Shazam!

There is a time for strokin' it with the kitties.

About Me



Myspace Layouts and SO much more from WhateverLife.com! ♥
whateverlife.comI'm smarter than you. I'm not as smart as you are. I'm funnier than you. You are infinitely funnier than I am. I'm stronger than you. You are mind-bogglingly stronger than me. I'm happier than you. You smile more than I do.Either way, life is good. :)PS: Movie quotes are the new american creole. Look it up.

My Interests

Poker, psychology, sailing, physics, comedy, professional sports spectatorship, guitar, bass, writing, international politics, foreign languages, and a million other little things that I have neither the patience nor the space to list here.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who came from nothing. An infinitely friendly businessman who rose to the top and then walked away to seek a different brand of riches. Someone inspiring. Someone humble. Someone polite. Someone content with their life. Someone wise, yet light. Someone brilliant, yet humorous.

Music:

Yes please. There is not much that wouldn't go here, excepting of course boy bands and the occasional zydeco outfit.

Movies:

Comedies, always comedies. I've yet to understand the point of watching tragic films; there's enough sadness in the world as it is! There is always room, however, for the occasional drama and James Bond films(I'm a guy after all). Horror movies are an abomination of the film industry(ironic, no?)

Television:

No time! I'm never home! Sports are an absolute exception, though. And for the record, poker is not a sport, though it should become organized.

Books:

Predominantly non-fiction instructionals or biographies, but The Sun Also Rises, Don Quixote, High Fidelity, Still Life with Woodpecker, Siddartha, The Prophet, The Celestine Prophecy(surprisingly good even if slightly....esoteric), Tao Te Ching(a must read and re-read), Boy's Life, Once and Future King. I'll be reading some Ayn Rand in the future. I've heard good things. Also, the Gospel According to Biff was hilarious!

Heroes:

Big Papi, Curt Schilling.....basically the 2004 Red Sox! Warren Buffet, Howard Lederer, Roy Cooke, Tom Brady and Bill Belichik(suck it, Patriot haters!), Bill Murray, Steve Martin, Shatner, Van Wilder, Captain! Jack Sparrow and above all, my parents.

The Old Barber Pole

It was Sunday morning just after a shower and I was standing in the bathroom drying off the last drops of water. I gazed into the mirror and did not like what I saw; tufts of brown hair jutting out f...

Colts 20 Bears 17 It took me two weeks to write that.  I didn't want to do it.  At times I felt I couldn't do it.  Looking at it now, it seems so alien.  Unnatural.  Something...

William Carlos Williams Goes To New York

A long time ago, back in English class during my Sophomore year of high school, we were exposed to a short four verse poem by William Carlos Williams.  Sadly, I can't recall the poem, but wh...

Fridays Are My Fridays!

I was working in the bar Saturday night, watching the clock and waiting for what seemed like an eternity to pass before the boss finally called downstairs to tell us we could close up for the evening....

Failure to Launch: Matt McConnnehguayeuey's last stand?

Ok, let's get right to the guts of it. Not only did I go see 'Failure to Launch' tonight, I went to see it alone. Yes, I knew it was probably going to be a weakly written, poorly directed romantic com...

Quotent Quotables

I just finished watching "High Fidelity" for the millionth time.  If you haven't seen it, it's an outstanding film, and relevant to many different aspects of life.  I was disappointed it was...
