being an asshole of an irish mick with a temper, committing minor crimes, reading and writing, (years ahead of my age group!) spending my annual leave before I make it, moving out of my house like a thief in the night. Loving my family and friends more than anything in the world. Representin DC and La Gitanas. Causin a ruckus, raisin a panic, throwing bottles out the window of a moving car, driving on back country roads at night, missing my best friends who keep MOVING TO FOREIGN FUCKING COUNTRIES. KOREA? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? TURKEY, SERIOUSLY? ARGENTINA? DID YOU JUST THROW A DART AT A MAP? the smell of gasoline, the elusive giant squid, living beyond my means, voodoo, hanging up on my exes at 4 am, getting out of being arrested, apparently, going to Trusty's, mental illness, dinosaurs, gnarly old trees, gray days, saying "clearly," ghetto living, going days without sleep, gettin squirelly, men over two hundred pounds, being half a catholic, day of the dead, shanghai-ing sumbitches, my friends, my drunken angelic antihero roomates, your friends, seedy bars, ignoring my problems, random phone calls, goats, jackalopes, Mexico, roses, Redskins football,

The seventh son of a seventh son. Nobody that's too happy. And definately nobody who writes bad poetry (re: heavy metaphors involving drowning, nature, or the color purple) and wants me to read it. if you're screwed up, like drunk and angry and confused, or slightly imbalanced that's totally welcome. I'd like it if you're smart and hilarious and a misfits fan. Or built like a pro wrestler. Anyone who wants to kill time with me until my inevitable viking funeral, or believes you should marry at least three times or not at all, or has a gypsy fetish. People who know that nothing is impossible except dinosaurs. Or who will play dominos with me. And if you gave your life for Sparta, so much the better...Basically, just searching for my Dan Connor. And I'm having so much fun I could give a fuck if I ever find him.
