About Me

The best desription of me is from my friend Richard, so I'll start with that; "Are you ready for Jamie Barton? You see, everywhere you go in life there are lines. And where there is a line, Jamie will cross it. Only he doesn't just cross it, he drives a tank through it. But it's not just a tank. It's painted pink. And decorated with marabou feathers. And has a mirror ball for a hood ornament and is blasting the soundtrack of the moment and makes Priscilla Queen of the Desert look like an Amish buggy. And Sid Vicious and Cicciolina are riding on top, snarling and waving and tossing candy and porn mags to the onlookers. Only, if the onlookers are republicans or other assholes, the candy is laced with acid or sterilization drugs or both. And if you're not part of the entourage you'll hear about it later from friends or the police blotter and, despite your satisfaction at still having your limbs and credit cards intact, desperately wish you had been there. So charge up your cell phone and fire extinguisher, toss a lipstick in your purse, and ask yourself: Are you ready for Jamie Barton?"in my own words: insane, perverse, generous, fun, and a royal pain in the ass. i am slowly becoming addicted to getting tattooed. i am not a bear, i just happen to resemble one. i am currently missing a tooth, and am now kicking myself for joking about wanting to be white trash. after fourteen years i've just moved back to new york and hoping it goes better this time. if i had to choose between being a chimpanzee or a bonobo, i'd totally be a bonobo. i tend to get distracted when i see something shiny, like.... when i was little i forced my step-brother to be steve austin while i ran around wearing a tinfoil tiara and matching wrist cuffs. i smoke too many cigarettes, and while i know i should quit, i figure it'll be a lot less painful to just save up for an iron lung. i also like orange shorts and the people that wear them...

My Interests

Writing, reading, art (in all its various states, both good and bad), perversity, bothering people.

I'd like to meet:

Well, I suppose anyone who, like Richard, not only knows who Cicciolina is, but can pair her up with Sid Vicious in a friendster testimonial. Other than that Edward Gorey, but since he's dead you'll do.

Movies:

The Red Balloon, Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Querelle, Betty Blue, Diva, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Polyester, and anything with Joe Dallesandro.

Television:

Sid & Marty Kroft are pure genius, and of course one can not live without the Simpsons

Books:

Yes, love them.

Heroes:

Quentin Crisp, Jean Genet, John Waters, and of course img src = "http://img.terra.com.br/i/2003/11/14/88341_cp.jpg" leigh bowery, a true futurist

Woe to be, You and Me

I generally try and live my life as an optimist, albeit one with a hearty misanthropic streak, but with every passing day I find it increasingly difficult to get it up, metaphorically speaking, and gr...

suck it up and go forth

There are certain moments when you realize you have arrived at a crossroads of sorts, and you feel totally paralyzed once you do. You have to make a decision to go one way or the other, but you have n...

Please go back to the stable, SJP.

Most mornings I transfer trains at least once as the C usually takes forever, and while I do get to work faster, one unfortunate side effect has occurred, though, and that would be the 6th Ave. HBO st...

Babbling Through Fashion

A year ago this week I started the longest running temp job in history, an "assignment" that I'm still on, actually, though it bears little resemblance to the one I was thrown into twelve months ago. ...

A Three S Kind of Life

Struggle, strife, and sorrow, three words that pretty much sum up my current state of affairs. Every day I wake up and wonder what kind of heinous crimes I committed in a previous life, because I'm su...

Thanks, I Guess

There are certain things one can intellectually prepare themselves for, such as the fact that their slightly esoteric degree will only enable them to sink further into debt, and then there are other m...

Bang, bang

Today my mother had to a pay visit to a neurologist due to the fact that she's been forgetting things on an ever-increasing basis. In fact, I spent two weeks at her house so I could get the doctor bal...

If you were to ask me

How I'm currently feeling, I'd have to say I'm feeling, I don't know...vaguely suicidal in a not completely suicidal way, but rather in the sense that I merely want to put on an old wedding dress, sla...

Turn a cheek just to be slapped on the other?

Last night I dreamt about my mother's second husband, a profoundly violent man whose soul purpose in life seemed to be to torture me both psychologically and physically. I've carried a profound hatred...

BUH-BYE

Sometimes the universe does work in your favor.See, a few months ago a young couple moved into the basement apartment below us, and at first they seemed quite nice, if perennially stoned, and it's not...
