About Me

the older i get the less permanent my addresses seem to be. i'm sick of moving but i haven't found that place that feels like home. i'm still really ackward. i hunger for things i cannot satiate. i am insatiable. a wild beast. i am stubborn as hell. sometimes i live in a world of fantasy. that can only lead to dissapointment

My Interests

animals. punk and metal and booty shakin' hip hop. things that make me go "whoa" and start laughing. makin out. coffee. the times. what we do in secret, secret. the old haunts and the new ones.

I'd like to meet:

i really don't know that i want to.

Music:

You know what. I'm not going to bother with this. There's too much to list, really. I love playing music, I love singing in Pussyhawk. If you want to know more I'll tell you or make you a tape. Listening to mixtapes that my friends made me (my favorite). Other than that I'm not going to bother listing it's stupid and I'm not cool.

Movies:

I watch about one a month,even less these days. Mostly though i get restless and feel like i could be doing something more constructive when i watch movies. Documentarys are nice. Zombie movies are totally boss.

Television:

Their album Marquee Moon is excellent makeout music.

Salinger, Michelle Tea, Jack Kerouac, Marjane Satrapi, Neil Gaiman, Trinie Dalton, PHILLIP PULLMAN, The Doris Anthology(fucking awesome), I love Daniel Clowes, graphic novels, social sciences & rock and roll biographies. Jenna Jameson's biography, my favorite guilty pleasure: Carl Hiaasen, Homemade books especially. Zines. This list could go on and on. I read more than i socialize.

Heroes:

they live in my heart and my skin. sometimes they haunt me.

like walking through painted glass...

For the first time in 10 years i've started working the graveyard shift. It's weird. Back then I was young and naive and sold my soul for a minimal wage and missed probably a lot of shows...

Satiating the Beast...

The last leg of summer is winking with it's evil eye. Go on now, lose it. Through blankets of heat that cling to you like dried blood, bouts of unemployment, friends visiting for not long...

swimming through dark water

The roads stretch out in front of me like scarred, exposed veins. Throttling me over them. Taking all the air out of my tires, my lungs.

Spring Feverishness..
