About Me

Ya know how when you look at a chain link fence for a long time and then it simultaniously looks close and far...

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

surfing, motorcycles, the photography of Edward Burtynsky

I'd like to meet:

I bet Sun Ra could tell me something interesting.

Music:

Something for every mood. Oddities. Some forever favourites are Nation of Ulysses, Leonard Cohen, the last two Lifetime albums, Cap 'n Jazz, Astral Weeks, Os Mutantes, Love, the And/Fall On Proverb 45, Adorable, Suede, Gram Parsons, The Van Pelt, Fugazi, Embrace,....Pizza Party just turned me on to this Ariel Pink fellow and I've been liking that more every spin.Saw The Tyde the other night and I'm sold on that sea side sound.

Movies:

Wim Wenders, Coen Bros., Wilson/Anderson, Some David Lynch (Blue Velvet), and a new favourite, FUBAR. Some others along the way like Happiness, Lost In Translation, In The Bedroom, Office Space, and old ones too like Young Frankenstein, Sabrina, Roman Holiday, Weekend, Touch of Evil, L'Avventura, and on gloomy rainy days I like droning oddities like Sans Soleil, Dog Star Man, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, and Wings of Desire. Oh, and documentary films too.

Television:

Sometimes I like to watch it and other times I like to throw things at it from the couch like books and lamps. Beer bottles (Pabst Blue Ribbon particularly) too, but only after five o'clock.

Books:

"Once" photos by Wim Wenders, Sexus, and Frankenstein have been long time favourites. Now that I'm with April, I tend to raid her library alot. She has alot of history, philosophy, and religion stuff. I read Classic Bike Magazine too, but only at Borders because I refuse to pay eight dollars for it.

Heroes:

you have to be careful with those
