I am here for Friends

About Me

Cinephile extraordinaire. Dangerously dapper Irishman. Mix master. I go to parties sometimes until 4...it's hard to leave when you can't find the door. I'm not aware of too many things, I know what I know if you know what I mean. 'Cause I know what it means to walk along a lonely street of dreams. I wish I was in Tijuana eating barbequed iguana. I'm not internationally known, but I'm known to rock a microphone. I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take it slow, but then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste the day. I say high, you say low. You say why and I say I don't know. I keep a close watch on this heart of mine, I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I listen to the music with no fear...you can hear it too if you're sincere. I don't wanna be the type of guy who lives alone reading books and never eats a pizza pie. I've got more rhymes than I've got grey hairs and that's a lot because I've got my share.

The So-Called Academy IV

Sorry, folks. No need for a post-oscars rant this year. Marty finally won and that's all I was praying for. We'll see what happens next year.

Last call.

Useful tip of the weekend: when you repeatedly try to slide your ATM card in the slot where the receipt comes out, you've probably had enough to drink for one night.    ...

In sickness and in health.

Have I ever mentioned how much I frickin' hate being sick? There's nothing more annoying than catching a nasty stomach bug that seemed to appear out of no where. I walk into work yesterday feeling rig...

"Why's the rum gone?!"

  My advice for this week... Do NOT let anyone tell you "Dead Man's Chest" was a disappointment. I can assure you, as the cinephile that knows all that is cool in the topic of film...

The So-Called Academy Episode III

Well, it wouldn't be the day after the Oscars if I didn't write a typical rant about them. This year my only rant would have to be about how friggin' boring they were. The first half hour  o...
