About Me

oakland is ripe with raw materials, hard looks and rabbits. we have a bunny in our front yard. every night at midnight when i come back from returning my work van she is hopping around out there. we call it gretchen. she stands up on her back legs when i approach the house. i say "hi gretchen". only once did she let me pet her, usually she is just checking. just checking. i live in a collective and do shows and make music i am a non conformist with a distain for the opposite. i care about humans in spite of oaklands continual hard looks.herman hess: " If we were not something more than unique human beings and each man jack of us could really be dismissed from this world with a bullet, there would be no more point in relating stories at all. But every man is not only himself; he is also the unique , particular, always significant and remarkable point where the phenomena of the world intersect once and for all and never again. that is why every man's story is important, eternal, sacred; and why every man while he lives and fulfils the will of nature is a wonderful creature, deserving the utmost attention. in each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a saviour is crucified." ..

My Interests

any one remember ernie kovac? if i could ride on a bus between andy kaufman and ernie kovac the world would make more sense. i wonder if the dali lama has had such an experience?
