I am here for Friends

About Me

Shy and retiring Buster Colorado was the mistake of two love crazed hippy throwbacks in the early 80s. Picked on in school for his ridiculous hair, he developed a thick skin and the ability to hide absolutely anywhere. A love of [almost] all things arty and a wee bit wussy, Buster sold his soul to makes ends meet pushing paper. In his spare time he is part of the slightly lazy, good-time collaborative trio, 0 with the legendary Kip Crusade and Norwegian genius Reynard Slye. He occasionally writes about himself in the third person. p align=center

Food: a necessary evil

If I wasn't hungry, I don't think I'd eat.  You know...the way you actually need food to survive.  The way you get so hungry that you feel sick or disorientated or faint or see spots or star...

As promised: how to catch every bird in the world

Birds fly away when you approach them.  Even pigeons.  If you happen to be an angry, obnoxious toddler over whom your parents seem to have no control, then especially pigeons.  Alt...

Writing for what exactly?
