Thanks. This is kickass

About Me

Chihuahua dogs are not cute, but English Sheepdogs are. Never kill a moth. I like to chew on rose pedals, but don't worry, I don't eat them cause THAT would be weird. I have glasses but hardly ever wear them, and I never never never do a thing about the weather for the weather never ever does a thing for me. I am now certain that I am wholeheartedly and forever addicted to "good times"...that Jim O'Rourke I tell ya. I have a purple braid. I love pumpkin patches. If you ever steal one of my gnomes, I will catch you and shoot you in the face. I'd like to halo a harpoon at least once. "We are the Dead": BEAUTIFUL. Lady Grinning Soul: same. Sweet Thing: same. Absolute Beginners: same. Menonites make excellent cheese. I love the Sanford peel-off China markers. Potato bugs are from Mars...so if you see any....drown them in beer and shake 'em around in a bottle for a bit. I had a Klondike Bar for the first time last week. I love "The Chauffer" by Duran Duran, yes, Duran Duran. I like the way Michael Caine talks. I think that everybody should listen to "i need a sign". "a minor incident" and "epitaph" at least once and infinity at the most. Gary Busey sure has big teeth. "Dancing With Myself" makes me wonderfully happy. I would like to befriend an owl, and I've recently started collecting tree sap. I like blackberries. I love the bucketwoman, and yes, I know all the lyrics to "Green Tinted Sixties" by Mr. Big. I once gave david bowie a karate lesson
I would sell my soul to Michael Jackson

~~Lovely~~
I saw this film several months ago when I stumbled upon it by chance. I instantly took a liking to it, and as of a few weeks ago, have become obsessed with it and its music. It's very beautiful to me..the humor, the grief and the love of it all.

Absolute Love Forever
GBLN KNG................
"And...in the death - as the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare - the shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building - high on Poachers Hill and red mutant eyes gazed down on Hunger City - no more big wheels - fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats and ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers - like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love Me Avenue - ripping and re-wrapping mink and shiny silver fox - now leg warmers - family badge of sapphire and cracked emeralds - any day now - the year of the Diamond Dogs "
