Hello. Welcome to my website. It started while I was in Europe for a semester, and I've kept it up since then. I'm now at the University of Chicago Law School, living in Hyde Park, and the story continues. If you want to say hi or visit me, email cfloyd at uchicago dot edu.

I listen to internet radio these days because there's all kinds of great channels and because I'm tired of buying CDs. A lot of the stations are really good, and some are just plain weird. Many of them originate in Korea. You can look at ShoutCast to check out some stations. Every musical taste is there.
Some random stuff:
I have many things I really love. I love steak. And I love yogurt. I wouldn't put steak and yogurt together. I love Victoria's Secret. I love Bob Dylan. But some bright bulb had the smooth inspiration of putting them together! Honestly, have you seen this commercial? I mean, Bob Dylan's America's greatest living songwriter, but I don't think that some well-preserved musician from the 1960s is who you want selling your cutting edege lingerie. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think of "Shelter from the Storm" when I see a thong string sticking out of low-rise jeans.
I think there should be more backup singers in music, and in life in general. Backup singers always improve a song, so why wouldn't they improve other aspects of life? Think of the possibilities!
Can a gay man also be a metrosexual, or is a metrosexual by definition straight and only seem gay? Or does a metrosexual even seem gay, or is it just a function of dressing well? I know I'm about two years behind on this, but I'm still curious.
The weather here is a tease. Warm, cold, warm, cold. So I'm fooling Weather into staying warm by dressing like it's 35 even when it's 70. That'll teach that SOB.
Isn't it weird about Samuel L. Jackson? He was the coolest motha ever in 'Pulp Fiction.' No more. Now he just caricatures that performance in his roles. Bummer.
I heard some Björk today (yeah, the internet radio thing). I had almost forgot all about Björk. In case you also forgot about Björk, I just want to remind you all, Björk is weird.
I got on Friendster a week or so ago. It was exciting at first, but now it's boring. It should have some sort of game or elimination function on it. Maybe we could rate who is really deserving of friendship and who is destined to go through life alone. That would also be a great TV show.
