Albert

Goonies never say die!

About Me

I am generally considered to be one of the coolest Albert's on the west coast.... I'm also the only one under the age of 73 but that's got nothing to do with it. What else about me... I like soup. I like to talk. And not talk. I could talk or not talk for hours. (If you know what movie that's from I like you already.) People keep telling me that I’m “very east coast” and I have no idea what that means (although I am from the Valley which is like Jersey but with better weather). I think dogs are cool and cats are only cool when they exhibit “dog-like” behavior (i.e. affection, companionship, tricks, etc.) I love to make people laugh (but don't mind when I'm the only one laughing at my joke), I play guitar (poorly) and try to spend as much time with my family and friends. I also apparently have an unhealthy relationship with parantheses (I don't understand it either.)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You... unless you're one of those scantily clad women with 9,024 friends and are asking me to be your friend so you can break 10,000.

Music:

Rock whether it's classic (Stones and Beatles), hard (Sabbath and Metallica), 80's (Springstein and Aerosmith), 90's (Pearl Jam and Rage) or whatever the hell we're calling this decade (Killers and Audioslave)... Also on a bit of a blues and Mototown kick lately. But basically whatever I'm feeling at that moment.

Movies:

Too many to list but I love everything from Amadeus to Cadddyshack to Network to Annie Hall.

Television:

Arrested Development (I refuse to acknowledge it was cancelled), The Daily Show, Lost, Entourage, Flight of the Concordes, The Office, South Park, and as many geeky Nova and History Channel shows as I can fit on my Tivo

Books:

Anything historical, introspective, or hilarious. Bonus points if it's all three. Just read a Brief History of Nearly Everything by Bill Byson and it's one of best books I've ever read.

Heroes:

Gozer, the Gozarian.
