Cunts are still running the world

About Me

I'm weird. I talk to myself as I walk down the street. I'm a book whore. I own 7 t-shirts. I shout "metal". If I lived in Europe I'd probably be a football hooligan. I have increasingly bad hairstyles. I'm pretty loyal to have as a friend. I know things. Not the everyday common things. But things like who invented the paper clip and the biggest import of the British Empire in 1830. I'm somewhat smart and can enunciate in the Queen's English when needed. Or the King's, if that's your preference. I really don't like to brag about myself on a website. So deal with it and get to know me.

My Interests

Megaphone crooning. I love the music. Playing, listening, and seeing it. Yelling at myself and others in increasingly bad Chinese. Kung Fu. Cooking. Riding The Golden Child all over the city. Public Transportation smells. History. Playing and watching soccer. Running (for fun or from people). Muscle cars. dogs. Family and friends. That plot to take over the world.

I'd like to meet:

People with lots of pictures of them drunk at the club with "their girls".And those who hate college basketball as much as I do. 'Cause I do. A lot.

Music:

yes. I am also cool.

Movies:

Raiders of the Lost Ark, kungfu movies, Cowboy Bebop, Godfather, the Empire Strikes Back, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Lost In Translation, Anchorman, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, anything by Melville or Wes Anderson, Serenity, Big Momma's House 2.

Television:

Seriously. Who's a big enough douche to cancel Arrested Development?!? It's the best thing on TV. Futurama, The Sopranos, Cop Rock, Carnivale, Deadwood, The Shield, any one of the 7 different Discovery Channels I have, The Food Network, The Daily Show, Simpsons, Adult Swim, um..the Sky Sports EPL Review Show. Oh, and the soccer matches. yeah...I watch soccer.

Books:

I read a lot. As I mentioned eariler, I'm a book whore. Favorites include some with pages, others containing letters. Any Hunter S. Thompson, the Daodejing, Hemingway, any crusty ol' history book, Chinese childrens' books with the big puffy characters that take me 20 minutes to figure out what they mean.

Heroes:

Max Power

Bankrupting yourself to live!! Less rock'n'roll than killing yourself to live....but no mess!

So, I'm going to China. For 3+ weeks in November. It's damn official, and I'm freakin excited. Two massive trips in one year leaves this boy scratch-ass broke, but I haven't been to China in 6 years. ...
