About Me

"You never know what you have until it's gone, and I wanted to know what I had, so I got rid of everything."-Steven Wright

My Interests

rock...roll... creating lullabies...touring...writing/singing/recording songs... flying to faraway lands...astrology...loving and being loved...throwing caution to the wind... vodka fueled nights and diet coke recoveries...

I'd like to meet:

lions, tigers and bears...

Music:

Unique songs sung by distinct, sometimes quirky voices... Citizen Cope, Ryan Adams, The Pixies, The Cure, The Figgs, Wilco, The Constantines, Death Cab for Cutie, Hot Hot Heat, Head Automatica, Jeff Buckley, Jimmy Eat World, Moneen, Alexisonfire, Seconds to Go, The Dandy Warhols, Chamberlain, Cave In, Jets to Brazil, Bright Eyes, Ben Kweller, Ben Lee, Wolf Parade, Nada Surf, Beck, Bjork, Blondie, Joan Jett, old school Liz Phair and Weezer, The Beatles, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, Nina Simone, Blossom Dearie, Billie Holiday, Bobbie Gentry, Barry Manilow (oh I stand by this choice!!), Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Fleetwood Mac, The Pretenders, Elvis Costello, Feist, Peaches, Sufjan Stevens, Frou Frou, Imogen Heap, Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell... songs that feed my soul, melt my heart, send bolts of electricity to every nerve in this body of mine, make me feel ALIVE and happy to be a human being.AND I really like going to the opera but the elderly are always coughing and unwrapping mints and it freaks me out partly because of ADD, partly because I'm a hypochondriac and don't want to get sick. Seriously. BUT, the last time I went, we had seats so close to the stage we could see the sweat forming on the musician's faces. Surrounded by sound, it was an out of body experience....

Silence

Collide, face to face, I needed this we're tongue tied, can't explain the emptiness that's inside, loss of words and loneliness we've tried time and time again. Who's fooling who when our hearts know ...
