Do you know who my brother is? I am pretty much
only cool because of him. Other than that, I am a nerd.
Who enjoys porn and long walks on the beach. Just kidding.
About the long walks on the beach part. Well, actually, I
don't think I have ever taken a long walk on the beach, so
I guess it is possible that I would love it.
But porn is very cool.

I can't meet anyone. I never leave my room. Except to go
to the bathroom. But, if I did meet anyone, I would hope
that they did not conform to conventional morality, that
they would clearly understand the ambiguity of good and
evil, and that they would appreciate porn. And would love
kids
(but not in the way that Michael Jackson might like them).
And would despise Faulkner. And could sleep through noise.
And would
enjoy discussion about farting and pooping just as much
the
contemplation of truth and passionate debate over the
human condition. And would find mediocrity simply
fascinating.
