Our civilization is fueled more by spit, sweat and spunk than anything else.

About Me

My biographer once described me as “an enema wrapped in an enigma” which at the time I took to mean that, given the chance, I might just make you laugh until you shit your pants. It's clear now, however, that I need to find myself another biographer...

I'm an intellectual and a pervert. This means a conversation with me about semiotics may, without sudden warning, devolve in to talk about anal beads. Consider yourself warned... and invited.

My Interests

literature, music, movies, hiking, swimming, biking, running, skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling, Literotica, dirty talk, dirty thoughts, video games, scotch, beer, sushi, manapua, random road trips, travel in general, the unknown, rabble-rousin' and... um... mayhem.

I'd like to meet:

Dreamers, explorers, cartographers, and pirates. Oh, and porn stars.

Music:

Blackalicious, Latyrx, Mos Def, MF Doom, Beatnuts, Pharcyde, People Under the Stairs, Jurassic 5, Cut Chemist, QBert, Dan the Automator, RJD2, Nick Drake, Archers of Loaf, Modest Mouse, Radiohead, Pavement, Flaming Lips, Dan Bern, Depeche Mode, Postal Service and, even though she might not necessarily belong here... Alix Olson.

Movies:

Brazil, Apocalypse Now, City of Lost Children, Amelie, Evil Dead trilogy, Legend of Zu, PCU, Last Dragon, Three Amigos, Fear of a Black Hat, Super Troopers, Eurotrip, Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Life Aquatic, Leon, Tron, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Secretary, Big Lebowski, The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island, if only for the fact that someone thought it'd be a good idea to make a movie featuring the Harlem Globetrotters, the cast of Gilligan's Island, and a team of robot basketball players.

Television:

Daily Show, Sopranos, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The State, Family Guy, Arrested Development, Freaks & Geeks, The Sarah Silverman Show, The Office (UK and US), The McLaughlin Group, Home Movies, Meet the Press, I have to admit that as of late Heroes has sucked me in and made me miss the days I used to spend reading comic books.

Books:

The Gay Science, Invisible Man, The Diamond Age, Skinny Legs and All, Lover's Discourse, Self Overcoming of Nihilism, The Master and Margarita

Wannabe Ode to an Okinawan

I glanced up from a bite of rafute to notice her gaze fixed upon me, in the heat of what I can only assume to be drunken fascination. She couldn't understand what it was that had brought me to that ta...
