About Me


i brush my teeth with a pink toothbrush.
i have a recording studio with pink curtains.
i have no sense of self-defense whatsoever.
i have a mobile phone that rarely rings; when it does ring, i rarely answer it.
i have nightmares every single night (that's a highly unwelcome new development).
i have a defective view of the way people should interact with one another; i attribute this to the fact that i was adopted at birth.
i am slowly coming to the realization that people say a lot of things they don't mean at all; i attribute this to the fact that they don't realize that i am paying attention to the words they are speaking (let this serve as a warning: when you speak, i could very well be paying attention to you. i realize that you might not be accustomed to such royal treatment, so i shall try my best to not believe every word you say; however, i am not promising to join those who would rather nod in agreement than attempt to connect with you. if you think you might want to lie more often than not, perhaps we might simply avoid meeting in the first place, okay? okay. please note that this warning is particularly important when you are thinking of using the word "love").
i am easily amazed (sometimes people take advantage of this).
i am not all that amazing (especially to people with short attention spans and insatiable appettites for their own problems).
i like it when someone actually cares enough to be slightly jealous, but i have been known to confuse this with actual love.
i currently have a tornado in my chest (recently upgraded from an F3 to an F4 on the Fujita Scale of Tornado Intensity).
i STILL sleep between three and four hours a night, and i HATE it.
i am a nice guy; not coincidentally, i have finished in last place.
i am easily fooled.
...

My Interests

i am interested in plenty of things, with time travel being at the top of the list.
i am not interested in those of you who conduct yourselves in a manner unbefitting your station in life (i.e., stop acting as though you were raised by wolves... your mothers would be horrified by such behavior; a nice start would be to for you to put on some clothes and stop demanding that the attention of the world--be it positive or negative--be paid exclusively to you).

I'd like to meet:

who would i like to meet? let's see...
a. i'd like to meet anyone who has the ability to carry on a conversation for an hour or so without giving me the distinct impression that they are lying about one or more things.
b. someone who knows the difference between the words "love" and "like."
c. someone who doesn't secretly dream of being radically different than they appear to be.
d. someone who isn't so obsessed with their own appearance/public image/popularity that they forget what actually matters in life.
e. the inventor of time travel, assuming they'll be willing to share.
f. someone who believes in me for real, especially when i am least wonderful (i believe the traditional terminology is "for better and for worse, in sickness and in health."

am i asking too much? probably CORRECTION: I have tested that last question extensively and I have reached a definitive conclusion: yes, yes i am indeed asking for way, way, way too much, particularly in relationship to letters b and f as listed above.

Music:

makes me want to drive my car off a fucking bridge. nevertheless, i somehow find it impossible to ignore. i suppose "ignore" is a bit short of the truth; no, i don't just consume it, i also create the stuff. Need proof? Okay, ye of little faith, click this:
PBS
When I am not insulting the very idea of songwriting, singing and playing guitar, i play the drums in a band that actually understands what it means to be a band (i.e., we have fun--though you might not get that impression based on our currently posted demos):
RECON
More? I also own a music store:
EAST COAST MUSIC
Finally (as if those weren't enough) I own a recording studio:
EGGHUNT RECORDING

Movies:

it might be lame is totally stupid for me think this way (let alone admit it in public), but pretty much all you need to know about my life is (unfortunately) summarized by this movie:

Television:

Mad Men, Family Ties, Shark Week and anything playing at Niko's house.

Books:

don't help, but i'll keep trying.

Heroes:

sleeping pills, on the rare occasion that they actually help. anyone who invents time travel and would be willing to share its secrets with me (I needn't travel far, just a year or three... okay, maybe ten years, tops).

Things Happening.

Clearly, things have been changing here at Sominex Central--some for the better, some for the worse (and worser). Won't go into the worse stuff--the involved already know, the uninvolved needn't troub...

On second thought...

...maybe that last one was a bit harsh? Maybe? I dunno. What I do know is that I don't want to come off sounding increasingly stick-in-the-muddish; at times I wonder if I am morphing into some kind of...

So, um, yeah...

   I've been gone. So what, right? Well, at least I have a good excuse this time: I bought the music store in which i've worked for the last six years. Yep, that's what i did. Not the smarte...

What a fucking weirdo.

I have finally become one of those assholes who claims to hate MySpace but still lacks the requiste nerve for abandoning it. Making matters worse, I know damned well that it really isn't the fault of ...

No, i wasn't kidding...

...I reeeeeally am looking for a bass player and a real guitar player (to augment my own shitty guitar-mangling). See last blog for details, and don't be shy. ....

i am starting a band, etc.

So, i've been out/off/gone/etc. i see that many of you are still around--this is a good thing only made bad by the fact that i've been so incredibly not around. If you don't know me and/or you don't ...

-me: stupid.

I just posted an incredibly mundane blog with the word "absence" misspelled twice; thank God for the ability to edit.
