I've got a tape gun and I know how to use it

About Me


Care more than others think is wise, Risk more than others think is safe, Dream more than others think is practical, Expect more than others think is possible...
Contrary to what my mom thinks, my cat does not call me "Mommy". I call him Wilco and he calls me Susie. Sometimes Sooz.
One day I'd like to live in a Yurt. I'd like to use power I generate myself and eat food i grow on my land. (I'll sure miss Taco Bell). I have no use for the mainstream except to laugh at it. I'm a hot chick who sings and plays guitar and makes art and rides a motorcycle, i care for my fellow earthlings and am fiercely independent, I am smart and funny. Screw you guys! What's not to love?
Off the market
Empty-hearted
Good news is that I am happy and have a pretty good grasp of why: Here is only There, Money is only That, Things are Only Those, You can't take It with You, There is More than This, Luminous Beings we are, Believe It.
I write songs and play them, I see pictures and take them.

Enough about me..

My Interests

music (writing, playing, listening), photography (shooting, developing, seeing), bikes (the loud kind)(i now own a loud one), bicycles (the pedal kind), books (the interesting kind..the boring kind suck), getting out and trying to be social, i like the weather and the seasons and i like that they happen.

I'd like to meet:

Gladly I have attracted a ton of kind and supportive people in my life who I know have my back and are cheering me on and who I would do the same for. I hope to meet even more in my time as an earthling.
As always I am in the market for musicians with which to Jam, Jelly, and Collaborate, as well as fellow artists and photographers. Sharing talent is how I have met some of my best friends.

Music:

Music, music everywhere!! Past and present faves have included: ryan adams, badreligion, bauhaus, beck, butthole surfers, bloodshot stuff, books comma the, byrne, camera obscura, cash, clash, cure, chet baker on a rainy night, elvis costello and presley, leslie FEIST!!!, flaming lips, frank black, fruit bats, finn boys, grandaddy, helio sequence, john hiatt, kmfdm, nin, material issue, matthew sweet, liz phair, memphis slim, miles, my morning jacket, neko case, new pornographers, neutral milk hotel, rem, dolly parton has a voice that makes me wanna cry, pavement, pretenders, pixies, postal service, radiohead, satchmo, smashing pumpkins, paul simon, and garfunkel, shins, strokes, talking heads, weezer, stevie wonder, velvetunderground, violent femmes, vivaldi, willie nelson, WDCB jazz, and U2 - so much sometimes that it hurts.

My Worm Bin

One word...Plastics! (Rough Draft)

Hiking through the Lisle Park District everyday (which I will say is a well kept place) I see plastic floating in the lakes and I know that those lakes empty to the Dupage River, which empties to the ...

Turnarounds

Some things we say when we mean something else, but they still make sense:"Invention is the Mother of Necessity" - How many of us didn't know we needed That until the TV told us we did?"Flattery is th...

Gangbang Froggy Style

According to my commute I hike through a really pretty part of Lisle.  There's a big hill and a lake and a prairie and a pond and bridges and a little waterfall.  There are ducks and geese ...

Were there swear words before the 80s?

I learned my first swear word when I was 8.  I mean my first really bad swear.  Hell and Damn didn't really count, and I was using them frequently at school by the second grade.  I h...

Forty-somethings need not apply
