I'd like to meet:

Ghosts who give good advice.

Music:

I like the music. It occupies most of my time, when I'm not being lazy. Which is a luxury I'm finding myself without more and more of the time these days. Mostly busy with schooling for music right now. Formerly spent time as a member of eio and prior to that the mighty esau. Thinking of avoiding bands that begin with e from now on.

Movies:

I like the films, too. David Lynch, especially. And documentaries. Wes Andersen. Daron Aronofsky. 'Benjamin Smoke'. You know...stuff.

Television:

Twin Peaks. Of course.

Books:

John Irving is my man. and EE Cummings. William Carlos Williams. Henry Miller. Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Anais Nin. Pablo Neruda...

Heroes:

anyone and everyone who does what they do for all the right reasons. people who spread love in the world. and/ or sarcastic hilarity.

My Blog
