Now if we could only put a price on life itself, we'd know the real cost of war but, we all know that can't be done. Please think of the victims of war when you breath.

My Interests

Drugs, Agitpop, Staring blankly out of the window of my studio trying to write something that makes sense, participating, not taking shit from anyone who isn't worthy, touching nature and letting it touch me. writing Punk Rock Folk Music, Poetry, drinking at the Whitehorse Tavern in NY, Reading subtitles, the current Dalai Lama, the center of the Earth and the farthest reach of the Universe. My drum set, my guitars, my rain stick, my walking stick, my painting stick, linear functions and differential equasions, my toy piano, Old Don Piano

I'd like to meet:

An American Idol, just one real one please. Wonderful and Gifted Freaks, punk rockers, and artists who use finger paints. Sensitive people (but not certifiable)
Someone who will open my junk mail for me.
I am a sensitive person with a big heart (gag!!) and a passion for life (double gag!!!). No seriously, I really actually like myself and I like what I do. see what I do

I have an amazingly sexy and crazy-beautiful girl friend and we are very much in love. I don't always get back in touch with people quickly and that's cool with my real friends who love me, especially the artists. I am extremely busy creating either music or visual art and I have little time to screw around on myspace but yet, I still manage to spend way too much time on here. People I become friends with on myspace are usually artists of some sort but since everyone has a talent to varying degrees, all are welcome. Another words, I'm not stuffy and you don't have to be an arteest to be my friend. You can check out my visual art at:
