I am here for Friends

About Me

Alright, this is the 30th time I'm rewriting this, so we're just gonna go with this and hope for the very best...Let's see...I'm 30, employed, educated, reasonably intelligent, and been told I have a decent sense of humor. (It was my mom that said that, and I'm pretty sure that she has to say that or else I have some legal recourse, but it was still nice to hear.) I'm a Scorpio, for those who lend any credence to that. I am a smoker, but not a huge drinker. I tend to get my news from the BBC (dig the accents), the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, so my political views are generally moderate and more than a little cynical. Not really sure what else to say, except this: if you smiled at any time reading this, drop me a line. (Or as I overheard some teenage kid say: Holla at a 'playa'. Not sure why he wants to yell at a spanish beach, but it sounded good.)

My Interests

Reading (mostly books, but magazines, pamphlets and food labels are also interesting from time to time.) I started playing poker a few years ago, and enjoy the occasional friendly game.

I'd like to meet:

She or Her. Possibly You. (See Elvis Costello, Springsteen, et al.)

Music:

The Cure, Depeche mode, Springsteen, Nick Cave, James, Neil Diamond, Jack Johnson, U2, lots of late 70's - 80's, (those were my formative years, you know) pretty open to a lot of music with the exception of gangsta rap at 300 decibels, twangy country, and I don't think I'm cool enough for jazz, but other than that...

Movies:

The Crow, High Fidelity, Dumb & Dumber, Far Away So Close, Usual Suspects, Love Actually, Blade Runner, The Outsiders, Chasing Amy, pretty much anything with superheroes (I'm a bit of a closet geek...though I think I just outed myself.)

Television:

ALWAYS SUNNY!! (Watch this show!! If it gets cancelled, I will spend the rest of my days hunting all you non-watchers down.)The Simpsons, The Office, Scrubs, The Daily Show, Tough Crowd, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, CSI, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mythbusters, Sopranos, almost any nature program, particularly if it's on insects, which is ironic because I flagrantly loathe insects, and for some unknown reason, I must confess that I am fascinated to the point of addiction to MTV's Real World/Road Rules challenges. Not the actual shows, but the spin-offs where the teams compete in the Fear Factory type challenges. It's a painful embarassing dependency and I am seeking help.

Books:

John Irving, Stephen King, David Sedaris, Michael Moore, Clive Barker, Dalai Lama, Nick Hornby, John Sandford, love a good mystery or thriller...various philosophers, biographies of relevant people, i.e. James Joyce as opposed to 'Macho Man' Randy Savage's tell-all (though not without it's merits)
