About Me

I'm a writer and factory worker from central Florida, when I grow up I want to be Kannon. My work has been published throughout the small press and I am the author of two chapbooks, 'Broken Zen' and the recently published "Every Day Is Labor Day". You can check out more of my stuff here:

My Interests

Writing, reading, recording noises and sounds. Coffee, lots of coffee maybe with conversation or amid silence. Corona or Captain Morgan while pondering this or that, or meditating like a drunk saint. Lots of daydreaming, invisible generation, beat generation, conspiracy theories, spending time with my wife or being a big kid with my kids. Simply exist no illusion, no bullshit hip posturing, bare bones and zen flesh.

I'd like to meet:

dharma bums, beatniks, freakniks, weirdos, and morally challenged.

Music:

Sonic Youth, Boredoms, Merzbow, Melt Banana, Pavement, Ween, John Zorn, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Rinker, Zilbread, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Count Basie, Sinatra etc.

Movies:

Any David Lynch film, Naked Lunch,Fear and Loathing, Fight Club, Swingers, Pi, I Heart Huckabees, Dead Man, I still have a fascination with Godzilla movies, and crappy horror flicks.

Television:

wasting time watching t.v. cuts into wasting my time on myspace

Books:

Kerouac, Burroughs, Thompson, Ginsberg, Palahniuk, Basho, Bukowski, Thoreau, Marx, Corso, tons of small press poets..... too many to name.

Heroes:

Ordinary people in steel toes and blue collars
