be a criminal, be a hero

About Me

Today a kind in my class proudly stood up, gathered as much confidence as he could, and wrote largely on the whiteboard "I AM A JENIOUS." I decided not to laugh so that the rest of the class might be convinced. Why wouldn't he be a jenious?

My Interests

Brazil circa 1967-1969, everything else

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can teach me to play an instrument, Corbet, Joanna Newsom, Gal Costa, James Joyce, David Byrne, Caetano Veloso, Marilyn Monroe, Toni Morrison, Edward Said, a few anatomists (if that's how you correctly say it), a really good masseuse, people who care more about content than spelling, Pedro Almodovar, George Elliot, William Butler Yeats, Gilberto Gil, Jello Biafra, Helio Oiticica, Judith Butler, Scout Niblett, Yoko Ono, Marie Curie, Pauline Oliveros, Oscar Wilde, Joseph Mallard William Turner, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Pam Grier, Flo Jo, Nietzche, Alfred Jarry, Rrose Selavy, Grace Jones, Roland Barthes, civil rights leaders whom have no holidays, someone who knows a lot about herbology and not all the bullshit stuff neither, a cool canadian, an acrobat

Music:

Beautiful stuff.

Heroes:

Kids from Half Moon Bay, understated geniuses, anyone who never gave up being who they are.

Caribbean Bay!!
