Zuker

I said something really profound the other night and now I can't remember what it was.

About Me

Dedicated musician, loving friend, silly drunk, mostly happy and up-standing human being. I like to have fun and be luxurious with food and drink. I am a loyal and generous friend and a gentleman with the mouth of a trucker. I'm somewhat uptight, often on-point and funny, never macho or hot-headed, and never dull. I am sarcastic, intelligent, and uninterested in how cool you are or how much your toys cost. I find it easy to talk with people from all places and walks of life. I have no tolerance for ignorance or denial. All I ask of a friend or lover is that they pay attention to the world, find the humor in it, and don't blame others for their own fuck-ups.Myspace Layouts

My Interests

I love making music, reading, writing, cooking, thinking critically, outdoorsy stuff, people watching, eating, laughing, and carrying on.
Check out the Onion.
I could not have been more proud of this goddamned Lasagne.

I'd like to meet:

People who make me laugh really hard, make me think, make good music, can have a civalized dissagreement about politics/religion, and foreign people.

Music:

Just to name a few:

Movies:

campy slasher films, classic comedy like "Airplane," anything by Wes Anderson, indie films but not that are so indie that they suck, I don't know I'm just kind of picky.

Television:

Daily Show, Colbert Report, South Park, Adult Swim in general, Jeopardy, MXC, I've grown a fondness for Scrubs, Cops, Dirty Jobs, and lately I've been hooked on shows about the morbidly obese or crazy tales from the ER.

Books:

I love books. The following is a list of the books I've enjoyed that I can remember off the top of my head:
Fast Food Nation- Eric Schlosser
Skepticism, Inc. -Bo Fowler
The World According to Garp -John Irving
Hocus Pocus- Kurt Vonnegut
Dress Your Family in Demin and Corduroy -David Sedaris
Animal Farm- George Orwell
Cat's Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut
Plainclothes Naked - Jerry Stahl
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
Player Piano - Kurt Vonnegut
A Dirty Job - Christopher Moore
Shopgirl - Steve Martin
I could go on for days.

Heroes:

People that stand for some shit, impact the lives of those around them in a positive way, stay on top of things, and have imaginative and rich senses of humor. Also, my parents, and Prince.

Paraphrase the e.e.c.

When the world decided to exist, it took in trillions of particles of gas, rock, metal, and dust and became something. When man became determined to destroy himself, he took all the let down...
