I am here for Friends

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who's got something to say...i like people who make me laugh; people who open my eyes to things that i'm not aware of and make me question my beliefs and challenge me to try new things; people who like beer, dive bars, live music, super sweet coffee and big floppy slices of pizza...you know, the finer things in life.

Music:

THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WAS MUSIC - Kurt Vonnegut ------------------------------------------------------------ -I don't like techno music. Outside of that pretty much anything is fair game: Swingin Utters, Social D, Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil, Bouncing Souls, Johnny Cash, the Old 97's, the Clash, the Ramones, Stiff Little Fingers, The Police, The Pietasters, The Specials, The Bodysnatchers, Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Rhett Miller, Elvis Costello, Limbeck, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, The Stones, The Animals, Bob Dylan, CCR, The Band, Tom Petty, Coldplay, Jack Johnson, The Skunks, Frank Sinatra, Dino, The Misfits, Hot Water Music, Ann Beretta, Jack Scott, Aretha Franklin, The Beatles, Lagwagon, Tiger Army, Rancid, Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Sage Francis, Minor Threat, Black Flag, The Descendents, ALL, Flogging Molly, Jackdaw, The Pogues, The Smiths, My Chemical Romance, Avail, Rise Against, Billy Idol, Stevie Wonder, Marah, Lost City Angels, Calexico...yadda, yadda, yadda.

Movies:

movies...yeah, i like movies...

Television:

the office is pretty funny...mostly sports or discovery channel...and the simpsons has taught me more than most college professors.

Books:

I love the beat writers (ginsberg, burroughs, kerouac, etc.), don delillo, thomas pynchon, herman melville, anthony burgess, john keats, william blake, ben franklin, charles bukowski, kurt vonnegut ...
