Gilgamesh

Honesty is crippling.

About Me

Renaissance man.

My Interests

Singing.

The vulva.

Singing about the vulva.

Devastating insight.

Food.

Theatre.

Writing

Creativity.

I'd like to meet:

The voices in my head.

My father at 30.

The ghost of Jim Neighbors.

Rasputin.

Music:

Anything. Everything. Music is the song of life.

Movies:

Oh jeez... here we go again. I can laugh at scary movies, cry at comedies, get bored during action movies and be on the edge of my seat during an epic classic.

Television:

Don't watch it. Will not tolerate commercials. I WILL, however, watch House MD on DVD, Carnivale' on DVD, Deadwood on DVD, etc...

Books:

Grendel by John Gardner, Schrodinger's Cat by Robert Anton Wilson, Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy.

Heroes:

My father. Myself for surviving.
Live life
Live life like you're gonna die
Because you're gonna
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But you're gonna die
Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you'll be saying
Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?
Now, maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
Because you're gonna die.
Yes it's gonna happen because it's happened to a lot of people I know
My mother, my father, my loves
The president, the kings and the pope
They all had hope
And they muttered just before they went
Maybe, I won't let go
Live life like you're gonna die
Because you are
Maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
'Cause you're gonna die
I tell you who else left us
Passed on down to heaven no longer with us
Johnny Cash, JFK, that guy in the Stones
Lou Gehrig, Einstein, and Joey Ramone
Have I convinced you?
Do you read my lips?
This may come as news but it's time
You're gonna die
You're gonna die
By the time you hear this I may well be dead
And you my friend might be next
'Cause we're all gonna die
Yeah, oh maybe you won't suffer and maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
You'll have time cause you're gonna die
Yes, you're gonna die
You're gonna die, I tell you
You're gonna die
You are gonna die
'Cause maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time 'cause you're gonna die
Live Life
Life life like you're gonna die
Because you're going to
Oh yes
I hate to be the beater of bad news
But you're gonna die
Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you'll be saying
Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time, baby
You'll have time
'Cause you're gonna die
You are gonna die
Oh yeah

You'll Have Time by William Shatner
