It's Chicken Today and Feathers Tomorrow

About Me

Reactionary Radical (see Bill Kauffman). Record geek. Music freak. Phil means love in Greek. Unfortunately, Philip means lover of horses. Are you a horse? My last name means brown in Irish. Wow. Nothing about me is perfect, but the sum is greater than it's parts. That means I'm pretty damn above average and am nice to the touch. Irish, English, German, Dutch, French-Swiss. Mutt. Music Fan. Drummist/Guitarer. Sing too. Jack of None. I love to eat but I am sick of cooking. I'm a pretty good cook though. Semi-damaged. A catch if I could get my shit together. I own around 9,000 LPs, a thousand of which you've never heard of. House/Car Sellout (Circa 1850 Brick/04 Matrix). Spa City Rocker. Idealist. Coaster. President of Philthy Rex Records. Hater of the Trend. Pre-Modern. Mi Gusta Mucho Paz Y Amor. Member of the Village Green Preservation Society. WSPN DJ. Hirsute (head only). Bands I was in: Human Slug, Alpha Jerks, Taco Fever, Spa City Rockers, Amputees and 1234's. P is for Punk. D is for Damage. On the cusp.

My Interests

All Things Inherently Good: Truth, Records, Mammals, Eating, Making Out, Rocking Out, Swimming in Freshwater (to heck with the ocean), Cinema, Tea, Nature Walks, Turtles, Coyote Scat, Hot Nuts, Antiwar.com, Peace (what a hippy!). A Big "WHATEVER" to "Extreme" Everything!

I'd like to meet:

People to do stuff outdoors with. A maid (see Neil Young). Someone to grow a garden with. Swimming Partners. Ice Cream Savorers. People Who Are Nice, But Not To EVERYONE! People who find eating pleasurable and have good palates. FiggsFans. Future bandmates. I need a reason to talk to a stranger, so give me one and maybe I'll talk to you. Cat persons.

Tired

I did not sleep well last night. As I lay down for my evenings rest, after again succumbing to premature couch-sleep as I watched a movie, I felt uneasy. I got up and put some music on to distract my ...

It Didn't Last

Feeling all right was followed by a gnawing withdrawl. Tum's anyone? Taking care, eating well, exercising, keeping busy. Avoidance only works for so long though. It's a strange placidity overshadowed ...
