Low Calorie Logic (E.C.)

A witty quote proves nothing--Voltaire

About Me

Don't wanna misrepresent myself here... This is what I usually look like... drug addled and clinging onto my similarly drug addled boyfriend. :) We're a match made in heaven, ain't we folks?Yay! Yet another venue for my self-absorption! Whoooohoooo! In a nutshell I am ragingly insecure, anxiety ridden little adolescent who in the absence of any substantial problems likes dwell on the creeping sense of social alienation that results from living in a town that was not designed in the interest of genuine human necessity, but rather in that of cost-effectiveness. Wow... I can't believe I just spat all of that out in one sentence :)Let's seem, um, I have a very masturbatory mentality... I am an avid physical, mental and verbal masturbator (as is readily evident by now, I'm sure).I'm a reclusive, socially moribund "nerd" who likes assuming the least possible amount of responsibility in the things that I do. I'm a hedonist within the confines of my bullshit, intellectual rationalizations. I'm cold, heartless, lacking sentimentality and have questionable sensibilities. I'm into using parallel structure... I'm as self-deprecating as I am horrendously unattractive.My turn ons include myself, verbosity, modern evolutionary theory, the ability to string cohesive sentences together, public transportation, toe-gazing music, recreational paranoia, recreational argumentation, eccentricity, submission(the other party submitting to me, that is), music with discernible melodies, gaping age disparities, long, unkempt hair, vinyl and a propensity for independent thought. My turn offs include (but are not limited to) people who cannot deviate from their own circle of self-referential dogma, Bush supporters, homophobia, carbon monoxide, supporting OPEC (or just OPEC in general), SUVs, ingrown hairs, gelatinous pop-music, HMOs, compulsory education and city-planning that is engineered to generate profit as opposed to coming into place naturally to satiate genuine socio-cultural needs (sorry I keep bringing that up, but it really gets demoralizing after a while).Does that sound good to you, baby? I'm new to the Bay Area, and being the socially isolated little recluse that I am, I always appreciate e-visits from, fun, positive locals... so don't hesitate to IM me on AIM at Funkensteinlives.I would be really impressed if anyone actually reads this shit.Oh Yeah, I like doodling :)..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

My Interests

Implementing massive cultural paradigm shifts as a means to maintain a sense of dignity and self-worth, further validating the theory that dogmatic religious fanaticism is very much akin to mental illness, and benzodiazapines.

Music:

Intifada songs, Ethiopian Jazz, quintessential "stoner staples", Bill Laswell, Rachmoninoff and occasionally a little Immortal Technique or Public Enemy...

Movies:

Clever Crows

Some crows in Japan come up with a clever way to eat food that they naturally wouldn't be able to. David Attenborough narrates.Taxi Driver, Human Traffic, Office Space, American Beauty, A Clockwork Orange, Apocalypse Now, Battleship Potemkin, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Dead Man, Come and See, Mars Attacks, Kinsey, Election and Koyaanisqatsi.

Television:

You know how if you put frogs in a pot of water and gradually bring it to a boil, they'll let themselves get cooked, but if you throw them into water that has already been brought to a boil, they'll leap out? I feel like the frog that's been abruptly thrown into the boiling water every time I am exposed to TV, since I haven't owned a functioning television in over five years.

Books:

How 'bout I just give you some authors? I was on a Kerouac/Burroughs kick for a while, Aldous Huxely, Oscar Wilde, Tom Wolfe, Herman Hesse, Mary Pipher, George Orwell, Ken Kesey, J.D. Salinger, F. Scott Fitzgerald (I know, I'm a terminal nerd), D.H. Lawrence, Dostoevsky, Cornel West, Noam Chomsky, Leo Tolstoy, Nietzsche, Henry David Thoreau, Ovid, Sylvia Plath, James Joyce... Countee Coullen (Is that how you spell it?), e.e. cummings, Allen Ginsberg, Walt Whitman, William Blake, Robert Zimmerman, Simone De Beauvior, Germaine Greer, Umberto EccoAuthors I can't stand (with reasons I hate them provided): Zora Neale Hurston (contrived, overdone vernacular), Anne Rice (literary cheese-wiz), Hemmingway (grunting, machismo bullshit), Charles Dickens(pretentiously verbose "as all get out") Anne Coulter (goes without saying) Sean Hannity (again, goes without saying) Jennifer Weiner (shudder) and too many others to continue on...

Heroes:

My mommy and daddy no doubt. Daddy's one radical dude and mommy's one fiery broad. In lieu of any flattering images of them this cool Frank Zappa poster my dad designed will have to suffice.
