About Me


papa was a rodeo. mama was a rock n roll band.

"the revolution will come when we ignore the others out of existence" ~billy burroughs
"as long as there is a lower class, i am in it. as long as there is a criminal element, i am of it. as long as there is a soul in prison, i am not free." ~eugene debs
"i'm right on the edge. i don't know what comes next." ~steve zissou

my rules for life:
1. do what you can, not what you can't
2. it all washes out in the end
3. they're always too busy thinking about themselves to really watch you
4. when stressed, dance a jig
