My Interests

Treasure hunting and cruelty-free taxidermy.Picture taking.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can help me find my unifying theme. Or someone who is blind and has no hands. That way they wouldn't know what I look like and we could bond on a spiritual level. It would be like chat rooms back in the early 90s.

Music:

Johnny Cash Bob Dylan Against Me, Woody Guthrie Joanna Newsome Randell and the Adjusters, Lead Belly The Pogues Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds , crazy ass hippie shit about how fucked up war is and stuff, sea chanties, The Adicts, Tiger Army. Suicidal Tendancies. Death by Stereo. Toy Dolls. Violent Femmes. The Briggs and Angel City Outcasts. Sons of the Pioneers, The Stanley Brother and other sweet ass old-timey country/bluegrass before it got all stupid like it is now. I'm currently listening to a lot of Bright Eyes and have gone a little gay for Conor. For some reason, I (like many people) thought I hated Bright Eyes on principle before I ever heard a single song. If you think you hate Bright Eyes, you most likely haven't listened to any significant portion of it, or you have a tainted soul. Sorry.

Movies:

Crash, Apocalypse Now, Commando (one man killing the entire male population of a small country, you can't beat that), Taxi Driver, Kill Bill, Spooky Encounter (one of the greatest classic Kung Fu/zombie/comedy movies ever), Zoolander, anything with Steve Buscemi, Wet Hot American Summer, Sleepy Hollow, Buffalo 66, O Brother Where Art Thou?, Napoleon Dynamite, Gummo, High Fidelity, and the collectors edition of Showgirls. Any of the Mystery Science Theater 3000s. I Heart Huckabees. Every documentary ever made, even the terrible boring ones.

Television:

The Daily Show and Colbert. That is really all I need.

Books:

Johnny Cash's autobiography, "CASH", by Johnny Cash Bob Dylan's Chronicles "Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus" by Orson Scott Card was pretty damn good. Especially if you like history. Freakonomics was pretty sweet. A nice quick read filled with interesting and potentially offensive material. A Short History of Nearly Everything is a heavy read, but fascinating nonetheless. I'm trying to read the Bible from front to back like a novel, but pages and pages of who begat who is kind of slowing me down. So far, almost everything I know about the Bible has been covered in the first 14 pages, so I am curious as to what the remaining several hundred pages deal with. Ultra Marathon Man by Dean Karnazes is more uplifting than the Bible

Heroes:

My Dad has recently become my hero, after he started telling me all his stories about drugs and bar fights. It is interesting that he was able to raise such a pansy of a child.
David Cross for managing to get this on the side of a Starbucks cup: Chances are you are scared of fictions.
Chances are you are only fleetingly happy.
Chances are you know much less than you think you do.
Chances are you feel a little guilty.
Chances are you want people to lie to you.
Perhaps the answer lies on the side of your cup of coffee.
You are lost.-David Cross

Yogurt, Milk, Zydeco and Apathy

We are out of milk. So I had cereal in yogurt. Tastes good, but looks weird.I want to join a zydeco band and stop bathing. I want my time to be worthless, or maybe invaluable. I'd like to be a volunte...

Trip to Texas

Well, I just got back from Texas.  It was a pretty good time.  In 2 1/2 days we managed to do about 18 hours of fishing.  When you first get to the small towns in the south, you (assum...

And people think I'm joking when I say I live in a rough neighborhood

So it appears that there was a prefectly normal drive-by planned right near my house, but the police had to screw it up by witnessing it and then chasing the guys to my house. Then a battle went down ...

Punk Rock Bowling

This draws in the party crowd. Divebar was pretty fun, but I was a bit on the "sloppy" side. These young ladies were nice, but one of them tried to convince me I was gay and living a lie.  I w...

There's something about me...

There is something about me that makes people feel like I will judge them, and harshly.  Every so often, someone I know will tell me that they know I have some profound observation about their ch...

Midnight Ridazz - August 11, 2006

About 1,700 people on bikes.  Pretty fun.  Started at the fountain on Los Feliz. Then we all poured out onto the street, creating a traffic jam on the 5.  The first part of the route ...
