I Feel I Never Told You The Story of the Ghost

About Me

I'm a 3rd gen Floridian.... I know I know... not many of us. I exude the REAL floridian attitude...it'll get done.. maybe not this second but done before it's too late =) I grew up in central eastern Florida just a few miles south of Cocoa Beach... I say that city because most have not heard of mine.. i like it that way.. keeps the beaches and waves free =) i moved down to south FL a little over 15yrs ago to start my teaching career and tried to adjust to the new and different scene.. so as you read the rest of this, sit back and enjoy Ghost from Big Cypress Phish NYE shows.... specifically 12-30 ....enjoy.. and watch out for those glowsticks =) This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor

My Interests

Music, Music, Playing/Writing music, spoken word, any kind of sports, theater, and classic and beatnik literature, seeing shows around the country

I'd like to meet:

That one girl i saw at every dead show. She knows who she is.... i never saw her face or got within 1000yards of her, but I fell in love instantly with her... her small shadowy body dancing rythmically to and fro in one of the aisle tunnels, her long flowing dress tossing about above the beautiful display of purple and greens beams from the light show. It was as if she was plucked directly from one of the 60's Fillmore shows.

Music:

I spent over 2 years on the road following the Grateful Dead and Phish. So basically any kind of jamband I can listen to. I can listen to ANYTHING but hardcore country and western. I can only hear about so many dogs dying, trucks breaking, wives leaving, jobs quitting before I want to grow myself a mullet and call myself Billy Joe Jim Bob. It would take me days to list all the music I like, but let's just say it runs from early jazz (Monk, Coltrane, Miles) to classic rock (Jimi, Jim, and Janis) to more progressive (Cure, Femmes, The The, Butthole Surfers) to finally some more modern stuff. But if you check in any of my players, you will most likely find a Dead, Phish, or Marley live show in it. I have over 1000 live shows from GD to Phish to Marley to Les Claypool. Let's just say I like music.

Movies:

Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs, Apocolypse Now, Warriors, Animal House, Blues Brothers, Fast Times, any Cusack flick...etc... etc... etc

Television:

I don't watch much TV but when I do, I'm a reality show whore

Books:

Any of the beatnik writers, any book by John D MacDonald or Carl Hiassen, any philosophy book, Catch a Fire, One Love, Box of Rain, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence, Tao of Pooh, Te of Piglet, Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Elmore Leonard

Heroes:

Jack Kerouac, Jerry Garcia, Bob Marley, Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters
