Stop destroying the planet! Its where I keep all my stuff.

About Me

So-- I am rarely appropriate and hardly polite. I won't act like I have good taste, I just like what I like. I take big risks sometimes but I'm sure everyone thinks they do. I like the monotony of the psychoanalitical. I like art. Momento Mori. I do best when I have little. I love the rain and waiting. I like facing people who aren't paying any mind. I love Appalachia. I often think about Asanti linguists more often then I check my e-mail. I don't keep promises to myself. I dispise pseudo-intellectuals as much as the valley-talk phenom. I did not learn enough to justify my college education. I'm a cafe rat, by profession even. I don't like nice cars. I like sitting on top of walls. You can learn more about people sitting at a bus stop than you can by watching television. What more do you need?

Don't be real... be post-modern

What is it about distance that permits clarity?  Emerson once said "The field cannot be seen from within the field".  I loved that quote through highschool when I was in my neo-existential p...

Fat Tuesday, afros, sweatervests and politics

I remember sitting on a stool between shots and chasers.  I remember a clip of star wars played on the screen at the bar and wishing I spent more time with my dad.  I remember the whole...

next step?

I am very seriously thinking about applying for Peace Corps. I have been talking to former volunteers and the more I learn the scarier it gets. I want to go to grad school but I haven't really found...

"Here mom... I'm poor"

Ok, so I R-E-A-L-L-Y need to go back to my old job or find a new one because bills are balls. What happens to an art major? Seriously you are either 1) Sucessful (for like an hour), 2) crazy and hav...
