the middle name is out!

About Me

I called for a cab, they sent me a hearse.

My Interests

Stuff and things. Sometimes, I'm into stuffing things.

I'd like to meet:

Bill Hicks.

Music:

Sissy stuff. Crooked Fingers, Nick Drake, Stephen Malkmus, John Prine, Grandaddy, Iron & Wine. You know, shit to make the girls think you're deep. When I don't feel like waxing introspective, I generally rock out to Journey.

Movies:

Too many to list here. Just watched Big Fish and loved it. Say Anything is one of my favorites. Heavy Metal Parking Lot and Bad Taste are my movies of the month. I like old skate videos with friends on any given Tuesday night.

Television:

COPS, IRS Bust, Beat Down the Poor, Trailer Park Drug Bust and, of course, anything starring Shirley Hemphill

Books:

I usually read about 2/3 of a book and then start another. I've got shelves of started but not finished books. I enjoy Tom Robbins, Daniel Quinn and any political books. Just reread The Old Man and the Sea and found it to be quite wonderul. I just finished that DaVinci Code thing, too. Good page turner, but terrible writing. I'm anxious to read the new Tom Robbins, but I'm still working on Villa Incognito. Crossword Puzzles.

Heroes:

No heroes... we are all here to get this done.
