kind you throw), a hatred for all things Oprah/Dr. Phil...There's a lot of stupidity that pisses me off, but I still harbor faith in humanity. I could go on, but I'm likely to respond if you just say hello.

My Interests

Football and porno and books about war...

I'd like to meet:

Artistic, creative, non-conformist types. People who have unshakeable, unmovable passions for all things.

People who practice martial arts on oversized stuffed animals.
Or, if you like to break people down into labels: Republicans who hate George W. Bush, Democrats who hate Hillary Clinton, musicians who once gigged at bar mitzvahs, recovering sluts, professional philosophers, Suicide Girls, Suicide Boys (?), preachers, teachers, thugs, mugs, pugs, shitkickers, bootlickers, Pentacostals who handle snakes, moonshiners, people who haven't watched "Lost", trombonists, failed novelists, people who refer to soccer appropriately as "football", Toyota Prius drivers, and many more.

Fans of the movie "Weekend at Bernie's".
The person that will assassinate Ann Coulter
But not these kinds of people...
