Sam....I am?

People are aborting full grown goats. ClouDdead

About Me

I don't have a God complex, God has a Sam complex.

My Interests

Art in all of her manifestations (film, theater, music, etc.), writing, directing, being a pretentious fuck during the quiet hours of the night while not taking myself seriously by making a fool of myself the rest of the time.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who's self loathing doesn't result in me loathing them...

Movies:

Movies are for the illiterate simpletons who drink beer and eat pretzels. I watch FILMS, not movies. Films like Home Alone III, Batman and Robin, Crossroads, Coyote Ugly. I'm a regular cinephile.

Television:

What answer do you want to hear? Should I go the "I don't own a tv route?" Or the lesbian unemployed actress route (Law and Order)? How about the slacker "lunch to me is a bong hit and Guiness" route ("I love Adult Swim and Family Guy").. Hmm, why don't you tell me?

Books:

Anything that quoting would impress drunk hipster girls.

Heroes:

Deepha Mehta, Santosh Sivan, Rachel Maddow, Mira Nair, Mani Rathnam, and a bunch of other people that you probably haven't heard of.

Chick directors...

Freak folk?!?!? FREAK FOLK!

10,010 blog hits!

Thank you, thank you. 10,000 reads is a milestone that I'm happy with.  Maybe I should just take the blogs down now.. Nah, where else can I be so textually passive aggressive ;)
