Interests
General
Skateboarding, writing and activism. I'm pretty mediocre at all three. I also dig music more than almost everything else. I prefer LP's to CD's, 7" vinyl over MP3's and despite owning an iPod, I still carry around a bag full of music with me everywhere I go.Music
Drunk dudes with beards. Stinky basement shows. Songs about girls. Whoa oh's and hand claps. Pasty white mopey English dudes. Swirly reverb drenched guitars. Ramones all the time.Movies
Top Movies of All Time: - Empire Strikes Back - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Back to the Future - Ghostbusters - Pretty in Pink - Rocky Horror Picture Show - Breakfast Club - Clerks
I guess you can sum it up like this: Anything John Hughes did in the 80's, Kevin Smith did in the 90's and almost anything Judd Apathow did this decade.Television
Current: - Dr. Who - House - the Office (US and UK) - Ace of Cakes - Lost - Freaks and Geeks - Simpsons (89 - 97ish)Books
authors: Aaron Cometbus, Kurt Vonnegut, Neil Gaiman, H.P. Lovecraft, Harvey Pekar, John Pierson, Ben Weasel, Joe Meno and all the other usual suspects.Heroes
Ryne Sandberg, Steve Albini, Phil Spector, Kevin Army, Danny Vapid, Lance Hahn, Blake Schwarzenbach, Joey Ramone.

About me:
- Northside cheese and beer advocate.- Once, I drank two pints of Okocim while eating a brick of cheddar cheese. Clearly I'm the grossest person you'll ever meet.
- Raging Polski.
- I'm in a band called Tension Generation
- I'm also in a band called the RAD ARMADA, but it's just me and whoever I feel like playing with that week.
- I have friends who are transvestites.
- ..I did a radio show on WLUW called Underground Communique. This will be back at some point in the near future on http://www.chirpradio.org
.. - I work a job that I like and can tolerate.
- I buy a lot of music. A LOT of music.
- One time, a radio station DJ told me I had too much music taste.
- Cheese tastes good on everything. Fully backed.
- Beer tastes good with everything.
- I'm always playing in bands... even when I don't have one.
- I have a Live Journal. Fight me.
- I'm sorta like, a big deal.
Who I'd like to meet:
People who like coffee, conversation and shitty diners.
People who want to start a band of pretty much any variety.
I'm much more interested in people who are genuinely awesome rather than people who are necessarily "punks."
