About Me

I'm a loud, fat, obnoxious drunk... but despite this, a lot of people seem to like me. I fancy myself a fusion of nerd, jock and intellectual. That being said, most people that know me will just tell you that I'm a dumbass.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

----- ALIVE: Vince Coleman, Parker Posey, Andre Braugher, Julian Schnabel, Gary McCord and David Feherty, Story Musgrave, Sonny Barger, Brian Regan, Lou Reed, George Bush (both of 'em), Chuck Yeager, Robert Smigel, Iggy Pop, Gale Sayers, Alton Brown, John Swartzwelder, the guys and gals from "Mythbusters", Al Jean & Mike Reiss... and Martin Lawrence, so I could punch him in the face for all the cinematic tripe he's been responsible for over the years.----- DEAD: Roberto Clemente, Alexander the Great, Phil Hartman, Lorenzo de Medici, Louis Prima, Satchel Paige, Rita Hayworth, William Wallace, Herb Brooks, Vasily Kandinsky, Frank Sinatra, Hunter S. Thompson, Pericles, Andy Warhol, Ray Nitschke, Donna Reed, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Alexander Hamilton, Teddy Roosevelt, Robert Burns----- FICTIONAL: Groundskeeper Willie, Yoda, Tigger, Dionysus, Beavis, Herr Drosselmeyer, Prince Myshkin, Grimace

..."no one is so generous as he who has nothing to give". So, a couple of weeks ago I'm on the bus, heading into town to have my bikini zone tidied up, just like I do the first Tuesday of every warm, ...

Hollywood... you mock me.
