About Me

I moved from Chicago to LA in July...so I'm still trying to figure out this city. I work for the non-profit Habitat for Humanity/Americorps. I help build houses in the south LA area. I'll be working with them until August/September 2007 and then I'll either stay with Habitat at a closer location to me or another non-profit in the LA area. I'm big into social justice and all that liberal hippie "help the poor" crap. I like it when people talk about music, especially indie rock/punk rock. I get annoyed when people want to talk with me about the tv show "Friends" or how much like they like "Fallout Boy" or how President/Warlord George W. Bush is so awesome and anything else that sucks...

" Last time I was down South I walked into this restaurant and this white waitress came up to me and said, 'We don’t serve colored people here.' I said, 'That’s all right. I don’t eat colored people. Bring me a whole fried chicken.'
...About that time these three cousins come in, you know the ones I mean Klu, Kluck, and Klan, and they say: 'Boy, we're givin' you fair warnin'. Anything you do to that chicken, we're gonna do to you.' So I put down my knife and fork, I picked up that chicken and I kissed it. Then I said, 'Line up, Boys!' "
