About Me

God, I love my friends. Seriously, without friends that expect you to say 'hey, I feel like bouncing tonight' or 'Hey, I have this idea...' Ideas. That's what everything we do is all about. Bouncing ideas off of one another just to see if one will land. Like sliced peanut butter, or the scientist tech challenge reality show

I'm finding I need the creative in order to go through everything else. It doesn't matter what it is - making a film, writing diddies, building an urban garden, hopping trains, climbing trees. Who cares, as long as we're ecstatic about being. And I welcome anyone to play along. I guess that sums up my 'who I'd like to meet section'.

Fortune Cookies. Listen to something:

Television:

I only watch TV when I need to turn my brain off, which is usually between 6:15 and 6:30...the only thing on is King of the Hill - God, I don't even like King of the Hill...but the light isn't good enough to watch dust particles at that time.
