About Me

.."One thing I object to is cultural hierarchy. To me, there’s no difference in value between Beethoven and the Butthole Surfers, Between Shakespeare and Mickey Spillane. If something’s good, it’s good, whether it’s a comic book or a 'great' novel." - Jim Jarmusch

Why does everything have to be taken so literally?

Ok, so a week or so ago when I was talking about "cleansing my aura" and ridding myself of excess baggage, I didn't exactly mean it in a literal sense. I did in the sense that I was trying to get rid ...
