About me: Write much. Watch basic cable. Read books. Space out while you’re talking. Play games. Ride the B, M, R, F and sometimes J. Rock Nintendo and Adidas. Collect comic books and cheap vinyl. Prefer my Russians white. Lose at Scrabble. Win at chess. Spend my night in the company of my eight-year-old son and still feel bad about what I did to you, your sister and/or your girlfriend.
Who I'd like to meet: My personal Jesus, city bike riding enthusiasts, fellow inept parents of six-year-olds, a sexy nanny/maid – preferably one in fear of deportation, Christian conservative right-wing republicans to argue with, an aged black guy who likes playing speed chess in the park, wealthy and generous egalitarians, blog-reading zealots that leave lots of comments, movie, music and/or game nerds, lonely slackers with cable and HDTV, mindless disciples to join my cult, a paintball pursuit fanatic with an extra gun, somebody with a movie camera, bass players and people who enjoy nothing more than burning music CD’s for their new Myspace friends.
Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will, any marriage, happy or unhappy, is infinitely more interesting than any romance, however passionate. W. H. Auden
