About Me

I'm double jointed in my arms. I am nice. I have a nice cat. I like ice cream. i listen, purchase and partake in much music. I like Vans and if it wasn't so f'n cold during the winter in Boston I would wear them every day of the year. I don't have a car. I like movies. I subscribe to more magazines then any human should. I have two turntables (no microphone). I grew up around dairy farms. I hate paper cuts. I like fireworks. I have the same animal voice for every animal I have ever met. I like Amoeba Records in San Fran. I like Indian food. I have the unique ability to look "stoned" in pretty much any picture taken of me. I am a poltical junkie and to relax watch C-SPAN.
