I am here for Friends

About Me

Half-americanized european struggling with the fact that a lot of my friends are half-europeanized americans. I am interested in the question of how to lead a Good and Virtuous life while sustaining the maximum possible number of vices.

My Interests

Goodness, Virtue, and Vices.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who is interested in the above question.

Music:

I take mine in sizable doses of The Smiths, Joy Division, The Cure, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, The Shins, The Pixies, Magnetic Fields, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Deathcab for Cutie, The Mountain Goats, and others, far too much in number to mention.

Movies:

Yes, I seem to recall a few like The Third Man, The Big Lebowski, Godfather I and II, Manhattan, Amarcord, The Last Picture Show, Recordacoes da Casa Amarela, and Flash Gordon.

Television:

I use it to watch movies I don't recall and series like Blackadder, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Singing Detective, AlloAllo, and Seinfeld.

Books:

I am not one to burn them, and have been known not to falll asleep while reading Brideshead Revisited, In Patagonia, Os Maias, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, The Sportswriter, Leaves of Grass, A Good Man Is Hard To Find, A Confederacy of Dunces, The World Isn't Over, and Suttree.

Heroes:

My heroes are modest people who prefer to remain anonymous.
