About Me

Ok, first off I can't sleep. This is relevant cause this is the state of mind I have to be in to tackle such a mind-numbingly meaningless task as reducing myself to a convenient, two-dimensional, and short blurb. Here goes: I live in Denver. I like Denver, hence why I live here. I live in a haunted apartment building downtown. Which is conveniently around the corner from both my art studio and D-town's world-famous crack-whore central (Colfax). I like hyphens. Also, apostrophes when they're correctly used. I play seven instruments however this has brought me neither acclaim nor gainful employment. It has just brought me filler for my MySpace profile. I still practice most of them diligently, but you're likely to never hear. Moving on...More and more, I dislike cars. They represent all that is wrong with our culture and why it is on the brink of imploding in on its own emptiness: convenience, immediate gratification, creature comfort, status, and a disregard for the consequences of such shortsightedness. Bikes are different. You have to enjoy the journey for what it is since being impatient will not get you there sooner. It demands awareness of your surroundings and an appreciation for the really real world. And in return, you get peace of mind, better health, a less stressful commute, and an ability to observe your world in a way a car cannot provide. I realize that perhaps that was a bit preachy. Sorry, but it's how I feel. It just all came kind of pouring out. I guess I hadn't really put that into words before.Enough of that. It's just going to get heavier from here on in, and who wants that? It's just a MySpace page after all... MyGen Profile Generator
