About Me

I'm 51-years-old. I'm presently a homeless bum sleeping in the bushes of Berkeley. I can't think of anything else to say "about me." Perhaps you'll think of something and fill in the blanks.

My Interests

Not very interesting

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet God. Does He have a myspace page?

Music:

I'm a compulsive songwriter who's recorded thousands of hours of psychedelic pop music on my ancient Fostec 4-track cassette recording.

Movies:

Went to one about 15 years ago ("Barfly" starring Micky Rourke). I might go to another one some day.

Television:

Threw out my television set around 1993. Haven't missed it yet.

Books:

My favorite book is "SURVIVING ON THE STREETS" by Ace Backwords (available at www.amazon.com )

Heroes:

R. Crumb. Charles Bukowski. Swami Muktananda. Thats it.
