My Interests

I know this creepy gay guy (not creepy because he's gay - just creepy because he wears orange corduroy and invites me to the spa on a daily basis).

Anywho, he sits here at this coffee shop where I spend a ridiculous amount of my adult existence and drones on and on about HIS interests. (In fact, he is doing it right now).

Subtlety not necessarily my strong suit, I typically find myself staring blankly into my computer screen and wishing for someone - anyone - to come and stab me in the ear with a Bic. Then again, the blood and brain matter would, most likely, cause him to wax pseudo-philosophical about some other inane anecdote from his miserable life.

My point? Does anyone really give a rats asshair about mine or anyone elses interests? Aren't we all just a bit too encrusted in our own psychic dogma to even notice that someone, somewhere, out there, may actually have a better story than our own?

I don't really believe any of that. This creepy gay guy just pisses me off.

I'd like to meet:

Mostly, I would like to meet the first guy that started the whole "I-must-look-cute-and-clever-in-my-profle-to-prove-to-people -I-don't-know-how-cute-and-clever-I-am" thing, and kick him squarely in the face.

Oh, and Lou Grant.

Music:

Not wanting to date myself (we still love each other but have agreed to see other people) I must admit that, being a child of the '80s, I have a certain propensity to still like some really bad - BAD music. It's not necessarily my FAVORITE but, let's just say, I don't go out of my way to change the channel when certain androgenously over-sprayed hair bands defile the air waves.

That said, my very favorite music - the stuff that, if but for a moment, erases my meager human existence and takes me to otherworldly planes of consciousness is the musical equivalent of Cirque de Soliel. I live for deep, dark, enveloping melodies rarely found in today's American "modern" music and have, to date, found no other band that does it better than....

Dead Can Dance.

Other contenders are Vast, Govinda, Delerium, and of course, a good daily dose of a Floyd fix.

There are others, but right now, I want to try to Hit The Monkey and win a free Xbox 360.

Television:

I don't watch a hell of a whole lot of TV, but it's safe to say that I probably enjoy most of the shows that fall on the DO NOT WATCH list on the Parents Television Counsel's website. Most notably: Family Guy, Arrested Development, 24, Nip/Tuck (guilty pleasure), and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I am also a fan of old Tom & Jerry and Loony Tunes.

Practically ALL television aimed at the 14-24 demographic makes me vomit just a little bit in my mouth and these so-called "reality" shows - and I mean ALL of them - will soon usher in the total annihilation of "humanity" as we know it... and deservedly so!

Books:

Currently reading:
- Prometheus Rising
- The Holographic Universe

Always enjoy:
- Christopher Moore
- Tom Robbins
- Kurt Vonnegut

I also dig anything about philosophy, religious deconstructionism, science, the mind/conscious, etc.

Heroes:

Don't believe in them.

Spiderman's kinda cool.
