The Dude

Cash Rules Everything Around Me.

About Me

I want to MacGuyver when I grow up. I like music, movies, the 80s, books, and old TV shows. I work a dead end job, and I kind of enjoy it. That's about it, I tend to hate everything else.

My Interests

Music. Movies. Books. Black Coffee. Booze. Cigarettes. Urban Decay. Existentialism. Old stuff. Tight T-shirts. Being skinny and sickly. Vegetarianism.

I'd like to meet:

To put clichés to rest, I do not want to meet any famous writers, artists, musicians or any other kind of public figure. One should never meet their heroes. They’ll most likely be disappointed.I do, however, want to meet a person who is capable of carrying a “Woody Allen” type conversation (like describing your self-esteem lower than Kafka's). Too bad most of those people are neurotic freaks like him, as well.

Music:

The Velvet Underground, Johnny Cash, The Clash, Miles Davis, Coltrane, Bowie, Wilco, Bloc Party, Neutral Milk Hotel, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Wu Tang Clan, Iggy Pop, Nick Drake, Elvis Costello, Dead Boys, Richard Hell and Voidoids and the holy Ramones. I also listen to other bands that you've never heard of. Everything else sucks... including your stupid band.

Movies:

The Life Aquatic. Raging Bull. The Departed. Goodfellas. Blue Velvet. The Seventh Seal. 12 Angry Men. Barfly. This is Spinal Tap. Anything by the Coen Brothers. Commando.

Television:

Very little. Mostly the news and the E! channel when I'm fiending for a cultural trainwreck... God, I'm boring.

Books:

Bukowski. Kerouac. Burroughs. Klosterman. Max Brooks. Kafka. Fante. Fante. Hemingway. Ginsberg... too many to list. Fuck off.
