About Me

i'm boring, but fun sometimes.

well i don't really use myspace all that much anymore; mainly just to stay up with old friends. i use facebook much more.

so i float a lot between wanting things to be really prescriptive and rigid and colonialist, and more carefree deeply humanist. this leaves me in conflict a lot which makes it hard to think of something accurate that i could write here. i also like to joke about suicide a lot, but i think that makes me sound way creepier than i actually am lol.

Woodrow Wilson, "Doc" Emmitt Brown

Music:

gatecrasher classics, the divine comedy, d smith originals, luke smith and the feelings, the velvet underground, the cure, U2, the decemberists, picturebox, lou reed, the magnetic fields, morrissey, wes anderson soundtracks

Movies:
