About Me

I like when the sun shines and I like cooking but it usually turns out wrong. I like playing the banjo poorly and painting pictures I throw away when they're done. I don't really like friends or earwigs but they're always around. I don't have any problem with sunshine though.

My Interests

Do-it-yourself anything. Fixin' stuff. Breakin' stuff. Mixin' stuff. Makin' stuff. Banjo. Mandolin. Guitar. Drum kit. Microphone. Motorcycles. Skate boards. Long boards. Surf boards. Snow boards. Freight trains. Destroy the right wing. The shore. Dinosaur impressions. Dinosaurs. Sunshine. Punk rock. Travelling. Staying put. Writing songs. Playin' em.

I'd like to meet:

Story tellers. Smelly kids. Humyn beans. Mommas.

Music:

The local music scene and John Prine. Bill Munroe and his Bluegrass Boys. Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. Petunia and the Loons. Tom Frampton. Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains. Ghost Mice. Pharcyde. Leftover Crack. Feederz. Minor Threat. Leatherface. Demented Are Go. The Cramps. Ozark Mountain Daredevils. The Ditty Bops. The Moldy Peaches. Good music.

Movies:

The Never Ending Story and The Blues Brothers are the 2 best movies in all of time. Other very good movies include: A Clockwork Orange, Wayne's World, Dirty Pretty Things, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Hustle and Flow, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Billy Jack, Harold and Maude, V for Vendetta, Benny & Joon, Edward Scissor Hands, Blow, Gummo, The Weather Underground, Together, The Machinist, anything about super heros, pirates or ninjas and documentaries about animals but not about anything else.

Television:

Fuck that shit.

Books:

I like to read books but I don't like listing my favorite books because after a while I forget where they'd go on the scale of 1-10 and just remember whether it was really good or really bad and I tend to remember all books as being either the best book I ever read or the worst book I ever read. I finished reading "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time" today. I really liked it.

Heroes:

Probably not.

White Stripes Concert

I went to see The White Stripes last night at the Cunard center (or Pier 23). I bought my ticket as soon as they went on sale hoping that would insure me a good seat, though, with doubts that there wa...

Group therapy.

Everyone's on drugs. Or drunk. Crying and consoling. Laughing uncomfortably. I think last night's escapades gave me carpel tunnel syndrome. 1 bottle of moisturizer and 9.5 straight hours of moist...
