About Me

BULL/OX, and worth every penny. i'm stubborn, i'm vivacious, but i'm not really as complex as it all sounds. i have simple needs. i've been a lot of places and seen a lot of things - but not nearly enough. For every inch they have taken, i will make it up in miles.====================================================== ===========================================================i 'm currently working on "the great american novel:it sucks". i have a sneaking suspicion that my calling involves running a junque/arty shop in a small city that still has a bit of charm but also some working class stiffs like me, and you. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------- ALSO : I NEED A WINDOW... like a wooden framed, one panel window, approx. 3 x 3 ft. or some rectangular facsimile to have space to work on(not 5 x 6 inches, if you catch my drift)...the frame need not be in good painted condition/wear and tear is fine...let me know if you got a spare ;)

My Interests

strawberry hairties vs. clawclips, hardware stores vs. art supply stores, typewriters vs. puters, safety pins vs. paperclips, rock vs. disco, bill burroughs vs. jim carroll, manifestos vs. decrees, salty vs. sweet.

I'd like to meet:
