About Me

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it. Thanks, Rob Brezsny. I am a picture framer in the daytime, painter, piano player, and writer of poetry at night. I like to talk to interesting people. I like to go on long walks downtown. I like to play on my computer. I like people who have open and logical minds.

My Interests

Painting, piano, science, writing music, string theory & time/relativity, climate change, the universe we live in, people, places, and things...architecture, sociology, and writing. Interests are sometimes questions. Mine are; do animals have souls? Do plants feel pain when you cut them? Why do we have wars instead of respect and understanding?

Painting is what I like to do more than anything else. Here are photos of some of my paintings

Life is a garden, not a road. We enter and exit through the same gate, wandering. Where we go matters less than what we notice. ~ Bokonon

When fascism comes to America it will come wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. ~ Sinclair Lewis

I'd like to meet:

Those with warm and tender glows.

Music:

Everything from Pet Shop Boys/Erasure to Enya to flamenco to classical to blues to rock/pop--even 70's, 80's pop and dance. Confess to still liking some 70's disco, Shame on me.

All About Eve, Delores Claiborne, Short Cuts, The World Changes, Hero, My Favorite Launderette, Waiting For Guffman, Lust in The Dust, all John Waters movies, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Ruthless People, These Are The Damned, Fedora, The Fountainhead, and Whatever Happened To Baby Jane.

Stop the Wars

Television:

Nova and other science shows....also like good character acting in sitcoms. I like Nova AND Mama's Family. I also like old Twilght Zone episodes, shows like Kids in The Hall and Mystery Science Theater, old Saturday Night Live episodes (Jane, you ignorant slut...) and History and Discovery channels.

Non-Judgment Day is near

Books:

Tales of The City, In Cold Blood, To Kill A Mockingbird, Of Human Bondage, Silent Spring, Consenting Adult, and the collected poems of Dylan Thomas.

We are all links in a chain

WITHDRAWING

No, I am not withdrawing from the race for president. I still intend to win this election. I am baffled that anyone could even consider not voting for me.The kind of withdrawal I am addressing is pe...

I AM NOT A CROOK

Well, there is one thing I have a slight problem with that some people might consider a little crooked. I love to steal ink pens. Anytime someone hands me a pen to, say, sign a credit card receipt, ...

PRESS CONFERENCE

Apparently none of you watched my press conference last night on WLOL channel 735. Despite the fact it was the only broadcast in television history to get a 0 rating, I am not discouraged. WLOL did ...

UNDERSTANDING GREATNESS

I live in a city associated with kings. Memphis was named for a regal city--the ancient capital of Egypt. Elvis was, of course, "the King." And we have the great B.B. King. Tonight I want to talk ...

CHANGE THE MESSAGE

Our society has progressed, but not enough. When I was young, I felt compelled to participate in the derision of homosexual people in order to protect myself. The important thing is the galvanizatio...

LIFE DISCOVERED ON PLANET EARTH

When I posted my last blog (IT IS TIME FOR A REVOLUTION), I was convinced our society had gone to hell in a handbasket and all humanity had disappeared from the planet. Well, our society has gone to h...

IT IS TIME FOR A REVOLUTION
