if you want it, gotta BLEED for it bay-bay.

About Me

posters drawing and such. pretty bland actually.

My Interests

Coffee, music, records, drawing, horror movies, 70's/80's action movies that are low budget but have lots of explosions and bad special effects, traveling, dreaming of not having to work a real job.

I'd like to meet:

cool people? isnt that why most people are here? i guess. i'd also like to meet the guy who makes the invention that allows us to hear what dogs and cats are saying. but since that hasnt been invented yet, it will probably be a while.oh, and a talking bologna sandwich.

Music:

Gang of Four, The Smiths, Air Guitar Magazine, The Afghan Whigs, The Soft Machine, Queen, Iron Maiden, Venom, Harry Nilsson, Boredoms, The Party of Helicopters, Grand Buffet, Jesus Lizard, Naked Raygun, Big Black, Shellac, Flaherty and Corsano, Bread, Zombi, Sparks, Gogogo Airheart, Morrissey, Animal Collective, John Zorn, Caravan, Aguaturbia, Dog Faced Hermans, Zounds, Modey Lemon, Supertramp, Swearing at Motorists, Ariel Pink, Boris, We're Wolves, Coachwhips, Nation of Ulysses, Dungen and a bunch of other stuff.

Movies:

anything with David Hess, Midnight Cowboy, The Big Lebowski (any Cohen brothers movie, but that one in particular,) any horror movie that has half a plot (ones with less than half a plot if they have great gore in them,) and most recently i enjoyed Hostel.

Television:

Anything on the Discovery Channel, as that is pretty much the only TV i watch. Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, It Takes a Thief, Cash Cab, etc. I will change the channel from Discovery only for Law and Order, Arrested Development, Family Guy, and any Rick Siebak documentary on PBS. Occasionally i will flip through in the hopes that The Greatest American Hero will be on. It never is.

Books:

More authors than books...Vonnegut is amazing, Brautigan, Alan Siltoe, and the new John Hodgman book.
