I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

When ink and pen in hands of men inscribe your form, bipedal "P", they draw an altar on which God has slaughtered all stability. No eyes could ever soak in all the places you anoint, and yet to see you all at once we only need the point. Flirting with infinity, your geometric progeny that fit inside you oh so tight with triangles that feel so rightYour ever-constant homily says flaw is discipline; the patron saint of imperfection frees us from our sin. And if our transcendental lift shall find a final floor, then Man will know the death of God where wonder was before.

My Interests

Math, Zelda, Bridge, Wolves, Gargoyles, Sarcasm, Non-Sequitur Comedy, TiVo, Drinking lots and lots of Wine, Bitching just to hear myself talk, Celebrating "Talk Like a Pirate Day"

I'd like to meet:

Guys who claim to be musicians becuase they have a guitar or a drum set and a "band" consiting of a bunch of other losers with guitars and drums who all live in their moms' basements because their only income is from McDonalds because they don't have time for real jobs because they're musicians in a band.

Or maybe some guys who put up a bunch of pictures of themselves without shirts and whose interests run as deep as a DMB song and whose friends list consists of a bunch of scantily-clad tits with bodies attached that they'll never meet and whose sole purpose is to provide jerk-off material for said guys.

Or maybe some dark/punk/emo/misunderstood kid who feels compelled to list every deep dark thought he has in his blog because the world really cares that his life is so dark and his thoughts are so deep.

Nah, forget all that...give me a narcisistic little gayboi with a shaved chest and 50 glamor shots of said shaved chest and a bunch of friends with shaved chests who all leave comments for each other about how hot their shaved chests are.

Oh, and whoever I meet, maybe he'll post like three or four Linkin Park videos on his profile page so the page will take forever to load and I'll get the pleasure of having to pause my music and have a merry search for his stop button. And please, for the love of God, have a picture in your background that makes it impossible to read anything you've written about yourself.

Think I can meet someone like that here on MySpace?

Furthermore, if you have fewer than 100 friends on your list, you are NOT cool enough to send me a friend request. I do NOT want people on my friends list that I will actually talk to, or who will actually talk to me. I want to be a face in the crowd...a notch in your proverbial MySpace bedpost. I want to be a +1 for your perceived popularity. Please.
