About Me

I joined this deal to be able to access friends' bands, videos and music; since this seems to be the only place for some. I moved back to the Northwest to escape L.A., but had many attachments in the Silverlake musical underground. I miss that aspect of the city, so I have to keep up with people's successes and tour schedules. Sometimes my favorites play in Portland...not enough, but, in this venue, I have the wild winds in the trees for my listening pleasure.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm both reclusive and have a partner, so I'm not looking for anything, really, except a good show. Like I said, I'm just here for the music. Anyway, I'm an audience, an observer with eyes and ears and two hands to clap. I can entertain myself pretty well, but I love the luxury of being entertained.

Scorpions On Parade

I can tell summer is coming on by the the appearance of scorpions in my abode. The heat brings them out. So far, there have only been six medium sized ones: two in the basement, three on the main floo...

Number 100 (Blog Centennial?)

Weirdly, this is my 100th of these things. I've been putting it off, since I was thinking it might have to be something good to mark the occasion. Then, it was April Fool's Day and I didn't want you t...

Blast Walls And Lollipops

Well might thee wonder what that title's about, but so do I. Actually, I think it's a loose connection between the bars and nightclubs opening back up in Baghdad and going to hear Miranda Lee Richards...

Belt Buckles And Beards

Talking about belt buckles sent my mind wandering (it does that a lot) in reminisence of the late, great Miguel. He was a fiery Spaniard who sold Chrome Hearts for L'Claireur in Paris during the early...

As You Might Have Imagined...

I was working on a ring and dreaming about making belt buckles. Rings have to tell a story in a small space. I guess they're like hiaku. Buckles need to explain themselves, too, but they're at least a...

Arise, Heretics and Free-Thinkers!!

I was letting the new year sink in for a few days. It's all so arbitrary and a bit constricting. I pretty much ignore time and schedules, except for the natural rhythms connected to light and dark, in...

The Galactic Federation Ain't Gonna Take It, Anymore!

Well, there hasn't been a whole heck of a lot going on, except elections and global economic meltdowns, so I was saving this for something important. I got the propane heater fixed, at last! It was ju...

Flotsam, Jetsam and Then Some

So, since I'm no expert on politics and finance, I'll go back to familiar ground, like soup making, wood splitting and silver hammering. Also, I've been adopted by a cat. You can see where I live by m...

Entangled Integers or Heathen Oil Thyself

I was thinking about calling this "Entertaining Enticements", but decided I was only entertaining myself. I then realized that it was, probably, or as much as that can be in a state of statelessness, ...

Vortices and Voices

It's the eye of my creative storm. I like the calm between finishing one piece and beginning the next. Naturally, there's always overlap and the lingering images of ideas set aside for ...
