I’ll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide.

About Me

Life has been pretty good to me. . . I've been in New York for a year now. I have a great new job within walking distance to a great apartment that I rent from an awesome lady. My cats are fat and happy, I'm in good health, and I have the best boyfriend ever. I never thought I could be so happy simply living.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

My Interests

Music, music, and music. My cats, coffee, thrift stores, drinking glasses, Target therapy, garage sales, rock shows, make up, nutrition, napping, sushi, sugarless bubble gum, wine, post-it notes in all sizes and colors, cereal, Willie Nelson, RED guys, knitting, knee socks, and laughing until it hurts.

I'd like to meet:

Kimora Lee Simmons and the person that invented Downy Wrinkle Release.

Music:

...nothing will ever replace live music.nothing.its not analog vs. digital. its not singles vs. AOR. its not silent vs. talkies. its not 18 bit vs. 24 bit.its an experience unto itself. it cannot be replicated. it will and will always be that way until the end of time.get out of your house. turn off the tv. get off your computer. go see a band.and if you don't, ultimately, its your loss. you had that chance while you were here. you white lazy bastard. -rgrs, Denton, TXTop Albums of All Time: The Bends - Radiohead Low-Life - New Order Regretfully Yours - Superdrag Love Is Hell Part 1 & 2 - Ryan Adams Funeral - Arcade Fire Cor-crane Secret - Polvo Without You I'm Nothing - Placebo Little Earthquakes - Tori Amos How It Feels To Be Something On - Sunny Day Real Estate Photo Album - Death Cab for Cutie Last Broadcast - the DovesOn the Player and In the Apartment:Mary J - Retrospective Neko Case - Live From Austin Texas The National - Alligator Grizzly Bear - Yellow House Dean & Britta - L'Avventura / Words You Used To Say Peter, Bjorn and John - Writer's Block jPod comp - Favorites of 2006 And a whole lotta Lee Hazelwood courtesy of my awesome boyfriend with excellent taste.Lunar Rotation: Slowride - SlowrideAnd in two seconds The beat was recognised And all the old school heads Nodded back in time And though we've just met I've known you all my life

Movies:

Sixteen Candles. Pretty in Pink. Heathers. Lock, Stock. . ., Seven. Requiem for a Dream. Royal Tenenbaums. A Charlie Brown Christmas. Bottle Rocket. The Nude Bomb. And even Breakfast at Tiffany's (I'm a big fan of Cat.)

Television:

Family Guy, CSI, 24, Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under, Quincy, Freaks & Geeks, Keeping Up Appearances, Seinfeld, the Simpsons, America's Next Top Model, Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, Tyra.

Books:

We music fans love our classic albums, our seamless masterpieces, our Blonde on Blondes and our Talking Books. But we love to pluck songs off those albums and mix them up with other songs, plunging them back into the rest of the manic slipstream of rock and roll. I'd rather hear the Beatles' "Getting Better" on a mix tape than on Sgt. Pepper's any day. I'd rather hear a Frank Sinatra song between Run DMC and Bananarama than between two other Frank Sinatra songs. When you stick a song on a mix tap, you set it free.
Love Is a Mix Tape - Rob Sheffield

Heroes:

My brothers, Jack Bauer and these guys:
