Top 8 theme: SOUTHSIDE PEEPS IN FULL EFFECT

About Me

Painfully optimistic.

My Interests

Addicted to the postal system. I send people postcards who live 3 blocks away from my house! Give me a mailing address and I'll send you one.

I'd like to meet:

People who appreciate mail.

Music:

Old school punk rock, soul, brazilian, rockabilly, ska, garage, dub, country, 60's and 70's African soul...I love a little bit of everything: Os Mutantes, the Buzzcocks, Jackie Mittoo, Holly Golightly, Astrid and Joao Gilberto, Neco Case...shall I make you a CD?

Movies:

City of God, Nosferatu in Fargo, Documentaries, Pedro Almodovar, the Cohen Brothers (as cliché as it may sound, fuck! both Raising Arizona and Fargo are close to perfection)

Television:

THE GOLDEN GIRLS bar none. Dood...just try to watch a couple episodes of those grey haired grannies making randy sex innuendo and not bust your gut. Plus that show was teaming with commentary about social issue like homophobia and reaganomics. An underappreciated gem.

Books:

Graphic novels, illustration, photographs: APAK, Colleen Coover, Jeremy Tinder, Cindy Sherman, James Kochalka, Jeffery Brown, Craig Thompson, Adrien Tomine, Diane Arbus, Dan Clowes, Tara McPherson, James Jean Weegee, Graham Annable, Tim Biskup, Mark Ryden, Los Bros Hernandez.

Late entry

The daphne was intoxicating today. Reminds me of why I live in this water logged place. Spring is my favorite season--especially here. Can't wait for tank tops.

Yes...I made it!

Day two: Started with a trip to the "Montivilla" ARTIST work/live development site. Wow! On 82nd--(very near the Max stop) is a site where private developers are re-furbishing a very cool (old) retire...

Daily or almost--3.12

Decided to start documenting today. Everyday. Perhaps some days just a word. I have never been one to put pen to paper in order to 'capture' things that happen--I usually put pen to paper to share my ...
