I've seen worse.

About Me

a creative squatter just looking beneath the tucked in fancy of forgotten dreamers hoping to find some strange beauty.

My Interests

cultural transformation, the relationship between commerce and art, the water cycle, debauchery, what happens when politics becomes entertainment, comparing country music to hip hop, speaking in aphorisms

I'd like to meet:

people who don't care how to spell words and aren't impressed by celebrity. those who don't use words like "concretize", "problematic," or "systematize." maybe some people who can fix a car, or know how nice gorgonzola tastes in a simple mac and cheese dish. maybe members of bands who want to do interviews. yo-yo ma, aaron sorkin, lewis karp. anyone who wants to write a short essay about experiences with either waterloo records, austin music scene, or armadillo world HQ.
