About Me

..

My Interests

Love is hot, truth is molten.

I'd like to meet:

It's hard to describe.

Music:

"That music has got a simple beat people can relate to, and a haunting quality that tries to go right to the gut and to the heart, and sometimes it does. I don't know where it comes from. I just like that mysterious sound. A song has to be something I can feel. And 'feel' covers a lot of space with me, meaning spirituality, gut feeling and heart feeling."

-Johnny Cash

"The function of the artist is to make people like life better than they have before. When I've been asked if I've ever seen that done, I say, 'Yes, the Beatles did it.'"
-Kurt Vonnegut

Movies:

I put up all the little videos I've made on youtube:

Television:

While eating dinner, if there's nobody to talk to.

Books:

When time permits.

Heroes:

Nick Drake, Chip Foose, Jim Henson, Nat Cole, John Hurt, my brother and Grandpa.

Worst Cougar Bar Ever

Man, I danced my ass off and didn't even get a "whoo" or awkward invitiation to slow dance to cheesy Eric Clapton cover songs.  I'd rate the overall quality of cougar bars in Cotati, CA as a "D" ...

A Man of Spring

Last winter, I decided to stop pretending that I like the rain.  You know when you’re chatting with someone and the topic goes to how so-and-so just loves curling up with a book, making a g...

Thoughts on Cleaning House

"Hey, do we have any more of those things??  You know, those things I threw all out yesterday because we had too many of them?  ... I need one now."

Overachievers

My Christmas Music

I guess it's not completely accurate to say that it's "My" Chrismtas music... it's all traditional Christmas tunes written by dead people.  But I did record it!  Check it out:www.myspace.com...
