About Me

Oh, I don't know what to say without sounding like an idiot. I'm a good guy.

My Interests

I read, I watch tv, I drink beer. I smoke, too - though I'd like to quit someday.

I'd like to meet:

Dave Matthews, just to give him a good snog. Also J.D. Salinger, just to biff him upside the head.

Music:

"the Irish are the blacks of Europe, the Northern Irish are the blacks of Ireland, the Dubliners are the blacks of North Ireland, and the North Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it with me lads, say it loud: I'm Black, and I'm proud."Anyway. I like all kinds of music. My very first record was Blondie's "Parallel Lines" and not too long after that, X's "More Fun in the New World".I also "discovered" Barbra Streisand's "Live Concert at the Forum" (1972) around the same time, which was a benifit raising - and I quote Barbra - "$300,000 - to hopefully elect the next president of the United States." George McGovern. He lost.Meanwhile. I have always been a fan of Janis Joplin. No one else can compare. My lovely, dear, dear friend Shamsi comes damn close though.

Movies:

I can honestly say one of the greatest films I have ever seen is "the Godfather". I'm not obsessive about it, but I never get tired of seeing it.

Television:

There's a lot of crap on tv. having said that, I tend to watch a lot of crap. I tend to watch "The Office", as well as "Nip/Tuck", "My Name is Earl", and "Grey's Anatomy". These tend to rise above the crap. Oh, and have you seen "Ugly Betty" yet? It's pretty good, though I've only seen one episode.

Books:

Easy -- "Franny & Zooey".

Heroes:

Heroism is a funny thing. My first reaction is to say the vets who faught in WWII are certainly heroes. I started feeling this way after my first viewing of "Band of Brothers". Curahee!

"The Worst Hard Time" by Tim Egan

I'm reading "The Worst Hard Time" by Timothy Egan, is the 2006 recipient of the National Book Award, and well-deserving, I might add.  I have always been fascinated by the 1930's time period.&nbs...

People who need People.....

I have been motivated lately to focus a bit more on what it is I hope to accomplish in the next few months.  I have been talking about moving to NY for as long as I can remember, and writing a sc...

c'est moi

I have been in a varying state of energy these past couple of days.  Having recently moved into a much smaller space, I have struggled with how to manage it.  I'm trying to be creative, and ...
