Gold teeth and a curse for this town.

About Me

My body hurts, mostly from this but also from other stuff.

My Interests

playing sports, writing stuff, speaking over-literally, walking, getting people's parents to like me, Friday night/Saturday morning, being mocked by my friends, driving on the freeway, Eugene Oregon, Josh Cornell's poker stories, fake fights with Jarrett, complete and utter failure, girls who carry pints of liquor in their purses, coffee, humor, eye contact, making new plans, observing people, existentialism, U of O, the shins.

I'd like to meet:

A well-spoken and sensitive physical therapist, male or female.

Music:

Yea, I've been listening to music lately.

Movies:

I have watched one movie so far this year.

Television:

mad men, californication, entourage, clark and michael, mr. show, arrested development, seinfeld, in living color, fresh prince of bel air, curb your enthusiasm, sports!

Books:

"The Existentialist's Guide to Paying Student Loans On Time" (HarperCollins, $14.95) states that writing a $250 check every month can be a rewarding experience, serving as a reminder of your wide-ranging intelligence and glory years.There's also a chapter on graduate school out-of-state loans written by Albert Camus but I haven't finished it yet.

Heroes:

People who are really nice.
