I’m an optimistic realist. By that, I mean: I’ll probably get raped again... but I spend most of my time in Seattle now, so at least this time he’ll have money.
Born into the most meager of circumstances, I spent my childhood scraping by with practically nothing in the upper middle class. In high school, I was a hack. I was sheltered growing up, but made up for it post-high school. I’ve done things my suburban counterparts couldn’t dream of (or if they did dream of it, they might want to stab their mind’s eye out).
I am dark in humor, pale in skin tone. I find nothing funnier than taking things seriously, maybe because I did that for so long. Honest emotional suffering is the comedy of the gods.
The important thing is to not judge people. Unless they’re idiots.

Me & My unborn child that I keep in a jar in the fridge. I want to keep him fresh so he can one day become the prince of Bel Air. That’s retarded. Why did I write that, EVER? More importantly, now that you know I hate it, why will I KEEP IT?

General
Nothing spells homecoming romance to me more than a giant burger being shoved into the mouth of a 16 year old, soon-to-be-rufied girl in a dress more expensive than her ipod. At least then she's not talking.
Music
Noise put to rhythm
Movies
I grew up on movies. I like any movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. I was disappointed in "The Constant Gardner." I was expecting a non-stop horticultural thriller.
Television
Books
They make great kindling.
I like anything by Vonnegut. He warms my soul particularly well. And my extremeties.

Here's something about some other people (and me): A few comedic "shorts" written, directed & edited by "ClarketheVogt Productions." Watch them at work on headphones because they're 8 minutes long-ish, so they'll pass a significant amount of your day away from that dungeon of a file room. There's more on the way. Stop being so pushy. Hope you like them!
The ancient race of sentient dinosaur people living on the constallation draco, ripping our society apart internally by use of shapeshifting hybrid lizard people whose job it is to incite racial and religious wars, so I can kick them in the nuts and call them chicken for not just eating us instead. YOU ARE FUCKING DINOSAURS, NOW STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD.
but enough about them...
