my plant and i we need each other

About Me

puddles, old people, in bed with rain beating on window, bums, slowing down, laughing at self, loving self, hugs, comforters, cliffs, paint on clothes, slippers, raw tahini garlic, skanking, wondering, spinning in circles, looking at eyes, forgetting & remembering, reading a letter, spooning, taking off socks at the end of the day, getting sad over girls, not knowing what to say, candles when theyre lit, conversations on couches, good cries, gi joe, running at full speed, symbols, words...

My Interests

intending to be everything im pretending i am.

I'd like to meet:

anyone really.

Music:

music is what the stars would say if they could talk. i think. either that or they'd say "HEEEEY YOUUUU!"

Movies:

cannibal (the musical), ET, sword and the stone, lebowski, shrimp stevens and the forever unfolding reversable nine inch potato peeler part nine

Television:

so the world is going to end aliens are going to swoop down and discover gobs of decomposing degenerates huddled around black screens and think they found our god

Books:

fuck another serious one... man... tao te ching, siddhartha, gertrude, the story of b, perks of being a wallflower, women, who cares? why am i writing this? this is making me feel like the things i like are really important when they arent. this is such an ego trip. im done... okay so im adding more just to get names of geniuses out there so other people might stumble upon them. ANYTHING by hesse or salinger, especially gertrude and franny and zooey (respectively). notes from the underground and brothers karamazov (karazamov?) by dostoevsky, chronicles of narnia, lord of the rings, any star wars books by timothy zahn (yes star wars), anything by joseph cambell, faust by goethe, anything by david icke, behold a pale horse by cooper, anything on taoist reflexology, bhagavad gita (one with word for word translation), upanishads (just got this as a gift and its GOOD), palahniuks okay, uhh... ginsberg and sartre (i need to read more of both those guys), emerson, thoreaus walden, thomas mann is pretty sick, way of the shaman (forgot who wrote it), poetry by pessoa or wordsworth or whitman or cummings, cant leave out bukowski even though he gets thrown everywhere, dh lawrence (i hear early stuff is better). thats it for now. wow i have no life.additions. the little prince. ts eliot "the wasteland", etc.
