I am here for Friends

About Me

I have no life. I work and I study and I procrastinate and then I work more. And yet somehow I always find the time to roll my own cigarettes. Also, I've been told that I act like a 60-year-old man. Maybe it's because I like fedoras. Or mabye it's because I read constantly. And I polish my shoes sometimes. And my hair is turning grey. Even my beard. And I'm infatuated with WWII history. Maybe I'm really a reincarnation of an Operation: Chicago paratrooper?

My Interests

Playing my Alesis Quadrasynth 6.1, computer gaming (DoD: Source, HL2, DOPEWARS), I Ching, rolling cigarettes, and beer. Really dark beer. Black even. Oh, and coffee. Black as well. Like my soul.

I'd like to meet:

Walter Carlos, before he got a sex change. Now she's just creepy. Also, Darth Vader. Just because you've got to admire a man who fell from grace, horribly maimed (or killed), the people he once loved, and finally repented on his death bed. I mean, come on! That's what America is all about! You blaze through life, trying to indulge your darkest desires, end up hurting the ones you really care about (or would really care about, if you weren't so tied up thinking about yourself), and repent on your death bed. Classic!

Music:

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me down to lie. Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by. With bright knives he releaseth my soul. He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places. He converteth me to lamb cutlets. For lo, he hath great power and great hunger. When cometh the day we lowly ones Through quiet reflection and great dedication Master the art of karate Lo, we shall rise up. And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

Movies:

All-time Favorite: Dr Strangelove but I love any good Kubrick film: Full Metal Jacket, The Shining, Barry Lyndon, Lolita, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, Paths of Glory...

Television:

I miss Alias. And Duckman. And MST3K. Sleeeeep!

Books:

More than I could name! Recently I finished Catch-22 for the nth time, Marathon Man, Lolita, Papillon, A Clockwork Orange, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (wow, those are all movies too), I've plowed my way through both Ulysses and The Warren Report, also The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, The Illuminatus Trilogy, Red Alert (the book which formed the basis for Dr Strangelove), Lord of the Rings, The Stand, Insomnia, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Oskar Schindler's Biography by David Crowe, IBM and the Holocaust, also a few different translations of the I Ching, and the Tao Te Ching. Oh, and crosswords. Do they count as books? I've actually finished whole crossword books. Am I an old man?

Heroes:

Henri Charriere. google it!
