About Me


Pisces
You are a pioneer type and think most people are dickheads. You are quick to reprimand, impatient, and full of advice. You do nothing but piss-off everyone you come in contact with. You are a prick.

My Interests

Evolutionary Biology, Religous History, Modern Literature...

I also like crumbly old things, especially crumbly old books:

PLUS

The Stanley Cup Goalie Convention...except Patty #2...But he gets to be in the picture anyway because he has Marvin the Martian on his stick.

I also enjoy acting someone else's age and being contrary. I think I like it when other people are uncomfortable.

I'd like to meet:

Books:

Short Story: Toni Morrison's Sula.
Book: Borges' Ficciones
Best book quote ever: "That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write 'Fuck you' right under your nose." --Holden Caulfield
Currently pimping: Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime
Haddon's book is a murder mystery as told from the perspective of a high-functioning autistic child. Haddon has worked with autistic children for much of his professional life and the book is not only a fascinating insight into the inner-workings of the autistic mind; it's also just a well-told mystery.Do check it out. It's a quick--though certainly not facile--read.
As always, you Phillistines should also check out Italo Calvino's "If on a winter's night a traveler" You won't be straight in the head ever again...I mean, if you ever were.

Heroes:

Heros? So few. My mom (awwwww), Batman, The Calgary Flames streaker, Brian Rolston's slapshot...This guy for being utterly rad and completely dreamy, not to mention a pretty okay writer:

And this one for being a totally famous jerk...also did some writing:

Exerpt from a rough draft of a paper for the class from fucking hell.

A "real posse comitatus gal," and other confusing arrangements of old-timey words.

Napoleon reminded me of this, and I thought it was worthy of its own blog.According to the U.S. Supreme Court, the second amendment to the constitution does not grant individuals the right to own guns...

Will your house be a disaster when Jesus comes? Plus, an amendment to the letter project.

Better than cuffing him in the head; also better than blaming his behavior on "the system."

Was just poking around the internets.  With a ten-foot pole.I saw an abc video news story on Yahoo about a mother who made her 2nd-grade son stand out on the sidewalk holding an apology sign afte...

BLECH.

What can I say? I have virtually no desire to be writing this blog at all.  I have been spending more time at that other social networking place, and after watching the creeps mill around, draggi...

Cruise to help accident victims by driving by scene on Ducati motorcycle. Plus, I hate B. Burke

I am loathe to say I hate rich people, since it's not really the case.In fact, I hope to be one of them one day.I do, however, hate Tom Cruise.  Though there's certainly nothing exceptional about...

I wasnt going to vote for him, but after this endearing late-nite TV stunt, how can I not?

I already posted this in a bulletin, but if you are like I was up until about 3 minutes ago, your bulletin board is down below your friend updates because you are either too lazy or too stupid to move...
