Hats off to drug abusers everywhere.

About Me

i hate cats. screw bruce bochy; he's dead to me.

My Interests

candy. the national league west. bourbon. foosball, ping pong, and air hockey. fish tacos. pirates, including the ride at disneyland. sunshine. not working. the girl scout cookies with the caramel and coconuts. political geography. bbqs. lifting heavy things. punching people that misspell things to be hip and trendy. new urbanism. st patricks day. your favorite salad dressing. winning the lotto. middle eastern history. going to places ive never been (atop the current list, nepal, belize, and tennessee). power outages. paying off debt. las vegas. 1% milk. otter pops. oppressive heat. laser hair removal. masons. my rusty bicycle. the tampa bay bucs' orange uniforms. small boats. CIA interventions. convincing people that bears are really just big dogs. craps (the dice game, not turds). condiments. realizing what time it is and going to bed when you're typing your interests.

I'd like to meet:

people that really like to eat breakfast in restaurants. people with hilarious jokes. game show hosts. not people that say "orientated," which is terribly wrong. minimalists. people with good hints or tricks. good cooks. abraham lincoln. someone that can eat more chicken wings in one sitting than dave. people from alaska, third world nations, or gila bend. and anybody else who is not a jerk.

Music:

bad religion, 80's hair bands, and whatever you want to listen to.

Movies:

spies like us, goonies, braveheart, multiplicity, billy madison, back to the future, shawshank redemption, army of darkness, office space, ghostbusters, the big lebowski, three amigos, lawrence of arabia, bill and ted's excellent adventure, spaceballs, shaun of the dead. there are many great movies out there. but i like these better.

Television:

baseball. jeopardy. whose line. tom and jerry. he-man. everything else is a waste of your time.

Books:

non-fiction stuff mostly-- history, geography, etc. the current read is "Raj-- The Making and Unmaking of British India" which is a lengthy, detailed, but still incredibly interesting glimpse into daily life for limeys as well as indians from the start of occupation until independence. no small read, but well worth it if you're interested.

Heroes:

john henry, because he beat the machine. ric flair, who taught me that to be the man, you gotta beat the man. and the 1998 san diego padres.

civic duty and juice

So I voted the other day. For whatever reason, I really enjoy voting. For one, it's nice to pretend that you have a voice in important matters. Also nice when things go wrong to be able to note your o...

quick thought of the day: let's save some loot

Not even considering the "pork" that they spawn, here's a real easy way to save over $70M on governmental payroll alone: eliminate the House of Representatives. We currently have a wing of Congress th...

Auto Dealers

So I'm not in the best position to knock car dealers as Dad's hard work in the industry has made me what I am today. However, as a self-appointed guardian of the English language, I have a huge beef w...
