About Me:
I was born. I might die.
Those're facts. The rest is compelling fiction. Choose one
or feel free to utilize any combination:
I'm twenty-three years old and I write. I try to
spend time in at least two different cities every month and
I am not a vegetarian even though I think I
should be and I carry a Mead Five-Star with me everywhere
and if you try to take it from me I will kill you just by
looking at you.
I plan to re-shape popular culture using comic books and
poetry. I am delusional. I like most things that aren’t
painful, boring, or covered in snakes. I dislike pain,
boredom and snakes. Do you want more??
I'm like Jesus for bad people.
I go to coffeeshops and I ride the bus and I read books by
authors who are still alive because I write and I am still
alive and I want people to pay me the same courtesy. I like
doing pull-ups. They are good for my self-esteem. I rope-a-
dope the evil with righteous bobbing and weaving. My name
is Dan Solomon and I have self-applied the title Man Of
Action! as a suffix to my name in order to remind myself to
stay busy. It works for me but it might not for you.
You are as cool as you think you are. Let's be friends.

Who I Want to Meet:
Black out the windows. It's party time. I want to meet
people who can talk. Or stick to walls. I want to trade
very good mixtapes to people for their homemade artwork.
People with immense talent and false humility.
How well can we get to know each other in an hour? We can
fight the daylight. We have that power.

His superhero powers may just rub off
on you, like he's Frylock or something.
Dan is one badass dude. Dan rules.

bitches can beat that. (Dan lets me
promote myself in his Friendster
testimonial, take 803!)

doesn't like it when I howl at his
neighbors and always loses pillow
fights. Despite these glaring
personality flaws, he is my hardcore
Jesus and I swoon for him. He knows
what to say to a man in little pants
and he can climb things almost as well
as my imaginary monkey, Ferdinand. Dan,
you are the greatness despite the fact
that you enjoy The Darkness.

FUCKING RULES SO, SO HARD. And I will
speak other words in the future, if I
feel they are warranted.

Why cant everyone be like him?

That's DIRECT CONNECTIONS. I have many
more new friendster cousins.
At one point in time Dan and I shared
the name Student Askew. It was hard to
see where SA ended and we began. Even
now I wonder how that phase of life
changed us both. Will our paths meet
creatively again in such a satisfying
way? It's hard to say, but we're both
still young. Who knows what the future
will bring...
favorite people to talk to. he's
intelligent to the nth degree, and
he's constantly amazing me and the
crew with his infinite wisdom on a
wide variety of topics.
this is the real deal. be friends with
him.
already. seems like you have become a
personal messiah to some. well, here i
come, strolling out of the past and out
of oblivion, one messiah to another and
say 'well met'. Dan seems to spring in
and out of my life with no apparent
rhyme or reason, although i have not
applied the chaos theories nor the
linguistics to it yet. But i can say
that he tends to be around when things
are spinning positive for yours truly,
so he does not have to see the
bullshit, for which i am glad. Dan is
dedicated. Dan is motivated. The man of
action. i like that. in that case i
will be the act of mansion. he keeps
spilling the words, spilling the truth,
living the dream, painting our dreams
and nightmares and i remember we both
used to listen to nine inch nails while
we slept to see what kind of traumas we
could inflict on our subconscious'. i
remember when we were young walking and
telling dan that i wished to embark on
a series of psychedelic reimprinting
involving salvador dali, incense, black
tape for a blue girl, and caffeine. at
this time i didn't know what
psychedelic meant. to this day when i
hear black tape for a blue girl i smell
incense, and i feel like i'm falling.
to all of this he didn't blink an eye.
dan was around at the beginning, at the
inception/conception of me and
everything that i now am. we created
ourselves together. you existed while i
created strange timeless worlds of
beauty and romance where i now spend
most of my time, and you are there.
always have been, always will be.
Connected. Brethren. i will refrain
from saying Dan's the man. maybe
instead 'damn the man'.
remember, man, "we were born before the
wind/also younger than the sun"

I told him, "Fuck that, you gotta fight
the bear with a tomahawk that you stole
off of some old Indian (oh, excuse me,
Native American) guy." And he
concurred. That's why I love him.
Because he understands sometimes you
gotta FIGHT the bear.
