i love media. salon.com is my favorite website, followed by metafilter and del.icio.us.

my favorite people are: david lynch (movies), magritte (painting), eric alterman (media crit), laura kipnis (porn and marriage and feminism), slavoj zizek (philosophy and politics and hitchcock). i like other people too, like most of those on my friendster list.

i am one of those people that takes simple things and makes them complicated. i do not think this is a bad thing, like so many other people do. i don't really believe in objective truth, either. everything is subjective and changes depending on your perspective. that said, please don't ask me how to ethically justify the subjective right of misogyny or violence against women. i'm still working on figuring that stuff out. basically, though, i think if we all denied objective truthes and god and stuff like those types of things wouldn't be an issue.

also, i think chemistry and biology are fun sometimes. earlier today i was looking at pictures of the molecular structure of acids.

smart gay guys who are cute. and by cute i have extremely strange tastes that i cannot really figure out. i love brown eyes, though. and as for smart, i don't mean you have to be a total nerd... but i don't mean, either, that "street smart" is a substitution for reading and being critical, ya know?
