About Me

i'm probably the fourth or fifth coolest guy you've ever met (just kidding, i'm totally the second or third)... Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

My Interests

architecture, philosophy, art, geography (geo dork- don't tell anyone), sociology, anything with an "ology" on the end of it... it's a total dorkfest; used to work towards Brad Pitt-dom in the gym but now i'm in school 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so sleep is of interest to me then pleading the fifth on the rest of my interests

Music:

isis, neurosis, tribes of neurot, cult of luna, my classic 3 (tool, older jane's addiction, aphex twin), trs-80, slaves/pleasure forever, flying saucer attack, older will oldham (palace, bonnie prince billy), slow dive, electric wizard, g 'n r ("appetite" and "lies" of course)...[droning stoner rock/doom rock, atmospheric guitar stuff, ambient electronica, classic psychedelic rock, anything i haven't heard before, maybe some classic eighties stuff, and some cheesier early nineties stuff i'm too embarrassed to admit to]

Movies:

"2001", "memento", "21 grams"/"amores perros" ( i love that guy), "gummo", "nowhere"/"doom generation" (i know greg araki's movies are cheesy but i don't apologize), plenty of art movies that are so intense that you can only watch them once otherwise you'd ball up in the corner of the room twitching for 3 days straight (kind of like "irreversible", feel-good movie of 2002), incredibly ridiculous parody/satire/mockumentary-like comedies such as: baseketball and orgazmo (mmm... that's right, i said it); scary movie 1,2, and 3; waiting for guffman; deuce bigalow; joe dirt; airplane; blazing saddles; zoolander; other stupid shit like the aforementioned but to be honest, i'll watch anything once (even chick flicks but that's a secret just between us)- in fact, my roommate rented "serenity" the other day and it was pretty damn good. oh, and some philosphical classics like "predator", "conan: the destroyer", and "total recall".

Television:

[adultswim] ("sealab 2021", "ATHF", "harvey birdman", etc.) "southpark", "the family guy"/"american dad", "futurama", "chapelle's show", anything on the science channel, "hometime" (discovery home), "the simpsons" is classic... you know on further review, i see that most of what i watch is animated which is weird in and of itself

Books:

stephenson's "snow crash", palahniuk's "survivor", frankl's "man's search for meaning", hickey's "air guitar", "the phaidon atlas of contempary world architecture" which is classified as a weapon in many states (the john holmes of books), "vitamin p: new perspectives in painting", any reference book on philosophy or sociology, books with pretty pictures of pretty things are nice too
