My style's fucking Posh like Dave Beckham

About Me


MySpace LayoutsWords to live by:Children are like TV sets. When they start acting weird, whack them across the head with a big rubber basketball shoe." -- Hunter S. ThompsonWe all like to think that we are unique and different from everyone else, and for the most part we are. Just rarely in interesting ways. So this is me: Funny; Intelligent; Unnecessarily inappropriate; Passionate; Fatally flawed; The best writer you've never heard of; Caring; Histrionic; Hopelessly romantic; Debilitatingly crass; Fearlessly cocky; Owner of a frighteningly fragile ego; Supremely confident; Terminally self-effacing; Fiercely opinionated; surprisingly diplomatic; Not traditionally good looking; undeniably appealing; quite probably not your type. Snakes & snails, sugar & spice.It's up to you if any of that is worth talking to.

My Interests

Alphabetizing, baseball, comic books, cunnilingus, dancers, erotica, film, good healthy debate, holding hands, India Ink, jokes, kissing for hours and hours for no reason other than to do it, laughing, little dogs, massages, nudity, oblivion, pinball, playing devils advocate, quiet time, reading, road trips to wherever sounds like a good idea, Sundays in bed, the feel of new socks, underwear optional situations, vagabonds, writing and unapologetically surrounding myself with people who think I should keep doing it, X-Men, yellow things, zeitgeist.

I'd like to meet:

People who read. People with passion for something. Anything. People who don't need to Google the name attached to the quote at the top of my "About me" section.

Music:

Killers; Strokes; White Stripes; Pixies; Yeah Yeah Yeah's; Nirvana; STP; Velvet Revolver; Dresden Dolls; Scissor Sisters; Eyes Last Glance; Flogging Molly; Joy Division; Ramones; Liz Phair; Ani Difranco; New Order; Eminem; Blur; Gorillaz; Cardigans; Verve Pipe; Flaming Lips; Cure; Cursive; Postal Service; Doves; Pretty Girls Make Graves; Incubus; Presidents of the USA; Sister Soleil; Beck; Someheroe.And I don't care what kind of music you do or don't like, the following names are above such petty arguments: Bowie. Costello. Bono. Cash. These men transcend mere generes with their music, and must be appreciated and loved by all. It's in the Magna Carta.

Movies:

All About Eve; Igby Goes Down; Run Lola Run; The Great Escape; Bullitt; Cool Hand Luke; Godfather; Reservoir Dogs; Kill Bill 1 & 2; Patton; Harvey; Raging Bull; Heat; Dog Day Afternoon; Cowboy Bebop; Spirited Away; I, Robot; Moulin Rouge; Say Anything; Long Gone; Rounders; Triumph of the Will; American Beauty; Hedwig and the Angry Inch; One Flew Over the Cucoo's Nest

Television:

Gray's Anatomy, The West Wing, Boston Legal, Top Chef, Buffy, 30 Rock, Heroes. I try not to watch TOO much television, but these shows make the cut.

Books:

I read voraciously. I have an affinity for reference books, and read them cover to cover. I have the Encyclopedia of Ships in my bathroom and the Ephram Katz Film Encyclopedia in the bag I take to work with me. Also, I have the worlds biggest crush on Sarah Vowell.

Heroes:

Anyone who doesn't allow the Angels of their Ambitions to be shouted down by the Devils of their Uncertainties.

What a difference a day makes...

So the span of 24 hours sees me go from sleeping in Couer D'Alene ("Sleep by the lake!"), to resting in Billings, Montana (on most nights you can't smell the refinery!).I didn't make as much distance ...

Marines and puppies: Violence Begats Violence

So for starters, if you haven't seen this video yet, I'd caution you before playing it.  It's not gory or visually arresting, but the simple act it depicts isn't a particularly happy one.  S...
