Tbone... About
About T-BONE
My name is T-bone and I’m a suckaholic...it feels good to get that off
my chest. Let the healing begin:
I am originally from a picturesque small town in Vermont, but I now reside
in Boston. I met and befriended Evil Monkey, Presley, Ned, and Megnut in college,
where I majored in Math and Economics. I have been a huge Suckahs fan for a
while and have been known to comment sporadically. At last my voice will be
heard, my strong opinions and convictions shall be vented!
My main area of interest is film. Some of my friends accuse me of being a “film
elitist,” I don’t see myself that way. The fact is that I am not
interested in seeing most of the movies that are put out by Hollywood. I can
still go to the movies for pure escapism (e.g. Bond films). When compared to
the average American movie-goer, I guess I am picky. I can still watch a movie
for pure entertainment, but I usually crave movies that incite thought and discussion.
Maybe my friends are right...
Another passion of mine is music. My tastes lie mostly in classic rock but
I also enjoy a lot of the new bands that are labeled “saviors rock and
roll.” I also play guitar-- I own 2 acoustics (Martin and Yamaha) and
one electric (Fender Strat Squier).
I am the kind of person that tries to avoid trends, especially those of popular
culture. I still refuse to absorb Harry Potter in any medium. However, in some
cases of trends I tend to cave (e.g. cell phones). I guess my feeling is that
if most people like something that doesn’t necessarily make it good—in
fact it makes me extremely skeptical. I do enjoy a lot of the same things that
the masses enjoy-- but then again “Titanic” is the top-grossing
film of all time...I rest my case.
