Oui, bitches!

About Me

I am a lot of things. I simply cannot describe myself in a small box in an about me section. I am a mother -- probably one of the greatest mothers of all time (though some would disagree because I spoil my child and give in to his every whim). I am a lover -- a fighter. A music lover. A lover of all things rad and cool. I am passionate about many things. Passion is important to me -- all my friends must have passion for something. I am a writer. I like to edit stuff. I make money editing stuff and writing about music. I use horrible grammar and spelling when "off the clock." I hate it when people use quotes around everyday phrases. I love beer. I use a Macintosh. I am random. I have attention deficit disorder -- and have been prescribed medications, though I often forget to take it or even get the script filled. I am a friend. I am pro choice. I am pro gun. I am a liberal. WTF? Believe it! I contradict myself constantly. I like food and candy. I love wine. I like debate. I love humor. I enjoy swearing. Blah.

I'd like to meet:

The Clintons. Neil Gaiman. Andy Samberg. Louis Theroux.

Music:

I adore music. I like anything from punk to hip hop to underground hip hop to rap to rock to alternative (although I hate that ridiculously ambiguous and over used term to describe a wide variety of music) to reggae to indie to rockabilly to 80s pop to disco to vintage country to blues to bluegrass to dance to industrial and everything inbetween. Some of my favorite artists are The Pixies, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Melvins, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Black Keys, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams Sr., Godflesh, The National, Wanda Jackson, Edan, Pharrell, Prince, Peter Bjorn and John, Bjork, The Raconteurs, Mudhoney, Tad, Blondie, Fiona Apple, Beck, Bob Marley, Manic Street Preachers, Nirvana, The Flaming Lips, Helmet, XTC, The Detroit Cobras, N.E.R.D., Ween, Tom Tom Club, Donna Summer, Muse, Elliott Smith, The Shins, The Faint, The Panderers, The Beastie Boys, Love, Rev. Horton Heat, Snoop, MF Doom, Clipse, Wolfmother, Ozzy, The Doors, Ann Magnuson, Bongwater, Talking Heads, Snakefinger, The Residents, Luscious Jackson, Tori Amos, Bessie Smith, Janis Joplin, Kate Bush, Arctic Monkeys, The Streets, The Mars Volta, Jimi Hendrix, Imperial Teen, AC/DC, Devo, John Coltrane, The Stray Cats, The White Stripes, Billie Holiday, The Drones, Sunny Day Real Estate, Adam and the Ants (and Adam Ant), Julian Cope, Wu-Tang, Mission of Burma, Cold War Kids, TMBG, The Rolling Stones, The Clash, Syd Barrett, Wilco, The Toadies, Frank Zappa, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Beta Band, Kiss, CSS, fuck, I can't think anymore.

Movies:

Les triplettes de Belleville. I love watching movies and I like a wide array of movies and film. I am not as big of a movie buff as a lot of my friends. But I do like them. I really like documentaries. And sometimes there is nothing like a chick flick.

Television:

I really like the news (BBC, CNN, local, etc.), reality (Project Runway, ANTM, fucking shit like that), Scrubs, Flight of the Conchords, The Office (UK and US), Primetime Live, cooking and home decorating shows and everything Discovery and Travel Channel.

Books:

Comics. I love comics. I am not hiding it anymore. I love them. However, I do read other types of books, too. But I read for a living, so comics are my vice.

Heroes:

My late grandmother (nanna), my son, my mom, Hillary Clinton, the late Rosa Parks, the late Margaret Sanger and all those who have passion and fight for what they believe.

sometimes

When you practice what you preach ... it doesn't even matter. Practice doesn't always make perfect.
