For you, I've got five

About Me

goofball

My Interests

Skateboarding and reading and chilling and wondering what it would be like to be a grown up. Derek is a pre-teen terror. We need to get into more monkey business together; you know, throwing a brick through the other guys windshield. Um, Sarah. Partner in crime, all the time.

I'd like to meet:

Myself, ten or twelve years ago. Funny people, real people, really, funny people, feely, runny people. Furry, blurry people.

Music:

Magnetic Fields a lot lately. Hot Tuna. Diabolical Biz Markie.

Movies:

Hm, what's next... The Graduate, Office Space, maybe we can try Monty Python again. Late fees are almost as bad as unpaid traffic tickets.

Television:

I remember the when I thought that the Dukes of Hazzard was the coolest thing on the planet

Books:

You Shall Know Our Velocity

Heroes:

Derek, for putting up with me. I guess he has no choice, but he does an admirable job.

No epitaphs

I am not qualified to write epitaphs. I can not write a whole story. I am loud today and silent tomorrow, reticent, complacent or negligent.I hit concrete, but not hard enough to break it. I am not we...

Sketch book blues, etc

This is about my sketch book. I do not draw well. I write and hope that you see pictures of ideas when you read. Is it ok if I write words in my sketch book instead of drawing? I think I'll be more cl...

TT’d and PX’d

Writing about other writing is accepting that life is good as a shadow.I once read twenty-something pages about the meaning of the horses in Taming the Shrew. Horses were women, men treated their hors...

Two for ones, doom and dread

The doom is back. It never really completely goes away. Yes, it does. I should say it's never really here. I am going in circles. I am around. I was going to give up. I never did. I feel it anyway. I ...

Catching up with mysels

I have tried to be nicer, but it turns out I was better off when I was an asshole. Things get latched on to my legs and I am covered with barnacles. So much and so many that I can't even jump. I can't...
