About me:

..I believe in cause and effect, gravity and closing my eyes before the flop. I believe humans can be gracious and evil, charming and vicious, demanding and forgiving unless you pay them what you owe them. I think the government is like a step father, no matter how good it is you still dont want it doing your mama. I've lost more than I've won but I still feel lucky. I like to dance with my wife at night on an empty bridge humming a Violent Femmes tune. I like to get high with Bullets and talk baseball while listening to classic rock. I like my cats, George and Simone. If I had three wishes, I would wish for an end to fear, hunger and disease. I mean if someone else was listening. If no one else was listening well let's just say my third wish would be for three more wishes. I think I should look at today as a gift that loses its value tomorrow. I believe competence is the indispensable component of integrity. I wish I had sixteen million four hundred and fifty-two thousand three hundred and forty-six dollars and nineteen cents. And a backyard. I've lived in Los Angeles, New York City, Tampa and San Jose. But I can't wait to get back to Amsterdam. And Dublin. And Paris. And Baghdad. I like rollercoasters and concerts, after-partys and church picnics. I used to jump out of planes in the Army and it scared the shit out of me. I made a movie with a friend of mine and maybe you'll see it one day. I can breakdance. And if I had to do it all over again I'd try to be more honest. See you at the show.

Who I'd like to meet:

Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt. Hunter S. Thompson, John Steinbeck, David Mamet, Mark Twain, Mary Magdalene, Benjamin Franklin, Jack Kerouac, Bob Dylan, Anne Frank, Henry Rollins, Shakespeare, Robert Frost, Malcolm X, Dante Alighieri, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Gandhi, Barry Goldwater, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jesse James, Howard Roark, My mother's mother, Jesus and the Devil together, so I could ask them who they would like to meet.
