About Me

I have an Irish name; my mother came from Sweden. My cousins were pretty little blonde girls who looked like angels and made pancakes in the sunlight-bathed kitchen. I grew up in that decade of rusty fences and battered ice-cream trucks; the gritty but honest little nebula between the failure of the hippies and the onslaught of neon-blue urban renewal. Even Sesame Street was a bit funky, back then. My mother spoke of trolls and pixies in the forest of her childhood; my father played old 78 records from decades earlier, of singers crying out to eternal loves...so I fell in love with ghosts. I went to progressive and arty schools for the most part, the one exception being a year of ISU, in the aptly-named "Normal, Illinois". I may one day plant explosives in that little burg and obliterate it from the face of the earth, but there are other things I want to do first. I'm a filmmaker (you can see clips in my videos), a songwriter (try one of the the tasty morsels on this very page) and a cartoonist (you can see pages in my pics)...I also act and write, and I've done a lot of children's theatre. My work is eclectic in style and usually deals with Dreams, Time and Love. If I won a billion dollars in a lottery, I'd make a billion-dollar art film with preposterous special effects, musical numbers and pornographic acts. My foremost priority is self-knowledge; I tend toward non-conformity and generally encourage people to run away with the circus. I'm extroverted, introspective, a good listener and have learned to make a mean Swedish pancake myself. 

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

God. I just want twenty minutes alone with Him in a back alley or storeroom.

Hmm

Today I was walking down the street when I fell into an open manhole and landed right on my head. My friends are telling me I should see a doctor, but I feel fine fine. I really don't see any reason t...

Isadora Duncan

Isadora Duncan was strangled to death when the scarf she was wearing got caught in the motor of the car she was driving. That's how she died.

And then today

Today I told Fred that all I really wanted in the world was peace among men. He said that was stupid, so I kicked him in the stomach.

Today

Today I did not have a kleenex, and I sneezed, blowing snot all over the room.

YAY!

I'm in Shaboigan now! It's wonderful! The best part is, there's no-one around around to disturb me while I'm training. And no more Tom & Phyllis. Thank God. They were so blasted weird.

Glory Be!

Tomorrow I'm moving out to Shaboigan. I'm SO glad. Three meals a day, do you know what I eat? Different kinds of plants. That's what we eat at Tom & Phyllis' house. Sometimes they actually build a fir...

Still more Tom & Phyllis

Pretty soon I won't have to live with Tom & Phyllis, anymore. I found a nice apartment in Shaboigan. It will be nice to live in Shaboigan. That's where I had my first hot dog. It tasted pretty good, t...
