Drink. Write.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Every single person ever. Please take a number.

Music:

When I get new music, regardless of what it is, I listen to it over and over and over for about three days, then never listen to it again.

Movies:

Animal House, Old School, Bachelor Party, The Wedding Crashers, Road Trip, 40 Year-Old Virgin, PCU... sensing a theme yet? Need I continue?

Television:

Beer Commercials.

Books:

"On the Road", "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas", just about anything combination of letters by Dave Barry or Tim Dorsey.

Heroes:

Whoever said this first: "Mom, Dad, I know you want me to be a doctor, but I think I can make some serious money playing the tuba."
