good lit... good conversation... dinner... people who know how to curse... movies with plots, scripts and good dialogue...

To my man RSB... yo, he's non stop; And to DAS and Siu you know they nonstop; Yo that girl Siouxsie, yo, she's non-stop; and to Cecelia B.B. you know she's non stop; And that negro Dan Freeman yo he's non stop; And to my cousin Tim L., you know he's non-stop; My siblings Kelli and L.R. yo, they non-stop; And to my man Aaron Dietz, you know he's non-stop; And my man Vernon E. yo he's non-stop; And my man Russell you know he's non stop...
About me: I am The Joker, who sees deeply and too much.
Preoccupied and dedicated to the preservation of the motion of hips.
I think you know the rest.
Who I'd like to meet: People who ask why because it matters. People who are interesting in lasting ways (intellect, sincerity, depth, warmth...). People without vapid glam shots and are not obsessed with their appearance. People who actually know what intelligent conversation is. People who know enough to make sure their profiles are Safari friendly. People who know what Safari is. People who read/think/live outside the box.
People who are Everyday People. =D
People who know they deserve to be accepted and not just tolerated. People that can think objectively. People who'll eat soul food with me. People who've got grandmothers that cook soul food. People who will invite me over to sample Grandma's yams, collard greens and stuff.
Other than that, all your average heathens, whores, outcasts, and social misfits are welcome.... BUT NO IRISH!
Wanted to say thank you very much for being you and being a friend. Wishes that you get to spend Thanksgiving with friends, family, loved ones, and/or those who you are thankful for.
Interesting picture. I'm so glad you're not some chicken-chested freak of a guy ;) Bony men make me gag. *squeezes your Meta-Arm* I'll be watching the swearing in later with my kids. You have a great day, dear.
Mix tapes throughout the years have generally been themed around particular eras, genres, or eras in a specific genre; sometimes they focus on specific artists, technical abilities, or in their lowest form, a presentation of new songs, oftentimes not even mixed, but accompanied with plenty of shouting.
Appetite for Deconstruction should be consumed in its entirety as a complete work, not just a series of songs chained together through scratching and mixing. By ripping apart and recombining various styles, some of which seem at odds with one another, we find something new.
In short, this is the essence of Hip-Hop. New Order and INXS, if presented within the correct context, can be equally 'Hip-Hop' as Nas or Run DMC. After all, what was "Rock Box" about? Enjoy!

RE: Karsten is noticing how between the months of Oct and Mar most women go from Single to Seeing Someone....
I always thought the opposite was true...it is around this time that women get dumped by guys trying to avoid going to the parents house for Thanksgiving, exchanging gifts at Christmas, being tied down on New Years and gift giving on Valentine's Day...I am sure you can catch some poor woman on the rebound...LOL
