Downtown Rockin' Electro Shocking

About Me

That which does not rock, rocks not. All appearances of impropriety are strictly promotionalCreative, sarcastic, optimistic. I believe strongly in freedom of the mind, body and soul... built in need to travel

My Interests

tube amps are very important, sushi, taking lots'o pictures, pizzabeersex, fire, rollerblading at high speeds, design, jumping off things, hockey, inventing words, kayaking, hiking, cooking, travel, remembering forgotten languages, stuff and things, for without things and stuff, there would be nuff.

I'd like to meet:

an 8 core 45nm process mac next fall... those who rock the party... and gots their funk in place... dreamers who actualize... creatives... allnighters... writers who can't spell... artists who can... ha! those who do not suck, suck not.

Movies:

Really dumb commedies. DAVID LYNCH RULES, Super Troopers, Brazil, City of Lost Children, The Big Blue, Betty Blue, The Professional, Nikita, Blazing Saddles, Spinal Tap, Lost Highway, Dune, Being John Malkovich, Anchorman, Fritz the Cat, Napoleon Dynamite, Rushmore, Repo Man, Royal Tennenbaums, Bottle Rocket, Donnie Darko, Batman Begins etc. Caddy Shack is truly inspirational in these times because there are a bunch of pig-fucking judge smails types running around in charge of the government and all... and if you think the stereotype that he represents does not exist... then you did not grow up, go to school or summer with these self-righteous, greedy pig-fuckers. Now on the other hand, Chevy Chase has the same chin as my deceased father... who used to give me advice much as Chevy's character in this fine piece of Cinema... so every time I watch this movie,Danny.SEE your future BE your futureMAKE. make it. make it.. make it Danny, (just don't ever call me Danny or I'll spank you silly.)

Television:

I am very dissapointed by television. I like That 70's show, Reno 911, South Park, The Young Ones, Dave Chapelle Show and other quality television shows, but cannot believe that FOX has made "legitimate" people like Bill O'Reilly, that dumb assclown from AJ. You have to be fucking kidding me.

Catcher in the Rye, V, Crying of Lot 69, Soul on Ice, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, all Hunter S. Thompson books, Charles Bukowski, Kurt Vonnegut, Norman Mailer, Jay Mcinerny, Marc Leyner, Terry Southern, James Joyce, Tom Stoppard, Bernard Shaw, Peter Nichols, Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, Hemmingway, JP.
