About Me:
a younger version of michael douglas in "wonder boys" mixed with a bit of zach braff from "garden state" and a spritzing of marcello from "la dolce vita" and more than a dash or two of john cusack from "high fidelity." shake and serve chilled.
i get excited about the fact that i will teach eliot's "love song of j.alfred prufrock" soon. that should indicate that there is something wrong with me.i'm a half step away from blazers with suede elbow patches and looks chock full of consternation. for now, i will make fun of this person...till i become him and lose my sense of humour entirely. have mercy on my soul.
late nights playing roxy music's country life and pulp's
this is hardcore, with my very dear friends mademoiselle
ennui and john jameson and sons and trying to get the
mermaid tattoo on my arm to dance like little pete's girly
tattoo from the adventures of pete and pete.
i do a wicked interpretation of a guest on the jenny jones show as they enter the runway leading up to the stage.
books pile about my room, looking gloomy and half read, they're everywhere, you would have to fight through stacks of them to get to me.
i say "fuck" more than i should. i've made it an artform, i'll slip it in the middle of words when you least expect it. i have the habit of swearing around nuns and babies. i tend to get lee trevino-from-happy gilmore-type looks from people. sorry about the swearing.
i think it's odd that most of george harrison's love songs are written to god and all of jay spaceman's are to drugs. and they're all gorgeous.

Who I Want to Meet:
people who want to play wiffle ball. spoiled priests,
fallen nuns, or at least people who like "father ted."
people who like to buy me drinks. people to play tricks on and or
play tricks with. other professional trouble makers(ie
charlatans, libertines, loose women and pickpockets).
one of the members
of slant 6. people who like to talk about the genius of brain
wilson/james joyce. fellow nerds and dorks. jarvis cocker. jenny lewis. audrey tautou. mr. littlejeans. someone who has a good remedy for insomnia.
and, especially, you. anyone new, the jerz is kind of boring these days.

wrote "prufrock", i too would have been
thrilled to explore it..."mon semblabe,
mon frere!" disons, eliot et moi, nous
nous comprenons.
also, captain murphy is hot.
fact shake it like a polaroid picture
at jen & ashton's wedding, and I have
the photos to prove it. I mean, come
on, what's cooler than cool-matty? Ice
cold, you say? Perhaps.
Valhalla!
to come to mn really soon (the snow is
quickly leaving us due to the 36
degree weather we've been basking in).
come play-- you have a lot of friends
here... maybe kev would even show his
MAC ass up and meghan would start to
cry. we'll talk soon. be good.
