...smashing things, pushing buttons, stream of consciousness living, roaming the streets, decorating public and private property, bad wine, tearing crumbling antique fabric, crayons, being fed up, smoking your cigarettes, exploring abandoned and vacant buildings, people that make me blanket forts, lightning bug lanterns,tiny bottles and boxes, poppies, taking things too far, pomegranates, scratching through the surface of this fairytale in search of some reality, breathing in the cold like water, vanishing only to reappear only to vanish again, fever dreams, small winged insects, seeing all of your scars, shiny things, blinding optimism, paint-covered fingers, disregard in general, bohemian chow, raising my voice until it floats above the trees, running (both towards and away), driving too fast and watching you cringe, standing on the beach and feeling small small small, elipses, those in the know, being retarded in love, rolling down hills, gonzo photography, not getting the dumb spoon, all-encompassing aesthetics, finding a better life...
The person I would have been had I been a boy...
Music is the shining stars in my matte sky... Neutral Milk Hotel, the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Ciccone Youth, Pavement, Raffi, Elton John, Beck, Tom Waits, Of Montreal, the Arcade Fire, Mates of State, Charlie Parker, the Rza and the Gza, the Beatles, the Ghost Mice, Blonde Redhead, Coldplay, the Unicorns, the Rolling Stones, the Show is the Rainbow, Bob Dylan, old-school Hole, the Bananas, Bjork, DJ Screw (and anything else chopped and screwed, for that matter), Hickey, the Cure, the Fleshes, Radiohead, Against Me!, Biz Markie, Modest Mouse, Frank Sinatra, Ugly Casanova, Air, Deep Puddle Dynamics, Elliott Smith, Jay-z, the Raincoats, the Beat Happening, Half-Japanese, DJ Shadow, Stop It!!, Joanna Newsom,the Thermals, most of my friends' bands, me singing to myself, KOMA ... I could go on and on forever...

I'm just going to stop here for now...
The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the World's Top 10 Toilets special on the Travel Channel, Cheaters, infomercials of all shapes and sizes, Sealab 2021, televangelists, those terrifying live-action kids shows that start running at 5 in the morning (don't pretend that you don't know what I'm talking about), bad Skinimax movie spoofs like Planet of the Babes, anything on the Spanish Channel, the Sunday Night Sex Show, hmmm... Anything else that serves to remind me of what a waste it would be to have cable... Don't give me your remote... I will most likely make you suffer for your trouble...
I am an absolute and total bibliophile... Let's see... Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, Francesca Lia Block, T.S. Eliott, Hunter S. Thompson, Allen Ginsburg, William S. Burroghs ...you get the idea... there's so so so much more to be said, but my attention span is starting to wear thin...
Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp... Either you get it or you don't...
