low and high brow humor. denim jackets, eye-liner, bass amps and bubble gum. comic books. strategy board games. other people's children. starwars toys. Science, space and dinosaurs. bonzai trees. issues social, economic and others of significant meaning and with requirements for intelligent concern. Pez dispensers, pirate and iconoclastic memorabilia. I play video games. I drink damn good coffee. I eat avocados with everything. Everything. I spend mad cash on comic books. I talk to my folks at least once a day. I talk about Joss Whedon at least once a day. I sing songs about my cats...loudly. I work at a martial arts school, so I'm interested in kicking ass.
This geek:
the clash, strike anywhere, joy division, ramones, Discount, Murder City Devils, Pixies, elvis costello, mozart, dead prez, sonic youth, the coup, Billie Holliday, T-Rex, David Bowie, Pretenders, Son of Nun, Crimson Spectre, the Karloffs, buzzcocks, Guitar Wolf, Detroit Cobras, Alkaline Trio (because it reminds me of my youth) specials, Johnny Cash, As Friends Rust, Social D, shitty pop music If I know the words.
80's movies remembered for their power-ballad soundtracks, ...movies with the word "Dead" in the title, be it coupled with 'evil', 'dawn' or 'day'. I like Black Christmas(original), and most other horror films, as long as they aren't affiliated with Rob Zombie or Paris Hilton. Movies I can watch at the Drafthouse.
Arrested Development. Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Curb yr. enthusiasm. Season One Twin Peaks. I miss the cable glory of Kids in the Hall, the State and Freaks and Geeks. Damn you, HBO...you cancel everything that makes me whole.
One day I will read as much as Matthew. Reading now: Black Liberation and Socialism, Haymarket Press.
my dead dog. the people.
