About Me

the sound things make, like "brrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmm." i've been eating almanacs in preparation for FUCK IT SUMMER 2007. extensively working on mending our collective unhappiness-there is little that cake and coffee cannot fix, except maybe war, prostate cancer and suicide. PS. Hypnosis works.

My Interests

magic, peanut butter on everything, other countries, birds, medium-sized dogs, philosophy, too tall trees, riding bikes fast downhill, not uphill, the 1980's, radios, bricks, water, windows, maps, cake, elbow grease, weather patterns, anarchist sunday school, sweet talkin', teen angst, gas station coffee, motels, punks and Rothko.

I'd like to meet:

peter pan. ian mckaye circa 1983. roberto benigni.

Music:

the mountain goats, neil young, bruce springsteen, fugazi, minutemen, the mekons, journey, jawbreaker, david bowie, the beach boys, john prine, lifter puller.

Movies:

Heroes:
