Yippie-Ki-Yo-Whassup?

About Me

Still searching, but with more purpose. I try to take in all the good stuff every chance I get. Then, somehow, make it better. It's two steps forward and one back, 'cause that's life. But at least I'm making progress and some friends along the way. And that's my low-blood sugar, where-the-heck's-my-coffee philosophical meandering for the day.

My Interests

Music, poetry, art, good television, bad television, sports, strategy games, park benches, hot coffee, cats & dogs, sleeping in.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who says what they think and plays how they feel.

Music:

My band, The Billy Boys. Otherwise, how about Gram Parsons, Wilco, Radiohead, REM, Beck, The Beatles, Lucinda Williams, The Killer B's (Beethoven, Bach - not so much Brahms), little Mozart, Verdi, Brian Wilson, Cole Porter, and the Chinese guy who plays a single string instrument near the Powell Street cable car turnaround.

Movies:

Spinal Tap, Harold & Maude, Withnail & I...basically any movie with an ampersand.

Television:

Stewie on The Family Guy. Very astute observations of life by a genius infant who, for no reason whatsoever, wants to kill his mom. Maybe he'll grow out of it...

Books:

Check out Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. (But not if you're prone to depression.) Or George Orwell's view of the Spanish Civil War in Homage to Catalonia. Anything by Steinbeck. Most things by Vonnegut. Nothing by Steele.

Heroes:

Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Spider Man, Batman, The Tick.
