About Me

What about me? I'm a writer, a poet, a scetch artist, a sculptor of mashed potatoes (or any other semi malliable medium), a horrible speller, a great believer in lists that dont have any practical value, an amatuer particle physicist, a voracious reader, a geek, nerd, dork, or any other seeming perjorative applied to smart people. I love big words but I'm much too lazy to make sure I'm right when I use them. Ummm.... I love cats.... and good scotch. Hell, cheap scotch too... but not cheap beer. I love to watch people on the bus and make up melodramatic stories about their lives. I'm a great question asker, but not a very good conversationalist. I love a lot of things, but like very few things. I'm a skeptic and an idealist, all wrapped up in one seething package of blind questioning. I tend to stick to my guns, or knives, whichever you prefer. I'm the type of person who laughs at myself for enjoying writing all this shit about myself, and am secretly (well, it was a secret)convinced that anyone who reads it will be able to instantly sense my amazing greatness. And thats about it.

My Interests

I've got lots of interests. Yup. Lots and lots of them. So many of them, in fact, that to state even a quarter of them would take up more space and time than Stephen Hawking would know what to do with. So, I'm just going to say that I am an interesting person and leave it at that. You got a problem with that? I didnt think so.

I'd like to meet:

Arundhati Roy, Noam Chomsky, Stephen Hawking, Tecumeseh , George Carlin, Trent Reznor, Johnny Depp, Jane Goodall, Shirin Ebadi (NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, 2003), Alice Walker, Angelina Jolie (with a bag over her head), Your mama, Ghandi, Jean Baptiste Aristide, Hernando Cortez, Hitler, Lenin, my mothers mom... and lots of other people.

Sucks...

My Blog

Well you can tell by the way I strut my stuff....

This little apple of a woman who I was sitting next to on the bus today asked me why I was dressed so provocatively. This was asked after she asked me what I did for a living. When I answered that I f...

Random Goodness

I just had the greatest conversation with a complete and total stranger. I was walking to the train when I noticed this girl walking right behind me start to mutter to herself. She eventually catches ...

Save us from ourselves...

I've lately been contemplating the concept of a "Saviour". Specifically, the seemingly inate human need for one. Mythology, religion, fiction, history. They're all ripe with stories of heros, of savio...

Why I both love and loathe public transportation

The other day I was on the #6MLK, heading to work. The 6 tends to be crowded all the time, and it's one of the few buses in Portland where you will actually see ethnically diverse people on a regular...

Fire!

I made a ball and chain today out of the remnants of my poi. It makes me happy. It's pretty hefty, and a little longer than me in my stocking feet. I made it at work, so I havent actually been able to...

Evo Morales is SOOOOO l33t...

I have such a crush on Evo Morales, the new President of Bolivia. Not THAT kind of crush. I dont find him sexy, though he is pretty hot. I find his ideas sexy. I guess a better word for it would be se...

Adventures in Babysitting.

Why my roommate is a manipulative, hypocritical dickhead. That was the alternate title for this rant. I decided to go with the original because it seemed less... I dont know... childish. I got in...

Honing your wit on assholes

I have, for the most part, enjoyed working in the heart of downtown Portland. I've had mostly pleasant experiences. But being exposed to so many absolute assholes for extended periods of time pretty m...
