Music, film, cats, dogs, pets, more music, movies, books, some more music, more movies, too many online games, lots of music, writing, even more music, guitar, yes more music, geeky computery stuff, reality TV junkie (not as much tho anymore), did I say music?
I'd like to meet:
I first wrote what was here like three years ago or something and I don't suppose much has changed. After getting badgered to death, I mainly set up a profile here to touch base with and hoping to run across some friends both old and newer, and hopefully stay in touch a little better, because I'm lousy at it sometimes, so this has sort of been exercise in efficiency. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much. I love the fact that I've been able to reconnect with so many folks from the old indie music scene tho, and meet many many new ones over the last several years, so that part's cool. Hope to keep hearing from old pals and indie music scene allies, and lost Graffiti souls, as well as whoever else.

The World According to Paul Westerberg...
"The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand..." (Paul Westerberg)
