Shapes and c o l o r s
I'd like to meet:
This ever-expanding clusterfuck that I call a "friends list" is the result of time spent toiling way in the salt mines of myspace searching for those worthy to joining my holy crusade. That being said, I don't really know just what we'll be crusading for yet. Ask again tomorrow.
Honestly, I'm not very good establishing a set of standards concerning the people I tend to surround myself with. Hillbillies, space mutants, seedy drunks, degenerate musicians, Taiwanese tattooists, net admins, cartoonists, hairdressers, Yakuza thugs, shrimp boat captains, blackjack dealers, medicine men, subway prophets, record store employees, Nicaraguan guerilla insurgents, tractor drivers, generous pharmacists, Guitar Center bag-checkers, people who don't mind my tendency to write my profile in the third person...The field is more or less wide open.
Just be you, the rest will work itself out.
Music:
I could list my musical proclivities here, but I'll keep that to myself for now for the sake of myspace's margins. I've spent the last 10 years or so of my life as an insurgent within the music industry, and have become rather comfortable with the fact that it will more or less play a vital role in my existence for the rest of my natural life.
I tend to collect bands on myspace. Some you may know, some you may not, but they are all deserving of your attention. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Movies:
I've seen a shitload of movies, but a select few special films have managed to destroy me on levels unknown to human emotion. These films include Primer, Waking Life, Pi, Memento, Brazil, 2001, Baraka, The Shawshank Redemption, Akira, Heat, L.A. Confidential, High Fidelity, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Traffic, SLC Punk, and 24 Hour Party People.
Television:
I watch Iron Chef and Mythbusters. The greatest achievements of television programming. EVER.
Books:
I derive the purest of sexual pleasure from the written word. I whore my time to a variety of authors, poets, scribes, lyricists, ranters, ravers, and mentally unbalanced degenerates who find a pen and paper.
I prefer the works of Old Kingdom Chinese philosophers such as Mencius, Lao Tzu, and Confucius, but I'll read just about anything. Except Tom Clancy.
Heroes:
Frank Lloyd Wright, Li Qui Gong, Chomsky (as in Noam), Nader, Kandisnky, Saul Bass, Herb Lubalin, Howard Bloom, Walter Gropius, Charlie Mingus, Pontiac, Aristotle, Paul Rand, Coach Landgraf, Cochise, my grandfather...and Dobbs, praise Dobbs.
