About Me

I blog sporadically. Take a look, but don't hold your breath waiting for the next installment, even if I claim it's coming soon.

My Interests

Reasonably obscure pop culture (tv, B-movies, unusual or vastly overlooked but cool rock bands and so on). Mostly a whole lot of useless crap.

I'd like to meet:

Some people, and maybe some good dogs. I like dogs.

Music:

mostly rock and roll.

Movies:

Fido (w/ Billy Connolly )- Joe vs. the Volcano - Dragnet - you know, the funny Tom Hanks movies. Then stuff like... Box of Moonlight (w/John Turturro and Sam Rockwell) - Career Opportunities (w/ Frank Whaley & Jennifer Connelly) - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (Sam Rockwell is COOL) - Eternal Sunshine (Charlie Kauffman Rocks) - the Fifth Element (Milla Jovovich should have my baby) - Fifty First Dates (Drew Barrymore too) - L.A. Story - Anything Farelly - almost anything PIXAR - tons of epic adventure films (YES, I dig Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia , etc.) - Shrek 1 and 2 - Stand by Me - 12 Monkeys - Goodfellas and Casino too. So many I can't think of them all now, thanks.

Television:

Simpsons - KING OF THE HILL - Family Guy - American Dad -Mythbusters - you know, stuff on channels like Discovery - A&E - the USA network like MONK - biography and SHARK WEEK (when it's not 3 year old reruns). Oh, and did I mention the LONE GUNMEN - BRIMSTONE - and Millenium too (all RIP)?

Books:

Currently: Look Homeward, Angel - by Thomas Wolfe , and An American Dream - by Norman Mailer . Typically, I love short stories (and some novels too) - quirky fiction or serious lit, a little Sci Fi and some little horror , D and D style Fantasy , mythology and the like... you know. I try to branch out and feed my brain with stuff sometimes. Some Faves include Joe R. Lansdale - Tom Robbins - Hunter S. Thompson - Kinky Friedman - Barry Wood - THEODORE STURGEON - and generally people like that.

Heroes:

My Dad - Philip Lynott - Hemingway - Kerouac - Hunter S. - Alice Cooper - Mark Twain and probably some others that aren't occurring to me at the moment.

a thoroughly ineffectual ode to a man you should wish to have known

For all intents and purposes, I should be in bed, fast asleep and getting ready for tonight's computer security class at BHCC, but instead I'm here, thinking and writing... thinking some more, and sta...

Boring garbage about news and stuff

Now, admittedly, I have not particularly been following all the shenanegans, fiascos, hijinks and foolishness that is American politics lately, but I was wondering if I was the only one who found some...

I am fucking tired. It is, after all, past my bedtime... even if it is only almost noon. I work nights, I sleep days. Sadly, there's not much time to rock & roll left in between. Regardl...
