About Me


I am here, for now.
Someday I will be somewhere else.
Then I won't be here anymore.
Then I will be there, but, being there, I won't say "I am there," because I will still be here, but somewhere else.
I may even be somewhere someday, but in order to be somewhere, I can be neither here nor there.
Essentially, for me to be somewhere, I'll have to be unaware of where I am.
This is rare as I usually pay attention to where I am going, so from this knowledge I can usually deduce where I am.
When that happens, I'll no longer be somewhere as I will start being here.
But here may not be here.
I think.

It hurts to think sometimes.

My Interests



Dreaming.
Hoping.
Reeling.
Cheap Greek Food.
Trying hard to impress upon others their inherent strength.
Wishing some people would realize mine.
Reading.
Playing Guitar.
Walking.
Trying to find the one who completes me.
Failing.
Learning from my mistakes.
Learning from others' mistakes.

You'll notice that my Name and my Image change constantly... this is my way of passing time until I've something better to do. If you've added me, then end up with a comment from someone you don't recognize, it's likely me.

I'm a gearhead.
I like cars.
I REALLY like the technology involved in making a car do car stuff...
I ESPECIALLY like creative car stuff, like this Renault V10 Formula One racecar that is COMPLETELY computer controlled

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has an open mind.

Anyone who thinks we should keep fucking until we're all the same color instead of constantly finding new and not-so-creative ways to divide ourselves.

And Mark Knopfler, provided he has time to sit in the shade with a couple of jazzboxes...

I want one of these... a Gitane DG320 Gypsy

Music:


Lyrics Born gives me hope for Hip-Hop.

Portishead is my warm bath... candlelit and full of bubbles.

Alice in Chains was my High School experience...

The Dave Matthews Band saw me through college...

I'm a musician.

Click on the picture of My Babies...
you can hear them sing with me...

I don't endorse anything,
but I like the shit made by the following companies:

Movies:

So Walt Disney got together with Salvador Dali and made a movie in 1948, but Disney was too much of a pussy to finish it...

Heroes:

Shel will help me raise my kids someday...

Frank Zappa will contribute, as well...

My Blog

One too many bus-stops, one too many tuesdays.

Had a real downer day today.   No reason...  I've got a new job which pays well and has me doing interesting things...  I've got some semblance of my own place...   Even kinda had ...

A long and boring, yet very cool idea.

I've been daydreaming. I have a mechanical mind.  I'm good at visualizing devices based on their principles of operation.  I can envision these devices fully in my mind.  I can see them...

The Moon as Peeping Tom

It's a Full Moon... In the Sonoran Desert, it just looks.... different from what I'm used to seeing.  Many a time I found myself walking along the Katy Trail in Missouri during a Lunar Luminated ...

So the chef threw an egg from the grill into her cleavage...

Tonight, I ate dinner in a VERY large eating establishment specializing in Japanese cuisine that was packed to the parking lot's brim with hungry examples of humanity. People. Wherever you are, there ...

Aztlan after a bit over a month.

I'm writing about nothing.  I seem to do that a lot.  What may, however, be nothing for One may prove to be rather signifigant to Another.   I've been walking a lot.  I've always w...

Convolution

I'm thinking... But I'm not thinking outloud. I'm not holding my breath on the job prospect at a local music store.  Snobbishness on all fronts seems to leave a bitter taste in my mouth.  I'...

Respect for the dead.

Visited a graveyard yesterday. Chicago Music Store. Third floor.  The building was a JC Penney until 1963 or '64... the music store came along in '67.  Guitars were hanged from the ceiling l...

Aztlan: day one, two, three...

It's interesting... When One finds oneself confused, a situation will come along that is so bizaare, yet almost unavoidable due to circumstances surrounding it. I spent the birthday of my country in a...

Thanks for the memories...

I'm close to tears. There's a lump in my throat that will not go away no matter how hard I try to laugh. Laughter is difficult in such a condition.  Almost painful. I've lived in this part of the...
