About Me

If I was a robot i would eat robot food. If i was a couch potato i would eat couch potato food. if i was bush i would eat bush. as it is i am an adam with a robot personality with robot dreams. my caluculator is my teddy bear, my vacume cleaner is my best friend. I am a robot. My robot personality likes to take people out to eat robot burgers. the robot burgers have robot mayonaise and robot french fries (robot pomm frites) to eat with mechanical ketchup. If you do not like robots and you do not think you could climb a mountain on mechanical legs--think again.

My Interests

I've tried to make this blog a kind of travel story of my life. Usually when we travel we have a different way of looking at the things around us.

I'd like to meet:

Yulia Tymoshenko the robot, "the salvador dali of cooking" Anyone who likes to ride their bicycle for fun, to work, fast, slow, with heavy things in their hands, in spandex or wool, in the country or the city.If you like to pedal I would like to meet you.

Music:

The Coup (shout out to Boots), Diverse (who I owe $20), Audio Slave, The Night Watchman, Billy Bragg, Patti Smith, the guys playing in the basement of 128 Johnson Street tonight, the crazed punk grou Osama Bin Laden and his band the Dialysis Machines in Hiding, Woody Gutherie, Django, Wilco, Buster Poindexter, Steve Earle, Prentice Berge and the Spils.

Books:

Any and all of them. Mandatory reading list: Appointment at Samara, Too Loud a Solitude, 21 Love Poems and a Song of Dispair, Dreaming of Babylon. Also: I Served the King of England.
