About Me

I'm a smoker. I'm trying to quit... I used to drink a lot. I'm trying to quit... I'm not really sure about a lot of things, right now.
I'm in the process of centering myself. Or recentering myself? Something like that.
I really like to ride my motorcycle without my helmet. This cute girl I spend as much time with as I can doesn't like it. But she likes me so it all works out.
And I enjoy writing with Kelley. A lot. I miss her, actually... We wrote some good shit. Maybe after I center/recenter myself, we'll get back to it.
Lucid dreaming interests me, but I have yet to get anywhere near achieving it. Well, I guess I've gotten close, but I'm not a fuckin' master of the lucid dream. Yet...
Michael Jackson, Gordon Lightfoot, and Pat Benetar. We're like family.
Don't believe this girl,
She preaches mayhem.
She's the devils bitch and a liar
I want to see the look her in eyes
When her body parts ways with life!

My Interests

Music (experiencing it and creating it). Literature (sometimes experiencing it but always creating it).

I'd like to meet:

I don't know, really. If you're interested in checking out my goods, I'd suggest that you try before you buy as my goods may or may not be of an acceptable standard. A good way to test this theory is to get me drunk. REALLY drunk. Hell, I'll even LET you buy the drinks.

Music:


Movies:

Guns? Tattoos? Lightsabers? Explosions? Blood? Plot? More plot? A lot more plot? Witty dialogue?

That's the makings of the best movie ever. Especially the part about lightsabers...

Television:

Heroes.
The Black Donnely's.
The Sopranos.
Sportscenter.
HBO.
MTV.
That about covers it. And in moderation.

Books:

The Sandman Graphic Novel Series.

Just bought, and currently reading:

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

DMT: The Spirit Molecule

Heroes:

My dad. Because I'm everything good in him with the best parts being his worst qualities. And Adri. For teaching me that you can't trust anyone. And my mom. For teaching me that there is a very fine line between rationalization and sanity. And that you can't trust anyone. HA!
