the modest option.

I've been a better lover, with your mother.

About Me

I do things. And occasionally cause things to be done. or to happen, in any case. I happen to people.
Happen to me.

Want to help me stay off the street and have a fun time doing it? Seeing my face in your town could be just a click and a donation away! Plus, think of the good karma points.

My Interests

past present future
renewal

my dingo. my oldest young bird of a friend. proud owner of the deadliest pair of bedroom eyes you've ever seen and possibly the chilliest look of scorn. she talks funny sometimes, and thinks she's a french movie gal. favorite.

my block of chedda. the only piece of cheese too lovely to eat. she buys me a soda, buys me a soda, but we're usually pretty restrained in the parking lot. we hunt camels.

play on piano pants. it's a FUCKING PARTY isn't it?!? ask the big softy. this god of thunder has it his way and will have you too if you're not careful. i mean, i fell for it. but that was then. to the defeatable. one.. two.. NASA!!

california dreamin' is all we do. we're different people when we're together, and wouldn't you like to meet us. she's the wacka to my doo and we're gonna beat some bitch's ass!

dirt birds! the first person ever to support my alcohlism. the thinker of ridiculous thoughts and my co-pilot on a crazy drunk plane to take a stand as the coolest kids at the party. he owns The Vest.

the devil on my shoulder. getting trashed and stealing lawn ornaments was as low-key as anything like this could have begun. jesus, in a way, has looked over our relationship from day one. that's why we pay bums to scale buildings. we'll steal your mom a potted plant.

the provider of grilled cheese and other greasy, cheesy foods to appease my belly. the shady turkey. if you see the one eye, then you know its way past party time for this foul fowl. the one and only, casio casanova

sometimes she's most things. reclusive, a tad. she draws in the details of my swirly nothings and then inks them on her body. we touch webs even though it feels quite invasive. we had vices, and then we had jager. we like b movie PORN. ya!

our little musing muse. we drove through peaches for hours. worst/best burger kick ever and dear god, FREE JUINIOR FROSTYS? beck sang us to sleep and we'll wake up some day.

a terrible macD. a bad liar but a damn good storyteller. you'll be convinced your name is reese's pieces by the end of the night. saver of sad lives and ruiner of still others. we've got serious beef. the only brother i need.

I'd like to meet:

lounge lizards.
kings of men.
counters of pennies.
people that sold my mother drugs when she was young.
people on the line.
me. you.

I dream of... Coppage?

Mawwiage.

  I'm thinking it's going to be pretty cool. In fact, I'm more into the idea every day. Somewhat random people are already referring to us as the other's fiance. Don't you wish you had a smiling ...

The sound the tree doesn't make when it falls in the forest when no one's around.

I'm reading Ken Kesey's Sometimes A Great Notion.  It's turning me all sorts of pretty colors.  Still on the hooch, though working and trying to BE. Not too stressed out about anything. I'v...

alcoholism and the sunshine

i've been drinking too much lately. my parents just gave me money for gas, and the first thought that came to mind was that it was enough for a full tank and a full handle of something cheap to keep m...

TODAY i think.

i should tan more. or post nudes or something. drinking gets boring if you don't keep things moving. cry for help? possibly. probably more like a cry for a stoning.

today i think

there seems to be something about me that urges events and people to leave things and me halfway through whatever is trying to happen. i'm not holding anything back if you're asking the right question...
