somebody had to say it, and yeah, i really mean it:
i make lots of art and music and i fucking love it. i'm eternally optimistic. why? because i think i have things figured out pretty well these days. i like absurd humor and tasteless jokes but not because of a mean spirit: i'm a sweetheart. but i do like brutal honesty and i would rather be spared the sugar water if it doesn't really run out of the well that way. i try to live life passionately. i trust my gut quite a bit. i don't let fear determine things for me. i think everybody should really lower their defenses a little bit and have some faith in the goodness of other people. and if you're not a good person, well, start being one, you jackass. all kinds of awesome shit happens when people work with each other instead of against each other. following from that, i can't stand territorial natures in people or animals. i'm a problem solver and believe i could make or do just about anything with the right tools. kind of like macguyver. i do like making things a whole lot. i would make a great desert island companion. we would be living in style for sure. i'm also unusually patient and sincere, which people equate to pickiness, and maybe they're right, but i think britt said it best- "you gotta feel it." i just think i have a good idea of what i want, so why bother with anything else? oh and i don't like to bullshit on the telephone. if it's going to be a conversation, let's do it in person.
this year i'll be finishing my big project. it's called yes means yes and it'll be an album, some art, and some performances. read more by clicking one of these links . add it to your friends if you like what i'm doing. when i first came up with it, i was hoping it would change my life. it already has. next up: more positive change. i've said this before: i'll gladly bet everything on this project. i think it's something really special and i hope you do too.
"We have to be guided by the facts; and if the facts seem incredible as they do we have first of all to assure ourselves that they are facts, and then conclude that there is a department of knowledge to which we have as yet not got the key." - Sir Oliver Lodge
