I am here for Friends

About Me

Adrian L. Acosta's "Sam Says Hi!"
I claim to be much more motivated than lately I am. I enjoy wasting Sunday afternoons watching the Food Network while lazily picking at a broccoli lunch special from the Chinese joint down the block.
You will notice I often recite obscure (and morose) song lyrics—usually right up until the point at which it becomes annoying, but I have been known to carry on entire conversations in such a manner.
I'm keeping Maf54 on my buddy list. For when he's done with rehab, you guys!.
At the top of my wish list right now is an iGallop . It’d be a good thing to have around the house as a conversation starter. And on slow Friday nights? You don't even have to go out because you have a motherfucking mechanical bull. Chip in and help warm my home with one of these, and I’ll be your friend for slightly longer than I would otherwise life.
I sometimes go to Trader Joe's just for Charles Shaw because I think that if I can't get a $3 bottle of merlot, the terrorists have won.
I agree with pretty much everything (It's) Happy Bunny has to say. Wise, that one.
I miss Diet Big Red (white trash), Taco Cabana and Bill Miller BBQ in Texas and Amoeba Music in Hollywood.
I don't think your kids are cute. Mostly they are just in my way.
Apologies, but I find this hilarious:
Married to the Sea

My Interests

wordplay, Randi Rhodes, being generally critical, iced coffee, spinning (round and round), a brisk jog, bad judgement + worse timing, a good folksy saying, live music, i like dancing at the disco, a fine brunch, a finer dim sum, wit (acerbic) and wisdom (disposable),Wonkette!, not-panflutes, tasty margaritas and chips 'n' salsa, *ahem*... C-SPAN (1 and 2, but not 3. no, not 3.), parenthetical asides, bacon fat, leftist tirades, my iPod not yours, pretentious and unpretentious movies, Rachael Ray, politics, Phil Hendrie, Food Network, making groundless and/or false claims, foods wrapped in bacon.

I'd like to meet:

Some really twisted sons-a-bitches (RTSBs). And boys with guitars.
Also, Marbles Harsgorve. AND retired congresswoman KATHERINE HARRIS! Immitators: don't waste my time.

And--if you can find him (or are him!)--the guy from the ad that only homos see on myspace. Hey Myspace Ad Guy, call me!
