I am here for Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

i'm a bull in a china shop.

My Interests

diehard pessimist seeking exuberant optimist to share half a glass of water.

Music:

lately its been lucero, dylan, CCR, glass and ashes, howlin wolf and of course HWM and tom waits. well, really just tom waits. have you heard debussey's "clair de lune"? its great to fall asleep to. i'm trying to swell my record collection.

Movies:

my brother says i hate everything. so does john. i personally don't think i'm that discerning. i will admit without shame that legends of the fall can make me cry. indiana jones and the kingdom of the craptacular skull sucked ass.

Television:

Braves Baseball.
Deadwood.
Sanford and Son.
Mr. Show with Bob and Dave.
The Riches.
Jericho.
Weeds.
The obvious adult cartoons everyone else in the world enjoys.
If you don't have the BBC, rent Man Stroke Woman.
The only current show I watch is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Besides DVD seasons of my favorite shows, fuck TV.
