I am here for Friends

About Me

I got my layout at Cleanupmyspace.com

My Interests

music, film, literature, yoga- to name a few

I'd like to meet:

The Wicked Witch of the West, Blanche DuBois and Rod Serling

Music:

The Waterboys, The Waterboys and The Waterboys- Mike Scott, Hank Williams, Elvis, Old Bowie, The Clash, Johnny Cash, Van Morrison, Patti Smith (here I go and I don't know why- the story of my life), Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Victoria Williams, The Frames, Mark Geary, Josh Ritter, Hothouse Flowers, Sufjan Stevens, The Arcade Fire, Kate Bush (Nocturn- YES), Interpol, Jeff Buckley, BRMC, Old Springsteen, Nick Drake, Damien Rice, The Rolling Stones, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, lots of jazz, blues and traditional music and many more

Movies:

Too many to name. When I'm home I watch a film nearly every night of the week and see them out as well. Somewhat recently I've been very taken with "Finding Neverland" and "Crash". Even more recently I've fallen in love with the John Carney film "Once". See it, you won't be sorry. Also I loved Juno, who didn't?

Television:

not a fan of telly- but must confess that 'Arrested Development' makes me double over laughing as did the BBC version of "The Office"

Books:

the classics- James Baldwin is my favorite (or favourite, depending on where you're from) contemporary writer. Also Jonathan Safran Foer anyone? A maverick- a modern day James Joyce.

Heroes:

Anyone willing to stand up for and live in a manner congruent with what they believe is true-

Sea Change

"Full fathom five thy father lies;Of his bones are coral made;Those are pearls that were his eyes:Nothing of him that doth fadeBut doth suffer a sea-changeInto something rich and strange."   ...

Tryst

There’s no making sense of love.  It can never be traced directly to beauty, intellect, attributes- or any of those things we’ve been taught to label as such.  Rather the explana...

Lazlo

He was here and now he’s gone.  He was a small animal- nothing so remarkable... But he was here.  We found him and chose him and he lived in this house. He’d lift up his nose to...

The Path Of Least Resistance

On any day of any war... We hide behind masks, leaf through books with print too small to read, discredit the voices of our brethren. We direct false orchestras from a corner in the café, avoid ...

Confessions of a Stow Away

I wasn't supposed to be there, on that bus, receiving your kisses with an open mouth and reverent heart.  I wasn't supposed to get on in the first place and certainly ought to have disembarked im...

For Better Or For Worse

  I want a definitive capable of filling the void where religion and its many inconsistencies, questions, mysteries and downright evils fail me. I want indissoluble bonds.  I want the il...

Not long ago one of my favorite Myspace pals, Radio Roxanne, published what was for me a deeply affecting and profoundly life affirming blog on the subject of&wait for it&.a bowl of oatmeal... I often...

Cold Mountain

My first day alone in a very long while.  I've enjoyed it immensely- working this morning and afternoon- reading this evening.  My eyes being tired after a three hour session with a book I t...
