Always looking for cute girls who make poor choices.

About Me

I'm a famous blogger living in Seattle and I think I'm awesome, and so does everyone else.I'm a believer that we bond with people not over things we have in common that we love, but things we have in common that we hate. Here, then, is my list.

Things I hate:

Flip Flops That dress-over-pants thing. Utilikilts The Yankees Dave Mathews band and his fans. Especially his fans.Car paymentsHippiesPatchouliThe PrezEvangelicals and/or fundamentalists of any religion. If you have to ask, this probably means you.Last callPoetry. Really.Bad art Pioneer Square's "nightlife" Parking in SeattleSensitive faux-alterna-goatee guys. Like Nickelback and their fans."Thanks for the drinks last night, but after I left, I hooked up with my
roommate/co-worker/parole officer/bandmate/ex-boyfriend/cab driver and he's my boyfriend now. Sorry!" When people put music and/or videos on their MySpace profiles. My hairline, and, consequently, the fade from fashion of decent men's hats.
I take photos when I'm out and about and they end up on my flickr account:

Because some of you are looking for yourselves. Vanity kills, my friends. Enjoy responsibly.

Also, I write for a blog called Gizmodo. It's good, you should read it. If you're a nerd, that is, or like gadgets, which, of course, you should.

My Interests

Current interests include: Fake tattoos, fake mustaches, kickball taunts, skinny dipping, instant dates, bad ideas that seemed good at the time, girls way out of my league, getting back in touch with old friends, working too much, sleeping too little, after-hours parties, party photos that kick ass, avoiding making babies, surprise guest stars, and my car.I'm trying to find good music, but I hate most of it, so it's hard. I'm trying to decide if I this writing for a living thing is for me or not. I like smart comedy and indie films. I like my BMW. If you can make me laugh and think at the same time, I probably like you, too.

I'd like to meet:


Kari Fucking Byron. If you think I'm a nerd-ass fanboy, you'd be correct. Sue me.
Girls who want to talk excitedly about the LHC.
People that like Pabst Blue Ribbon. People who like to stay up late. Also, people who agree that the eight worst words in the English language are, "Let me read you one of my poems!"If you feel like meeting me, I'm always fucking online.
