About Me

"tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And then one fine morning— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

"What will happen now is an interesting process where my mind slowly adjusts the colour, brightness and contrast to a point where nuances become indistinguishable. Then, using a fine fine ballpoint pen (let's say 0,7) , it fills in the lines inbetween, correcting all mistakes, undoing all past heartaches. I am of course painfully aware of the historical document this small talk serves as but I beg you not to remind me of my sad days for a while. Just let me pick out the raisins out of the dull bun." oh jens!

"Barry: I wanna date a musician.
Rob Gordon: I wanna live with a musician. She'd write songs at home and ask me what I thought of them, and maybe even include one of our little private jokes in the liner notes.
Barry: Maybe a little picture of me in the liner notes.
Dick: Just in the background somewhere."
