About Me

I'm a talented but embittered one trick wonder who was pressured into joining this community so that I could traverse other profiles of hip, "plugged in" people. Basically, it feels that we've all willingly gotten ourselves involved with profiling... so eventually we'll all get what we deserve in the end.

My Interests

Myself, as I'm completely self-absorbed. Jazz. Moroccan cuisine. Carmel, California. Shooting guns into the ocean while sailing. Criticizing things I know absolutely nothing about. Eavesdropping. Kicking in TV screens whenever a CBS sitcom is on. Upskirt videos of nuns.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who's good at tying knots.

Music:

I like to listen to everything except "High School Musical"

Movies:

"Ed Wood," "The Ipcress File," "The Wild Bunch," "L.A. Confidential," "The Last Remake of Beau Geste," "The Oscar," "Psycho," "Nosferatu," "A Night At The Opera," "Dirty Harry," "Ice Station Zebra," "The Outlaw Josey Wales," "To Kill A Mockingbird," "United 93" and "Munster Go Home."

Television:

"Get Smart!" "The Prisoner," "Profit," "Sleeper Cell" and most public access shows hosted by people who can't conjugate a verb.

Books:

I read far too much. I suffer from a mental disorder call literacy.

Heroes:

Mel Brooks, Marty Feldman, Oliver Hailey, Andy Kaufman and everyone who ever died trying.
