I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

You can ask me direct questions, and I will answer them, unless of course I don't want to. But I have nothing to hide.NOTHING.

My Interests

I am interested in everything, even things that suck. Life is too short to be a freak for just one thing.

I'd like to meet:

Myself in sixty years."You still look like crap."

Music:

I really do like most kinds of music.

Movies:

* Raising Arizona * Pulp Fiction * The Hudsucker Proxy * Goodfellas * Battle Royale * Kill Bill * Shaun Of The Dead * Napoleon Dynamite * Bend It Like Beckham * V For Vendetta * No Country For Old Men * Juno *Plenty more, of course...

Television:

Currently, The Simpsons, The Office, House, Prime Minister's Questions, Spongebob Squarepants, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Wire, King Of The Hill...And American Idol. Sue me.

Books:

Many, many, many...But you should read Catch-22 first. And check out God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens. You may also want to have a look at Orwell's 1984, or just read the fucking newspaper.

Heroes:

My parents, for sure. And although I love sports, and have played sports my entire life, nothing that has ever been done during a sporting event can be considered heroic. Save the word for the people who earn it.
