About Me:
I am every bit as cool as those answers I gave for the books and music make me seem...believe it or not! Oh, and I am 50% Polish (hence, only 50% committed to a life of oppression, cold, and ironic resignation). The other 50% is largely German, rendering me culturally schizophrenic. People have often mistaken me for a "foreigner", which I find extremely complimentary, though I know I have intentionally cultivated this misconception by choosing a style of dress I can only venture to describe as "eurotrash" minus even a modicum of sexiness. Think tiny black Levi's jacket and women's dress shirts. But I don't have a moustache (as pictured) in real life. That was for a special occasion.
I don't ever talk like this (but I do ALWAYS write like this). That is, if you meet me in real life I won't sound like such an arrogant, disingenuously self-depricating, wordy-assed mofo (which isn't to say that I'm not. But, in fact, I'm not.)

Who I Want to Meet:
People not too interested in life's problems...who never
talk about them directly...but for whom these problems
are a CONSTANT UNDERLYING SOURCE OF DREAD
and amusement and the meaning of life.

inadvertently sounded a bit raunchy. what i meant
to say was: those girls sucked. i am drunk. QED.
crazy bumble bee sluts and charge people to
watch.
the buttons, the buttons
scrolling so smooth
like butta on a muffin
all sorts of
angles, at once...many
of which (i think) are imperceptible to
the
great majority of folks. Including
myself :) While there is
what could be interpreted as a strain
of concern that runs through him.....I
think it may just be the appearance of
the process of processing various
info. at once. I suppose that to Alex,
most things are mostly fun and
funny; he has the inclination to make
them that way....
Alex, I will always remember the
argyled duck!
that day we will speak. or just look at each
other... mysteriously. but i will know him
when i see him. even if he is now black.
and fat. i will know him because of his aura
(his aura is very distinct)... like a plantain in
a field of bananas
a good way. though, i don't like acid and i
do like alex... im sure you know what i mean.
he's got the wit of a mental patient, the talent
of an autistic kid who has a lot of talent, the
looks of that guy you see from time to time
hiding behind a camera, and a brain you
just wanna compete with. ... i wish we move
to the same city one day.
the best human beings ever, and I still mean
it.
superballs down his attic stairs.
Perhaps that's a profound metaphor for
the chaotic excess that dominates our
lives: always in motion, always
banging into new people and places,
but always headed down those damn
stairs, inevitably coming to rest at
the lowest possible point. Maybe Alex
could make better sense out of it.
It made a hella great noise.
kick, a rush of masturbatory freedom,
a rebellion without an end. Max
Stirner. Whooo.
