Alex Haskell

I've read dozens of books about heroes and crooks, and I've learned much from both of their styles.

About Me

It's not pretty being easy. I offer sensitivity training classes every friday from 4pm to 4am. I am the drink you don't need at 2am on a tuesday. I can shower all day and still come out a little dirty. My dog smokes.

My Interests

Music, Reading, Cooking, Coming up with interesting cocktails then drinking them.

I'd like to meet:

Everybody who's not a freak. Well that's not true, All my friends are freaks, and I mean that in the best possible way, so I'm pretty much open to anything. I mean shit, a drunken dog, one of my best friends. Freaks, You're all freaks. One of us, one of us. . .

Music:

The Boss, Indie rock, Manu Chao, Bob Dylan, Cross Canadian Ragweed(bizarre but really cool), and okay, cheesy 80's music

Movies:

Shaun of the Dead, Anchorman, Godfather 2, Rushmore, The Star Wars 6pack(even the shitty ones), Blade Runner

Television:

Deadwood, entourage

Books:

Catch-22, anything with a detective in it, or a spy, or a conspiracy, Cryptonimicon,

Heroes:

Heater, for knowing when and how to wake a feller up if he's dragging. Jord, for knowing how not to drink responsibly, and then forcing that knowledge on his friends. JQ for making me spit beer through my nose on 4(and counting) separate occasions, and laughing at me for it. TP, for letting me come out with her friends, it's was like the twilight zone. Mickey, for helping me put on makeup after that unfortunate incident(never hit on a linebacker's girlfriend, Really. Especially if you are wearing glasses, and if you do pretend to have been knocked out, it may save further injury, fighting back...Also not recomended) Jimmy for the philosophy lesson. Mary&Jo, for teaching me that it's Okay for grownups to drink too much. The Great Sir Gary Regan, For teaching me how to do what I do, in 2 days, Brilliant.

My Blog
