About Me

"Create your own values of culture and put it against the values that you do not like... Just don't complain, don't lapse into the culture of complaint—roll up your sleeves and create your own art, create your own values, create your own cultural values, that's what going to change things."-Werner Herzog I want to hug a bear.Cute Myspace Layouts

"All we have is this moment...right here, right now...the future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today...so be here now...i’m just saying you only get one life. There’s no god, no rules, no judgments except for those you accept or create for yourself and once its over, its over. Dreamless sleep forever and ever so why not be happy while your here? Really. Why not?" -Six Feet Under

Books:

Love Signs by Linda Goodman and art books. I only read novels on vacation these days. "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes,'awww!' " - Jack Kerouac.

Heroes:

I am really, really proud of people who own their own washers and dryers.
