I like reading, writing, all that jazz. I also like to pick fights with little kids to raise my self esteem. You should try it: you almost always win, unless you choose foolishly and pick one with a little gumption.

Movies
I like lots of movies but I'm too lazy to type them. And let's be honest - you don't care anyway, do you?
Television
TV rots your brain. Unless you watch really good stuff like Ghosthunters, The Office, South Park, OZ, Da Ali G Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Seinfeld.
But I still watch Real World, True Life, Made, America's Next Top Model, and even My Super Sweet Sixteen.
I suck.

About me: Visit www.bookworship.blogspot.com where I rave (but more often rant) about everything I read. (Cover blurbs are deadly if taken seriously.)
Stop by and check out the site if you are hoping to find something that interests you. Chances are, you'll find something to avoid; chances are better that you'll find something to disagree with. It wouldn't be the first time. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Been a while since I've been on here. I like the changes, mostly. Thank you for sticking around during my long absence. Hope you have a great rest of the week.
Marci Baun Publisher Wild Child Publishing -- http://www.wildchildpublishing.com/ Break free...read wild! Halloween is over, but you can still be scared. Read our horror. http://www.wildchildpublishing.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=71
The new issue is available for purchase at our website: www.absurdistjournal.com/current.htm
Issue #8 demonstrates why this journal has been hailed as the figurehead publication for absurd and surreal literature. Throughout these pages readers will find a man with an endless supply of money in his pockets, a nun who finds teeth in her ice cream cone, and a giant mechanized Michael Ironside stalking the streets of Galveston, Texas. Readers will also find the apocalypse as experienced by the cast of Friends and a race of chickens that enslaves a man and forces him to eat the last egg ever to be eaten. No one theme or tone dominates this issue. Some stories feature mindless violence or irreal nonsense. Others display sharp cultural satire or brain-tingling wordplay. At a time when most fiction serves up the standard fare of realism and common sense, issue #8 offers a zany feast for the ravenous imagination.
Includes stories by Sam Pink, Blake Butler, D. Harlan Wilson, Rhys Hughes, Ofelia Hunt, Cameron Pierce, Mike Young, Matthew Simmons, Darby Larson, Aaron Sitze, and Adam Breckenridge.
