About Me

i sell sock puppet portraits and play rock songs with frequent intersections therein.

here is what i wrote about keeping my info contemporary before: it occurs to me that it makes me modestly nervous to have a list of all of the things in any given category (say, for instance, BOOKS) and try to make it as complete as possible at any give time (of course you'll inevitably think of something that you can't believe you ommited, thusly turning away droves of potential futurewives). so, i've decided to make all information current as of whatever particular time i last wrote in here was. which is to say all: of the info will still be inaccurate, but somehow it will feel at least contemporarily inaccurate.

My Interests

just now: rockingout and playing with puppets and putting pictures of those puppets in frames and selling them. and playing rock songs. some occasional drawings. lots of salads. i am getting enough coffee.uncle monsterface rules my life. i am in this band and i am in love with this band. this band and all of its component parts is my best friend and savior.current video games = THE Wii!!! - Sports, Rayman, Monkeyball, ZELDA, Trauma Center, elebits, warioware... and also always: THE DS! katamari, dance dance, ds animal crossingin 2005 i made a song a day for 30 days in a row 3 times = 90 songs. come listen and let me know what you think.i stopped dressing up, and currently wear stefan's leather jacket all the time in order to feel like a big man. moreso.

I'd like to meet:

iorek byrnison. the king of the cosmos. miyamoto-san. firefly's kaylee or the emotional/physical real-life equivalent thereof. number five.

seriously:if you are interested in becoming my internet friend and i don't know you very very well already (ie almost every band ever/distant but probably lovable and swell high school acquaintances) please just write a note saying,"hi marty! let's be internet friends!" this is true for folks who are monsterface fans, too. i'm happy to be your internet friend, please just write me a note about it. this technique separates the 'collectors' from the 'interested parties'. i like parties.
