About Me

I've said goodbye a thousand times over and it still has not sunk in.
All that remains of you after sharing with the places we shared together sits on a self looking at me every day.
You made my life better than I knew it could be.
A new friend has taken the physical place you left behind.
He is stunning and fun and reminds me of you in so many ways.
He is not you though and never could be.
You changed my life Dizzy.
Thank you so much for sharing the beauty of your life with me.
You will never be forgotten.

My Interests

live music, interesting beers, Irish history, history in general, dual-line kites, videography, video editing, body mods, freedom of expression, nice clothes, road trips, cycling

I'd like to meet:

Spud, for a fucked up druggie he's go the right priorities

Music:

Yes please. Live is better and smaller shows are best. I could list everything, but that would take more space than anyone would want to read.
mclusky, Cash, Joe Williams, Joe Strummer, Diz and Bird, Mogwai, The Nips, Dropkick Murphys, Jonny Lang, Ol Blue Eyes, Gerry Mulligan, Carl Orff, Buzzcocks, BBVD, Eric Bibb, The Wanteds, Van Morrison, The Hold Steady

Movies:

Films that make me think, films that make me laugh, and to be honest some films that make me cry
Specifically: Welles, Kubrick, Lynch, Lucas, indie films that touch on real human emotions and responses, Jackson, Liam Neeson, Adrian Brodie, Edward Norton, Sean Patrick-Flannery, and of course Bogey. If I were to go into the female side of things my fingers would grow sore from the exultation of the talents of, when it comes down to it, pretty much every single Golden Age era lady and a scant few of more recent experience.

Television:

I make the stuff

Books:

I like books, pretty much any book, especially real sci-fi.

Heroes:

Michael Collins and my Mom

Pardon me for being self-righteous

I had a few good conversations tonight with a number of differing people about "straight edge" and what it means. Now I will fully admit to being a drunk and well, that's about it. In 28 years and ...

Girl you're wanted like a wanted man with your smart mouth and your killer hands

Tonight I had the opportunity to say good bye to the single most influential person in my life in the last four years. I was told by this exceptional person that the times we have spent in the last fe...

Well it seems like in this life that I was born to let it shine

Life is more than good. It is stressful, frustrating, invigorating, confusing, challenging, wounderous, exhausting, exhilarating, relaxing, loving, and so much more. I can feel the changes that I have...

And I'll be with all of the golden hearts

I was named for two people in my father's life. The first was his Uncle. A man who if I ever met I certainly do not recall. The other, his best friend. Uncle Earl has been a living legend all my life....

Hes walking along with his soul in his lungs. Ya stare at him long you can find a new song.

I woke up this morning and for some reason the first thing I really saw was a tie on my tie rack. It kind of makes sense as the tie rack is almost directly opposite my bed and this tie is a pulled a b...

Each morning I dream of twighlight and wait for your glow

Sorry friends. I'm just stuck in a big rut and can not get off my arse enough to wallow in the self pity that I would be covering this with if I could. That sounds much worse than I mean, but I'm a b...
