My Interests

just whittling away

I'd like to meet:

social reconstructionists. compassionate consumers. bicyclistas. rhetorical figureheads. walk + squawkers. naturalists. minimalists. idiom/palindrome collectors. the ill literatti + other sic werd nords. unabashed poets, singers, hummers, movers, shakers + other frolickers. east coast and midwest transplants willing to call those [in need] on their shit.

Music:

joni mitchell, dinosaur jr, jawbreaker, neil young, hot water music, husker du, sonic youth. in that order. lately: built to spill and swearing at motorists. pretty much ad nauseum

Movies:

i'll wait for the book to come out.

Books:

those where the protagonist and antagonist are one and the same. novels, poetry + prose inclusive: w.faulkner, i.turgenev, s.anderson, e.l.masters, c.bukowski, j.santiago-baca, r.braughtigan, l.cohen, e.hemmingway, v.shklovsky (zoo...), r.m.rilke, m.doughty, j.d.salinger, s.plath, c.moore, i.calvino
