About Me


The Wave Pictures - I Love You Like A Madman "And if my thought-dreams could be seen They'd probably put my head in a guillotine But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only"

My Interests

"my halo's got a hole in it so it don't keep me dry but it's ok cuz my brain is my heart 's umbrella" - "Maybe it's just that humans aren't equipped to feel improvement" - "you'll never again see the angle of the street that you saw from that window" --"you don't have to act crazy to do something amazing you can be just like you should and still do something really goodThough it takes so much strength just not to suck And not to be a cynic looking for another gimmick" --"i kinda thought i was gonna grow up to do stuff that'd benefit humanity but it's getting harder to tell if this artist's life is even benefitting me"

I'd like to meet:

the disappointment of dreams made real. Frustrated humming with your head under the pillow, like the end of the day where you feel nothing has been achieved and you're in a hurry to get the day over with so you can start the next one. You tell yourself you're going to do lots of positive things. But the next day is just like the one before. Sometimes it goes on for weeks.THE WAVE PICTURES - KISS ME
