I'm a complete music addict. I'm a big geek, although I try to deny it sometimes. I like anything from beer and pizza, to tapas and martinis. I read a good bit, from novels to pulp short story compilations and everything in between. I always seem to be the person trying to have an intelligent conversation about politics, religion, society and it's issues, but no one's interested or comfortable getting into the discussion. I adore film from the late 30's/40's/50's, the bad B movies even before they get crowned with the cult status, really bad horror movies, and even the campy 80's movies. Not to say that I don't like some modern films, but there's just sometimes that the old stuff really hit their niche. Oh, and I love going to shows no matter who's playing. I'm a Red Sox fan.

Being Dad, and finding things to do to entertain myself at work while I wait for something to happen. Going to two or three shows a week at a local joint because I like seeing the bands who're putting their stuff in the drummer's van and taking it on the road to get their sound out.

making mix discs (although I have a secret desire to go back to making mix tapes, I need to work on that whole audio out into a tape deck thing), being somewhat awkward, and typically spazzing out or saying something inappropriate. Like bringing up fisting while talking to your mom about her china patterns.

I'm also pretty good at scrobbling what I listen to. If you're on last.fm and are down with a new music influence, feel free to add evilrobert as a friend up there. (I'm also pretty good at being oddly incompatible with people musically on there somehow.)

that I'm awake. Then they notice I'm large sized, except without the large fries that come with the combo.

(A) It's too hard to narrow down books, so I'll just go with who I read. Bruce Sterling, William Gibson, Oscar Wilde, Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson, Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Ginsberg, Franz Kafka, Ferlinghetti, John C. Holmes, Asminov, Ken Kesey, Piers Anthony, Neal Stephenson, so on and so forth. I'm not even going to include graphic novels and the sort, since there's already enough there for an idea. Oh, and Ed Brubaker stuff. Yea, he's a comic book writer, but he also wries these awesome scripts for web shows too.

(B) I already blew my genre load sooo. It's example time. Some Like It Hot, Philadelphia Story, Nosferatu, Vanishing Point, Easy Rider, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver. I think Juno's the one of the recent crop that have stood out to be something other than a "generational" movie. Maybe it's just me. I'm also strangely excited by the fact that My Bloody Valentine is getting released as a remake. Just something about the 1980's gore horror movies, and the fact that you can't screw up a remake of that movie. Unless it's less violent, which in modern society, puh-lease. The original movie never would have been cut to meet R standards in modern day. Hello Saw series!

(C) To make it short and sweet, because the list is heavy and long, I listen to anything except for gospel. Mostly I listen to indie and shoegaze, britpop and twee, industrial and ebm (remnants of earlier goth days), a dash of electro, synthy stuff, and a mix of electronic from house to trance. And Morrissey. Live small venue shows are the way to go too.

Sleep, food, beverage of some sort, something to read, someone to talk to, and my son.

If Kant, Einstein, Kirkegaard, and Voltaire were at a bar together, who would be the one that ordered the shots of tequila first?

I will never say the word "Procrastinate" again; I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed.

doing one of the following: Working, at a show, or at a Loose Lips/WeOK crew dance party sweatin my ass off to the beats.

I drink absinthe and watch Project Runway. Watch out Oscar Wilde. And I'm growing kind of fond of the funk-bag name listed in the examples on this thing. I'm also a comic book junkie.

I also want a shoe horn. The kind with teeth. People should get beat up for stating their beliefs

you snickered or grinned at the fact I randomly inserted TMBG lyrics; if you concur that you should never be too old to dance, or if you're looking for an excuse to get out of the house (and/or dance).
