I am here for Friends

About Me

everytime i walk through fallen leaves i shuffle my feet
i subscribe to the ogden nash view on ice breaking
i know i need the winter to appreciate the spring
i find myself liking crooked noses and crooked teeth more and more as i get older
i drink like an unmannered fish
i make some of the best snowflakes you will ever see
i've got a weakness for bars with photobooths
i've been told i'm stubborn like a wee donkey
i want to dance everytime i hear barry white's "can't get enough of your love"
when i see wing-backed chairs i think of alice cooper..for the obvious reasons
i can't handle the effort if there are no results
i sometimes take pictures of my food when i go out to eat
the minute i feel sick i become strangely obsessed with the temperature of my forehead

My Interests



over heard conversations
snapshots
pint glasses filled with Guinness
bottles filled with scotch
men in kilts
the pixels that make on-line comics
sundays full of nothing and everything
the looks that han solo gives
the lovely accents that come from across the pond
the lines and colours that make plaid
the whiskey & cigarettes of tom waits voice
photographs from the cameras of:
nan goldin
joel-peter witkin
david lachapelle
and just a general interest in learning things

also, the simple html code that makes up
my simple photography website:
stealingsouls.tripod.com

lackluster political knowledge

i know i have it.  me and the news, let's face it, we aren't friends.  i do like history, however.  i guess it's gotta be a good 20 years after something has happened to make it in...

...and those were the days of roses, poetry and prose

topping the actual "i saw you/missed connection" posts are the ones where people gut themselves anonymously to the past love of their life.  or sometimes the current unrequited love.   ...
