If love is the answer, could you please rephrase the question?

About Me

Well, let’s see... I love squirrels, horror movies, reading take out menus, the ideal of love, and would do anything for my friends (as long as I wasn't busy). I don’t want children – they’re loud, are a catalyst to stretch marks, and smell like bologna sandwiches. I have been known to spend my weekends making tinfoil hats, sock monkeys, and tinfoil hats for sockmonkeys. If you have gray chest hair, are 20+ years my senior, are particularly bad at committing, and have had some kind of musical notoriety in the last 30 years, I will likely fall in love with you. I have a Marilyn Monroe body, Barbara Bush politics, tragic Hollywood love affairs, and believe it or not, I'm smarter than I look. I'm a sheep in wolf's clothing. So, if you find humor in cynicism and beauty in the macabre, we'll probably get along.

My Interests

Reading, painting, volunteering at the pet shelter, movies, writing, hookah, soul excavating, and snuggling with my beloved cat.

I'd like to meet:

New friends, old friends, and everything in between..
But if we've never "met" before or don't have mutual friends, could you please drop me a line first? Thanks!

Music:

KISS, Elvis, Johnny Cash, David Bowie, Bee Gees, Roy Orbison, Tom Jones, Daniel Johnston, Strange Fruit, golden oldies, Jesse and the Rippers, delta blues, The Beatles, Bruce Kulick, a bit of country, Mr Big, and Billy Sheehan.

Movies:

I particularly love horror movies. I'm also a huge John Wayne fan. ("The Shootist" is my fave) Other favorites include: Ed Wood, Eternal Sunshine, It's a Wonderful Life, Shaun of the Dead, The Notebook, Still Crazy, Love Actually, Sweeney Todd, Lost in Translation, Schindler's List, Pan's Labyrinth, Amadeus, and anything by Christopher Guest.

Television:

Everwood, Family Guy, The 4400, Dr. Phil, Lost, Mr. Bean, House, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Golden Girls. I also like news shows like Dateline, 48 hrs and 20/20.

Books:

Pretty much anything by Stephen King, anything by Augusten Burroughs, Visions from within the Mechanism: The Industrial Surrealism of Jeffery Scott, KISS & Make-up by Gene Simmons, The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams, and Teasing Secrets from the Dead by Emily Craig, PhD.

Heroes:

John Wayne, Bea Arthur, Genie, and my Gramma.

As some of you know, I've been working at Universal Studios for about a year now. A couple weeks ago, my co-worker Rene and I took a golf cart and basically went around and played in a bunch of t...

Insomniac

Silence this cerebral discourse, relentless pillager of dreams. Long-buried apparitions reject their fact, permeate and possess. Prayer is the only offering for release. A make-shift reprieve from que...

Never was

Great companions were he and I, the man who never was. Fanciful invention, necessary delusion. Pretty promises wrapped in ribbons of lies. Hope springs eternal, or is that infernal? A pedestal empty, ...

Jesus sighed

*Dedicated to my Gramma*   Immaculate creation tainted. Wounded, broken by existence. Body betraying, mind unforgiving. The sting of death lurks heavy here. Stripped of dignity, an infantile paro...

Weep not for the memories.

Today I recieved the call that my Gramma had passed away. She'd been in a nursing home for several years with a disease similar to Alzheimer's, so it wasn't completely unexpected. But t...
