About Me

While I wouldn't say that it's safe to say that you can depend on me for consistent communication because I'm in and out of here, you can depend on me to be that person you can call up for coffee at 3AM. (Does that describe me well enough?) I like to make metaphors. I can't help it. I'm just so horny to do that sometimes. Please excuse me.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Must think of something not too vague to put here. I always feel lonely and solipsistic when it's time to fill out this part. Ummm.......can't think of anything.
-People who have always been crazy, which has kept them from going insane.

Music:

Discovering new stuff everyday is how I steal heaven from the holy ones up above. It's better than dumpster-diving or stealing cable. So, too much to ever possibly list.

Television:

I don't seem to stay in places long enough to get comfortable with the new cable service and enjoy watching a particular show. So I don't know.

Books:

Dubliners

Heroes:

Waylon Jennings, James Joyce, Bob Dylan, Judy Garland

Only Clem Snide and the Beastie Boys pass my clearance. The rest can fuck off.

Brooklyn once had soul. I was there yesterday and I couldn't believe what has happened to it. That has got to be the the most yuppified place I have ever seen. It makes San Francisco look like Wal-...

A new plateau in fabulousness
