Grrrr, I sometimes get in bad moods.

The Simpsons, American Dad, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Aqua Teens, Arrested Development, Robot Chicken, Happy Tree Friends (you know, I really have a sick, disturbing mind, but I find solace that I'm not the only one ... but I only watch this show on my computer, not my tv), SCTV, Sealab 2021, and South Park.
Books
My favourite A. A. Milne character is Eeyore. But I prefer the non-Disney one.
They Shoot Canoes Don't They?, Blindness, Dante's Divine Comedy, The Little Prince, the Straight Dope, Maus a Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History, the Onion Newspaper, the Wall Street Journal, the Loin's Mouth (because I live in 'Da Loin'), Paradise Lost, Chaucer, Dickens, Waiting for Godot, Shakespeare, The Zombie Survival Guide (Complete Protection from the Living Dead), Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Tropic of Cancer, Stranger in a Strange Land, Steinbeck, Hemingway, Tao of Pooh, Te of Piglet, Tale of Genji, Woman in the Dunes, Ian McEwan, J.R. Rowlings, short stories and haiku.
I'm a cell phone photographer and someday, if I wish hard enough, I'll get a real camera and then all my pictures will come out clear. . . yeah, sure and I'll finally get that darn pony I've always wanted.
What I like doing is to go out (or stay at home) and watch films, I make up words, listen to a variety of music, read a whole buncha buncha, hang out at the Hotel Utah's Open Mic and I complain. . . A LOT. I have a fear of looking up (seriously, I do), a fear of watermelons (go ahead and laugh), and I have a fear of flying/heights. I love walking around San Francisco. Up hills, down hills, to here, over there and back again.
As for what do I look like? Check out my pics. I have short dark brown hair, brown (though slightly crossed) eyes, and I'm as pale as the underbelly of a beluga whale.
I have a very dark/sick/odd sense of humour. I do like trivia, board games, rummaging through music shops, secondhand stores, and bookstores -I can't go in a bookstore without buying at least one book.
I'm also a bit eccentric . . .but just a bit. . . actually, it's my left toe, my right pinky finger and my left eye ball.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet music loving, adventurous, sharp folks with sarcastic wit and fast comebacks. Maybe they'll have an extensive cd and dvd/video collection?
I keep company with a lot skilled musicians. How the hell did I get to know them? Another thing, why haven't they set fire to my apartment building? . . . . . .like that old tootsie pop commercial says . . . "The world may never know".
I have 227 victims, . . . I mean FRIENDS, FRIENDS, . . . yeah, that's it. Okay, sure. . . some of my friends are ZOMBIES, but they're quite pleasant actually.
if depression were to take on human form, i'd give it a big sock in the gut! i think you're just wonderful. it's cool to see you buzzing around in the scene, helping people plug in a venues and the likes. c u soon
