I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

A friend recently told me that I was the weirdest guy he knew. He knows lots of weird folks so needless to say I was flattered.
.
When I was very very young I really liked mushrooms. I liked them so much that I decided to eat a few off of our front lawn. From this, I gained a trip to the hospital and lost my taste for mushrooms.
.

I generally only like white cheeses too (except swiss... yuck) but that had nothing to do with eating cheddar lawn cheese or something, it's just a matter of taste.
.

I share my birthday with Dudley Moore, Ashley Judd, the Oklahoma City bombing, Tim Curry, Kate Hudson, the first shot of the American Revolution ("the shot heard round the world"), Maria Sharapova, Jayne Mansfield, the invasion of Waco and Hayden Christiansen among other tragedies.
.

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

My Interests

Music collecting, concert attending, gallery/museum visiting, snobby movie watching, silly comedy movie viewing, coffee bean smelling, creating, refrigerator door painting, public reading (I need a new outlet for this), walking, lots of walking...Click Here to get this from FreeFlashToys.com!

Movies:

Day Of The Beast, Amelie, Army Of Darkness, Deconstructing Harry, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, Tennenbaums, Welcome To The Doll House, American Psycho, American Movie (quirky documentaries in general), Umbrella's of Cherbourg, Ma Vie En Rose, Huckabees, Rosemary's Baby, Best In Show, Waiting for Guffman, Harold & Maude, Happiness, Secretary, Horse Feathers, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Virgin Suicides, Lost In Translation... I have a very very low tolerance for action flicks and over-marketed blockbusters.

Television:

God bless DVR and TV on DVD! For a while I thought I hated TV but then I realized that it was actually the commercials that I hated. It's so nice to sit down and chose what you want to watch then be commercial free... thank you technology! Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, Unwrappped, Robot Chicken, Dog Bites Man, Freaks & Geeks, Reno 911, Simpsons, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Myth Busters, Family Guy, The Office (UK version... although the US one's growing on me), Ali G, almost any quirky tv documentary (Discovery channel kinda stuff). I think my general rule of thumb is it has to be funny or non-fiction.

Books:

I recently discovered Chuck Kloesterman who I really enjoy, I just finished "Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs" and "Killing Yourself To Live." Asside from him some faves are The World Is Flat, Fast Food Nation, Sex Drugs and DNA, Geek Love, Skinny Legs & All (most Tom Robbins), Running With Scissors, Confederacy of Dunces and The Secret Language of Birthdays.

Heroes:

Yes, I love heroes. Prior to the American invasion of the evil Dr. Atkins, my family had always been in the bakery business… so I have a tendency to appreciate all types of sandwiches, including the hero. If I had to pick a favorite hero it would probably be on a white roll with grilled chicken, red peppers mozzarella and maybe bacon if I'm feeling feisty.

Fishing for refrigerator doors and buying slices for the homeless.

So tonight, I went out, as I often do, to do what I call fishing for refrigerator doors.  I go out at night combing the streets looking for doors.  Last night I passed by 7 different refrig...
