My Interests

Music, beauty, writing stories and songs, sex, contemplation, entertaining, women who are out of my league, the occasional drug to take life's edge off, political debate, etc.

I'd like to meet:



Cyanide and Happiness

Music:

Marilyn Manson, Sneaker Pimps, Portishead, Otep, Orgy, Lacuna Coil, Razing Eden, Snake River Conspiracy, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Bastard Fairies, IamX, Scarling., Deftones, LUXT, Jack Off Jill, Nine Inch Nails, VNV Nation, Sia, Celldweller, The Gathering, Massive Attack, UNKLE, Smashing Pumpkins, Free Dominguez, Count Zero, A Perfect Circle, nearLY, 8mm, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Harvey Danger, Nocturne, Kidneythieves, Aroarah, etc.

Movies:

One's that make you think, not just useless 'romantic comedies.' Donnie Darko, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Pi, Memento, Garden State, Requiem for a Dream, etc., and above all, Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Television:

I try not to watch too much television, with all the mindlessness that fills the airwaves. I do enjoy Family Guy, though, and a fair amount of the Adult Swim non-anime shows. And Six Feet Under. And the Whitest Kids U Know.

Books:

Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis. This is the best book ever written, and everyone must read it. And Catcher in the Rye. Oh, and White Oleander, 1984, The Little Prince, The Last Unicorn, The Bell Jar, and countless others I don't feel like wracking my brain for right now.

Heroes:

There's no heroes anymore...
