La Petite Marseillaise

Yeah. I don't really like talking about my flair.

About Me

My Interests

Probably anything that accelerates. If your last name starts with Ju and ends with an illard you're required to drive like you have an hour left to live. Everytime I go skiing give my parents a power point presentation about with it would be a great idea for me to quit my job and become a ski bum for the rest of my days. It hasnt been well recieved as of yet. Horseback riding is something I would love to do every day but barely get the chance any more - at least in France my tenure on my friends horse farm has gotten me a couple hours a day riding through the mountains by myself. Photography is one my favorite creative things to do. It makes me feel good when I walk into a friends place and see some of my work on their wall. I try to suround myself with people that make me laugh or smile. If you're not positive or at least negative in a funny way (ie Denis Leary/Lewis Black) then get in your corner.

I'd like to meet:

Monsieur Cantona. Although violent, he's half Corsican and born in Marseille like me, what more could you ask for. We could have angry dark haired children! Also, he clearly loves his mother - notice this photo of him drop kicking a soccer fan after he insulted my Eric's Maman. Not cool buddy!Sarkozy '08. Bring it.

Music:

Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, The Pixies, The Ramones Warren Zevon,The Clash, Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers, The Real Kids, The Flaming Lips, Dropkick murpheys, Devo (thanks Marjorie, I love them now) Lily Allen, AC/DC, Nelly Furtado, Stereo Totale, The Cars, Mighty Mighty Bostones, Bad Religion, Rancid, MXPX, Milo Jones, Joe Dassin, Carla Bruni

Movies:

If you haven't seen "Heat" we can't be friends. There are few more that sneak in there, One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest, The 25th Hour, Run Lola Run, Le Maginifique, The Professional, Leaving Las Vegas, The Beat my Heart Skipped, Goodfellas, Tommy Boy, A Bronx Tale, The Shawshank Redemption, Bullit, Giant, Chinatown,

Television:

Christ I can't even remember the last time I sat to do nothing but watch TV. I currently live with hippies who dont believe in paying for cable so it kind of narrows down my options. Sadly I do find the time to fit in America's Next Top Model ocaisionally. Once Rescue Me comes back on the air I'll be less ashamed of myself. I will also watch anything that involves stand up comedy. Make me laugh, bitch!

Books:

"To Kill a Mockingbord", "The Lords of Dicsipline", "Freakenomics"

Heroes:

Maman and Papa. Insert audience "awwwwwwww" here. Oh and also, they tend to quite resemble these two and are equally as cool. Je n'oublirai pas Monsieur Cantona et mes heros footballeurs de Marseille, Thierry Henry, Zinidine Zidane, fabien Barthez et Laurent Blanc. Oh. And of course, Mike Verville.
