About Me

So simple-minded he can't drive his module/Bites on the neon and sleeps in a capsule/ Loves to be loved...

My Interests

Likes: alleyways better than streets, thick fog and golden sunlight, and people that will take a joke so far that it isn't a joke anymore/then is again/then isn't/then is/and on and on. ......................................................... ... Random interests: survivalism with a smile, moments of flow, making very small sculpture, plants poisonous and edible, synchronicities that tell you important things about your direction in life, Aubrey Beardsley, snowshoeing in winter and khayaking in summer, and making good soup. Oh, and smashing Aussie faces.

I'd like to meet:

Friends with whom to experience beauty in any of its infinite forms. Practical romantics and skeptical mystics.

I Need a Hero (Job)

Do you think everyone has a job that they are suited to by nature? My family have been soldiers for generations. I'm not going that way, but my brother and I were raised like previous Hermsen boys- a...

If Only

A tourist walks into a curio shop and sees a life-like bronze statue of a rat. He asks the salesmen, "How much?" The salesman replied, "12 bucks for the rat and 100 bucks for ...

Baile Conjunto

Recently I'm really enjoying Mexican radio, with all the tuba, accordion, horns and wailing in Spanish. When visiting my parents in eastern Washington, I listen to a lot of this stuff (the alternative...

Water Under the Bridge

Water used to scare the shit out of me. Not the stuff in your bathtub or the Perrier you're sipping, or even a fast river with class IVs and the occasional sharp rocks. No, the ocean... A year or t...

Usury

Most major religions once considered the charging of interest on a loan to be a crime: usury. Jesus condemned it (actually, he rioted against it and fucked shit up, which was what really got him stuck...
