Don Cheadle, Don Cheadle's films, drinking soda, being startled by people's Myspace songs, going to ballgames and eating $12 hot dogs, wondering aloud what's the matter with Jeff Kent then being informed he's a bum, hanging on Anderson Cooper's every word, writing, dissecting the psyches of Top Chef contestants, reading Missed Connections on Craigslist, coercing unsuspecting victims into losing to me at Monopoly, sending drunken text messages, dancing in ridiculously high heels and regretting it for 3 days then doing it again, going to bed really early, trying to get into the minds of seniors and housewives, pretending I was a childhood bowling prodigy, defending Alex Smith's honor, making up crazy nicknames for the world's best people (Frank Gore and Matt Cain), singing annoying songs over and over so they get stuck in my sister's head, wandering around the Sparks Marina like a transient, finding ways to work the word "hobo" into most of my sentences, talking about love and the lack thereof, pretending I know how to cook once a month, strongly disliking Steve Finley, sledding while wearing funny hats, trying to find the seedy underbelly everywhere I go, and Patrick Dempsey's bravery.
This random guy, because I like his mustache:I'd also like to meet Pablo Feliz, who dwarfs Pedro Feliz in talent.
The Barry Bonds Experience is the greatest band ever, bigger than Jesus. Other than that I like The Smashing Pumpkins, Fiona Apple, Weezer, The Killers, The Flaming Lips, The White Stripes, The Postal Service, any band beginning in The, Prince, Beastie Boys, Rufus Wainwright, Ryan Adams, Ben Harper, Cat Power, etc. Also Bon Jovi.
Clueless, Hotel Rwanda, Bad Education, Pirates of the Caribbean, Love Actually, Moulin Rouge, Chicago, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Gladiator, Walk the Line, Anchorman, Pride and Prejudice, Sorority Boys, Borat, Talladega Nights. Usually I fall asleep during movies unless Don Cheadle is in them.
The Office is the best thing in my life. Also: PTI, Project Runway, Top Chef, anything else Bravo shows over and over, Friday Night Lights, and basically all of VH1's Celebreality shows.
Anything that doesn't have a pastel cover and wasn't written by Dan Brown.
