I am here for Friends

About Me

It's my belief that history is a wheel. "Inconsistency is my very essence" -says the wheel- "Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don't complain when you are cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it is also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away".

My Interests

Guitars,IU basketball, OVERACHIEVING, and general post-modernist philosophy. Indie Rock bands that don't sound like every other fucking indie rock band, indie rock girls that aren't vegetarian, nothing with bling-bling, always starting my day by putting on my left shoe first, researching WWII and Planning WWIII, silently detoxing in a dark room, hustling junkies, hiding simplicity with big words, reading profiles of some of the fucking retards on this site, and peeing in the sink...Working on my career and becoming successful.

I'd like to meet:

Everybody has some level of bullshit to them--I tend to get along best with those who can openly admit that.

Music:

First and foremost I hate Techno (detroit) and House (chicago). I think that if God intended music to be played by fucking machines and sound like robots fighting, he woudn't have created guitars...with that said I do enjoy the melodious soungs of: The Beatles, the Fab four, the silver beatles, and the beatles again for fukin' good measure, Blind Melon, Happy Mondays, Michael Paradinos, Squarepusher, sodastream, the sundays, the smiths, the Rolling Stones, the Stone Roses, the Charalatans, Leonard Cohen, enigma, Hank Williams sr., The sundays, EchoBelly, The Magnetic Fields, Django Rheinhardt, placebo, segovia, Catatonia, Medicine, the bluetones, David Bowie, the Beatles,Sam Cooke, afghan whigs, the twilight singers,early suede, Heather Nova, the who, Cab Calloway, Brian Eno, Samiam, Anonymous Four, Leonard Cohen, Terry Lee Hale, Appleseed Cast, tool,Love Battery, longwave Sebadoh, Teenage Fanclub, Patsy Cline, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, Oasis, Jane Seiberry, MC 5, and if you're still reading at this point I commend you....

Movies:

Clockwork Orange, Patton, Trainspotting, the Crow, Coolhand Luke..

Television:

I watch what I can when I can, I always have it on, but seldomly pay much attention to it. Too many distractions.

Books:

Right now I'm reading the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and Melmoth the Wanderer.

Heroes:

Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Ernest Hemingway, The Dalia Lama, Tony Wilson and someone else really special.

Books on tape

I've recently become cosey with books on tape...or books on iPod rather. Before you roll your eyes (I'll admit it is lazy) you have to realize that they do have their place. When your schedule is fu...

Just and illusion caused by the world spinning 'round

On days when I wake up late (sleep-in, if you will) I feel like it is someone else's day...I'm just making my way through it. On days when I get up earlier than the natural waking world, I feel like ...
