What the hell am I supposed to put here?

About Me

Hmmm. If you know me then you don't need to read this. But I tend to be a fairly dynamic person so maybe you need an update. Last year I successfully transitioned from college slacker to working professional so this year my goal is to work less and volunteer more. I may be agnostic but I'm a firm believer in karma and balance so I dunno what that makes me. Guess you could just say I'm a giver.

My Interests

I'm a generalist with a tendancy to be distracted by shiny things with buttons. EVERYTHING interests me.

I'd like to meet:

I am sooooooooo over meeting people online. It was cool back when the only people on the internet were nerds like me, but unfortunately the web bubble burst and now we've been overthrown by jocks and cheerleaders. If you really want to meet me just stalk me in real life or something. Really, I'd be flattered.

Music:

M.I.A. 2 Many DJ's a.k.a. Hang the DJ a.k.a. As Heard on Radio Soulwax Volumes 1-27 and beyond. Just trust me. Death From Above 1979 Queens of the Stone Age Peaches Princess Superstar KMFDM Lords of Acid Living Legends Prodigy RZA Van Morrison

Movies:

Dark Days. I'm putting this one here because it's the only film I've seen recently that could slap me in the face and say "what the fuck are you so down about? at least you don't live in a subway tunnel!" Also keep an eye out for any of the new stuff coming out of Thailand. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Old Boy and Ong Bak are all on my top ten for 2003-4.

Television:

If you insist on watching television (which I am firmly against). I'll give you two options pick the blue remote and I'll give you HBO, Comedy Central, Adult Swim, BBC1, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel accessible at the flick of a neurolink piped directly into your skull via the 8th lateral nerve. Pick the red remote and I'll give you one button for Fox News Channel and tune your rabbit ears back into the Matrix.

Books:

The only actual physical book I've read recently was Jennifer Government. Not exactly high brow philosophy but a fun read that skewers the golden calf of capitalism with a feces encrusted dollar sign. Well @ least I thought it did.

Heroes:

Martin Luther King, Nikolai Tesla (Edison was a fuckin hack!) and Preston Tucker.

My Blog

well after a few months of relative obscurity I've come to the conclusion that this whole internet thing is a complete fucking farce.  no more blogs.  I just don't care.  I feel like a ...

Why "Bitchin" is a shitty word and here's what you can do to curtail it's usage.

Bitchin is a shitty word. I don't even know what "Bitching" actually is. I mean I know how to whine like a bitch and that that could be considered "Bitching" but I can't think of a personal context...
