I am Whimsical, Geeky, and whimsical... again!.

My Self-Summary

My name is Foley. I work as a computer technician for B&H photo. It's very boring, but they pay me better than Foleys should ever be paid and it gives me time to do my artwork. I went to SVA for animation, and I do a webcomic (www.dinglecomic.com). I do a kind of comedy/rant spoken word performance every once in a while, and oh yea: I'm also a giant geek (The reads too many comics and plays 16 bit video games all the time type... Not the sideshow act that bites the heads of chickens or anything).

I am a NY kid born and raised, I spend a lot of time sampling different bars on 2nd avenue. I also love sitting at home with a movie/TV show, good friends, and a few beers. I love adventures, but I'm also pretty easily entertained.

Mi espanol es muy horrible, creo que no debes hablar con mi en espanol. Mi ingles es mas mejor.

What I’m doing with my life

I am having fun.
It pisses me off how so many people will keep on working to die. You bust your ass in highschool to get into a good college, bust your ass in college to get a good post-grad, which you bust your ass during to get a good job. You bust your ass at work to get a promotion so you can have a family, bust your ass more so the kids of said family can go to a good highschool/college and then when you turn around and your 60 or 70 and all your kids are finally done with you... You can what? Have a really nice funeral with all your money? Screw that.

Not to say I have no ambitions, I have a lot of goals for down the road... but I don't see the point in taking the road trip if you're not having fun at roadside attractions.

I’m really good at

Mario-Kart. I also like to argue, I like to make people laugh (I especially like to make them laugh while they argue). I'm constantly trying to learn more about the human experience, every time I talk to someone it is the chance to learn something new.
I enjoy friendships and nights of drunken commissary. I also enjoy travelling, whether it be to Peru or just the south side of brooklyn: Fun is fun, and sometimes plans are for suckers.

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm rarely serious, and even when I am it seems people never know if I'm just setting them up for a punchline... I think this is the way it should be.

Also I wear glasses.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Don't be a liar. God knows if you want to talk to me and see something listed here you've actually read/seen/heard about, you can just go change your profile to add it in now... Hell the site prompts you to do it!

I like reading hardboiled noir, cyberpunk, suburban fantasy... really geeky things

i love comedies: dark, bright, retarded, or otherwise

Right now I'm on a big gogol bordello kick

I eat pizza about 5 days a week...

The six things I could never do without

Friends, food, beer&cigarettes, water, sexual release, and growth

... It just occurred to me that water came after beer&cigarettes... This list in not in order of importance.

...I think

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Whether or not we as a people have free will or if it's really just an equation of genetics versus stimuli so complex we haven't figured it out yet. If it's late at night and I'm drunk and lonely I might also being thinking about Boobies. I have duality like that.

On a typical Friday night I am

Don't know, might be getting drunk with my friends at our favorite bar, might be singing horrible Karaoke in the basement of some Japanese restaurant, might be at home playing "Communist Pictionary" with the suite-mates. I never really have tentative plans, usually you can ask me to come hang out and I can find a free hour or two.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I am a huge geek.
As in during the first week knowing me you WILL find yourself thinking (and prolly saying at least once) "God Foley, but sometimes you're a huge geek!"

You have been warned.

You should message me if

A: You want to grab a beer. This does not mean i want to go out with you/get in your pants... I like meeting new people and I find getting drunk with someone once teaches you more about the person than you would grabbing coffee with them 10 times... It's social interaction in Fast Forward; It's fun!. It's also not a big deal.

B: Your message will prompt me to answer back, good conversation is hard to find.

C: You're bored, it always feels good when I have mail in my inbox

D: You managed to describe your musical tastes without using the word "eclectic" (even if it's true).

E: Left to my own devices I am a creature of habit. I get pizza from the same place every day at work, I go to the same bar every Monday night (and the bartenders already have my usual drink waiting for me), etc.
Not that I necessarily think there's anything wrong with "having the usual"... but I honestly like to try new things, I just tend to need someone to suggest them to me: This is where you come in stranger!
