About Me

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." ..

My Interests

..

You Are Big Black Boots!
You can be best described as: attitude
You've got lots of it - and you love to give it
A guy has to be pretty gusty to hit on you
But if he's your type, you'll warm up... a little What Kind of Shoe Are You?

I'd like to meet:

"I look at that dot and I think that's here, that's home, that's us. On that dot everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human-being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joy and suffering thousands of confident and mutually exclusive religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, every hopeful child, every inventor and explorer, every revered teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam" Recent reviews by Samantha H. What's this?

Music:

Sleater-Kinney, The New Pornographers, RHCP, Kayne West, Deltron 3030, Radiohead, Nellie McKay, Franz Ferdinand, The Shins, The Postal Service, Patti Smith, Nina Simone, No Doubt, Puffy Ami Yumi, Barry White, Violent Femmes, Beatles, Pat Benatar, Outkast, Wyclef Jean, Wilco, and X-ray Spex. Deep in my heart I am a 70s punk rocker who appreciates the hits of the 80s and anything with a shake-that-ass beat. Good music is sexy.

Movies:

Better Off Dead, The Big Lebowski, The Forty-year-old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet, Amelie, Snatch, Dr. Zhivago, Say Anything, Lilo and Stitch, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Newsies. If you diss newsies i'll hunt you down and step on you.

Television:

The Office, Arrested Development, Entourage, the Simpsons, Veronica Mars, HEROES

Books:

I have OCD when it comes to buying books. I have about 8 million books on my to-read list, though I swear I will eventually get around to them. My favorites, to name a few are...Lolita, Ada or Ardor, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, The World According to Garp, Cat's Cradle, Brain Mapping the Methods, Of Human Bondage, Harry Potter (!), the BFG


You're Love in the Time of Cholera!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the one hand, you've loved the same person your whole life, but on the other, your actions barely speak to this fact. Whatever you do, stick to bottled water. The other stuff could get you killed.
