Coughlin's Law; Anything else is always something better

About Me

about me? two arms, two legs, one head, fairly standard stuff really. i enjoy the usual stuff- mudbaths, caged cock fighting, midget bowling, randomly doing the running man in public places, yelling FIRE in movie houses, passing out condoms at abortion clinics, denouncing racial profiling, locking my doors at a red light when driving in downtown miami, watching Fox News, and wondering who is in fact 'smarter than a 5th grader'. did i leave anything out?? ;)

My Interests

working. drumming. loving. drinking. sleeping. im sure i missed a few, but we get the idea, lol. to quote 'spinal tap'- 'have a good time, all the time'

I'd like to meet:

down to earth people, no south florida snobs (been there done that..if money is ur only calling...next!!) artists, movie buffs, musicians especially. Im way into music, play in a band, RED LIGHT DISTRICT, and just always enjoy people who share a connection to music and are passionate about it! I can say Im usually drawn to passionate people in general. oh and these guys...these guys ROCK!!! check'em out:

Music:

hmm..where to start...kinda all over, rock, r&b, hip-hop, alternative...anything with a beat that gets me has me hooked. I guess some all-time faves (or in mass rotation on my iPod): THE POLICE, BOB MARLEY, sublime, concrete blonde, ani difranco, green day, soul coughing, dave matthews (carter beouford is a god amongst men), system of a down, foo fighters, erikah badu, the roots, Pearl jam, beatles, red hot chilli peppers, elvis costello, damien rice, guster, jay-z, kanye west, oukast, live, garbage, portishead, living colour, fishbone, misc 80's and 90's alternative bands.

Movies:

great even harder list to come up with! faves: godfather (yes even part 3!), raging bull ('did u f*** my wife?), pulp fiction, this is spinal tap ('these go to eleven'), almost famous ('its all happening'), princess bride ('inconcievable!'), coming to america ('sexual chocolate!!'), say anything ('i gave her my heart, she gave me a pen'), reservoir dogs, heat, goodfellas, shrek (hey sue me!), usual suspects, a fish called wanda ('dont call me stupid'), JFK, wall street ('greed is good'), young frankenstein, dead poets society, traffic, dazed and confused ('theres a fiesta in tha makin as we speak'), clerks, do the right thing ('hey sal, why aint there no brothas up on the wall?'), fight club, boogie nights, get shorty, blade runner, braveheart, basketball diaries, trainspotting, wedding crashers, three amigos ('jefe, wat is a plethora?'

Television:

if i could just make a channel with nothing but sopranos, entourage, seinfeld, family guy, friends, old saturday night live, south park, chapelles show

Heroes:

I have had great influences in my life if thats what is required here. The word Heroes seems a bit too mythic or worshipful to me. My main influences would have to be my mom first and foremost for always being there and showing me what true strength is all about. Other influences range from friends to artist and random people i've encountered throughout my life. They all have helped in shaping what i am today, so for that i say..Thank you :)
