I am here for Friends

About Me

sort of lame.

My Interests

" only in the United States do people fear Iraq. This is a real achievement in propaganda. It's interesting that the United States is so susceptible to this. But, for whatever reasons, the United STates happens to be a very frightened country by comparative standards. Levels of fear here on almost every issue-- crime, immigration, you pick it--are just off the spectrum." as for me...i'm looking to dodge the right wing death squads in colombia. enjoy going from place to place. discussing politics. not having a car. wandering through jungles and mountains. remembering the words of Archbishop Oscar Romero. waiting for america to find a soul again.

I'd like to meet:

"he had sent me to that rich high school hoping that the ruler's attitude would rub off on me as i watched the rich boys screech up in their cream colored coupes and pick up the girls in bright dresses. instead, i learned that the poor usually stay poor. that the young rich smell the stink of the poor and learn to find it a bit amusing. they had to laugh otherwise it would be too terrifying. they'd learned that, through the centuries. i would never forgive the girls for getting into those cream colored coupes with the laughing boys. they couldn't help it, of course, yet you always think, maybe...but no, there weren't any maybes. wealth meant victory and victory was the only reality. what woman chooses to live with a dishwasher?"

Music:

Dvorak, Sam Cooke, wilson pickett, ray charles, northenr soul, Fugazi. Fugazi. Fugazi. got some new favorites....Les Savy Fav and Death From Above 1979.

Movies:

lebowski. fargo. buffalo '66. sexy beast. manufacturing consent. magnolia. elephant man. blue velvet. the deer hunter. bottle rocket. rushmore. punchdrunklove. and the best mockumentary ever made: mail-order-bride!

Television:

"there are limits to my comedy. there are things that uh, i will never laugh at. the handicapped. because there´s nothing funny about them. or any deformity.... yeah. um it´s like when you see someone look at a little handicapped and go 'ohh, look at him, he´s not able bodied, i am. i´m prejudiced.' ....yeah, well, at least the little handicapped fella is able minded... unless he´s not. it´s difficult to tell with the wheel chaired ones. so just give generously to all of them." --best show ever.

Books:

Bukowski. chomsky.

Heroes:

chavez and morales
