About Me

Oh, the many-splendored joys of spinning a good yarn. First there's the hook, never mind the cut of the barbs, go right ahead, just set your eyes on the bait. Yes, she's a purty one ain't she, all wrigglin' and battin' them there eyelashes. And oh lawd, justa lookit those lovely locks and fancy dress, too much to take in in one sittin'. So, the meat flows all inbetween, slighty below the surface of course, but its there all right, trust me. Much like the faded glow of a beer belly in a last-minute hot tub dip after all the party guests have left, the man in the wrinkled grey suit yammers on, nursing a scotch and licking his wounds, hardly listening to himself.

My Interests

inciting general malaise, drinking fermented liquids, the OuLiPo, wonderin' how I can incorporate more of a hip-hop sensibility into my world, 'pataphysics, real honesty, French pop, future plans for fruit and vegetable jarring, cooking various meats at once, peddlin' them books, Waylon and Willie, what's softer than softcore?, rhythmic noises that get issued onto CDs, things that look nice and I don't have to buy, three drink conversations, French gangster films, calling people "hipsters" while I'm talkin' on my cell phone in a bathroom in a bar, writing poems about nature's inhumanity to capitalism, taking stuff offa shelves and callin' it Art and gettin' pieces of paper that cost me thousands of dollars that I don't pay that says I am authorized to do so, perfecting "the Mexican breakfast", hating "the dead arts", watching my girl cultivate succulents and cacti, collecting western-style shirts, trying to believe I can actually sleep in, whew.
