I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm the sort of guy you've been warned about. Except possibly worse. Mainly because I'm a pretty good salesman, so not only might I destroy your psyche and own your person both mentally and physically, but you may leave with a handful of things you never intended to own.Actually, I'm just Jon. I work on developing as many love/hate relationships as possible. Please note that since I go by Jon (as opposed to my birth name Jonathan) I fully expect you to understand the lack of "H" in my name. I am much more than some toilet, let alone some prostitute's client.

My Interests

I'm interested in the usual, I suppose. Music, Not Working, Movies, Books (when I'm not lazy), Language.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who isn't dumb to their core. At least anyone who can be taught certain things, and once learned, is no longer dumb to their core. For those that are in a state of eternal coredumb, I'll probably only be interested in sex. The problem with that statement is that true coredumb would prevent you from knowing how obvious a sexual invitation that was. And just for the record, these accusatory notes about intelligence should in no way make you infer that I am on some higher plane of intellect. I know many people (unpublished friends we're speaking of here) smarter than me.As a side category of people I'd like to meet, I'd say I want to meet people that are interested in music at least half as much as me.

Circo de Chino

I can't say that I wasn't warned. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed they had changed the puke green marquee sign in front of the trailer that the town knows as the Chino Valley Chamer of Commerce. ...

Great. Just great......

Thanks to Mr. Bell's ever so slight nudge back into the fray, I've been forced to listen to nothing but Ryan Adams for what I can only guess will be a period of at least 6 weeks. That's about how lon...

All aboard...

I'm so tired of reading reviews on Rolling Stone. Why do I still do it? I think it's the search for the occasional review that I actually agree with. I was just about to recommend Blue Merle's ne...

You Don't Mess Around With Jim

I'm beginning to theorize that I may well have been Jim Croce in a past life.  It's just that everytime I have something I feel needs to be said, he's said it.  Everytime there's something I...

Clarify, and I don't mean butter

I suppose it's unfair to complain about your wounds when it's only your mundane amount of curiosity that ever brings you close enough to the battle lines to sustain these injuries in the first place. ...
