Cutting up dead animals. I also blame my dog for my newfound stability, so she gets all of my waking attention (except right now....typing....of course). I really am a butcher, so she's spoiled. And books are sweet. Mostly I just sit on my front porch until I decide to do something, anything. My impulsive behavior often leads to illegal activities of the offensive sort.

MST3K, and any movie I can imrovise an MST3K to. You don't want to watch movies with me. I talk a lot. I also adore Clint Eastwood and Steve McQueen.

Metal, Country, psychobilly, rockabilly (all the 'billies.), old school blues, big band, and college radio oddities. Athens is so packed with music, so every show features excellent bands of totally different genres. It works, that way. That's probably why I love radio so much.

Right now, Roald Dahl's "Skin: and other stories" for adults. I just finished "The Glass Castle" By Jeanette Wells, which was intense and hit too close to home, and also Bill Buford's book "Heat", which is eternally awesome. The creation of this thing we call "food" has become more of an obsession since finding this book. It's like working in a close-knit kitchen, so close that you can recognise the individual farts of each person you work with, due to proximity. I identify. I wonder if I would be any different had I not read Dahl's children's books as a child. . . Augusten Burroughs and T.C Boyle. Neil Gaiman, Edward Abbey, Ecodefense, Tom Robbins, David Sedaris, Nikki Giovanni, Brothers Grimm, Mark Twain, National Geographic, T.C. Boyle, Peterson Field Guides, Xenophon, Chuck Palahniuk, Gargantua &; Pantagruel (Rabelais), JD Salinger, Calvin &; Hobbes, Dave Eggers, Pogo (Walt Kelly comic), The Onion, The ever-entertaining Athens Banner-Herald: "BOGART - More than 50 firefighters from Oconee and Clarke counties battled a blaze on the county line for hours Thursday afternoon and evening, but didn't know what caused a carpet and welding business to burn to the ground." Also, "How to use: Eat 40 grams of fiber per day by starting your day with a big bowel of oatmeal or cereal with at least 5 grams of fiber per cup."

Smily, Stable, Intelligent and loner types. Travellers. People who can actually carry out big ideas, or at least attempt to. Evidently, solitude, too. Maybe I'm just stuck in small-town Georgia with limited options.

Idiots and stoners. Dreamers like myself. People who can't spell, or those who speak with really terrible grammar. Pudge is hot, but obesity scares me.

I like having a huge mouthful of raw oysters and homemade hot sauce (see picture at left).

I like these things and more:
Spontaneous Combustion. I love trains and being everywhere &; nowhere. Fine kitchen goods and, especially, high quality cutlery. Women with shitty cars, who know how to fix them. Firearms. Tree frogs. I love my enterohepatic circuit. I also enjoy reading as many forms of writing as possible. Ginger and Garlic, bitches! It is unfortunate that I can only read and speak english. I need to get to work on that one. I like trains, again. I get naked often. I like living in the woods. I looooovve wine and good tobacco. I'm currently trying on a few occupational options regarding organic meat farming, farm-to-table sustainable restaurant business, or collaborationg on a free range, natural butcher shop.
