SLOAN TRIPP

At birth we cry; at death we see why

About Me

Hello and welcome to my personal site/band site. My name is really Dylan Dewdney. If you are into alternate dimensions, mathematical theory, Canadian literature and poetry; if you are a surgeon at University Hospital in Chicago, a senior-ranking army official at the Pentagon, the general manager of Chum Limited Television, or a schizophrenic child in the midwest; then you might know of some members of my family. As for me I sing in a band called Wet Iguana, work, write (finishing my MA), and occasionally get modelling/advertisement gigs. I call myself Sloan Tripp when I'm playing my own music. The bio that was on here before was completely fabricated. I won't give a really detailed bio here (I deleted my last personal site because people started weirding me out--which is a hard thing to do), but I'll give you a brief omnibus tour of my life in words. Well, I'd like to think I've seen a lot of it in my short 25 years: dining with the Prime Minister of St. Lucia; living off tuna cans for a month that I found; selling pizza coupons door to door in Winnipeg; stripping at a bar in Iowa called Pumpers; featured in a documentary for Japanese TV (TV Asahi) about the 9/11 atttacks; teaching introductory sociology at UWO; waking up at 6 am on the western coast of Costa Rica not knowing where I am; farting loudly as a child during a press conference with Stevie Wonder; peeing my bed from drunkeness at age 24; spending a lot of time in Manhattan my Freshman year instead of going to classes; befriending a drag queen; doing a Tim Horton's advertisement; jumping off of buildings to practice parkour; delivering a speech and scholarship on behalf of my late grandmother; wondering whether to buy milk or cigarettes; writing my 100 page thesis; breakdancing with my old crew till i busted my knee; performing with my old, old band The Diet Fuck Sexercisers till half the place left; getting kicked out of school, twice; serving incredibly rich men overpriced food at a private dinner club; showing up for amateur night at the local comedy club; spending two morphine-fueled days in the hospital after surgery; partying with sabrina the teenage witch's sister; banging my head whilst crying on the steering wheel of my old car after it blew up on the highway; furtively making fun of my Cantor Spiro during my Bar Mitzvah; attending the London Mosque as an honored guest to discuss Islamic/modern world relations; smoking salvia and making "dirt angels" on the gravel of my rooftop patio; talking philosophy and playing chess with my family on our island; taking in a baby turtle I found at 18, calling him "Spike" and releasing him in my Uncle's nature preserve; selling beer to questionably aged children; selling marijuana; pawning old cd's to make rent; spending 1000 bucks on a three-day bender; winning a push-up competition in Chicago; studying epidemiological demography in my spare time; trying to make a fire in the park; sleeping in the park; reading the New Yorker religiously; making music videos; going on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication until figuring out I was just bored.These are, I believe, a few illuminating details about me. In the menagerie of one's life, it's pretty much all we're left with: disjointed yet vivid details of our past, bounded by a stream of the present, and horizoned by our future.MySpace Layouts
