About Me



I play music, and I write things. I am also full of useless information. It is FUN.

You can also find me on:
Livejournal :: Facebook :: Last.fm :: Flickr

project.

My life turns. It spins, it revolves. Like film on a reel, unspooling at 24 frames a second, spliced and taped together to make a simulacrum of an existence. So far, so good, I suppose. Dim the lights...

a house.

Call this a lullaby, I suppose.Needs must, and needs demand, and thusly we all end up meeting between want, desire, and disavowal. Oh well, move on, nothing more to see here, just write the phrases ou...
