About Me

So one time, I went to muddies, and I had a cup of coffe. And then I went to the Bulldog and had a burger and a beer. And when I was finished, I went back to my car which was parked near the coffee shop. But when I got there, I realised that I didn't have my keys. Damn. (not unusual for me) I wasn't sure if I'd left them at the coffee house or at the bar. I was carying a bunch of stuff so I decited to walk over to the car and leave it there while I looked. And then I got close to the car. And I heard something. I heard... the car. My car. It was running.Thanks everyone for not stealing my car.

My Interests

Talking with my hands. Fire crackers. Robots. Hiding things that don't belong to me. Monkeys, ninjas and pirates. That moment when I know I'm going to fall down but it hasn't quite happened yet.

Music:

A bunch of bands you've never heard of. And then a few that you really like, just so you know that the ones you've never heard of are in good taste.

Movies:

I watch whatever shows up in the mailbox.

Television:

Come on, we all watch the same thing. And it starts with "Flight of the..."

Books:

A huge category. I read a lot of fiction. Would like to read more non-. I love Dumas, Irving, Steinbeck, Atwood, Sedaris... I like filling my bedroom with books I know I want to (or should want to) read. I buy them faster than they get read. I'm trying to use the library more. I also enjoy reading a lot of counter-culture stuff. I like true stories of people hitchhiking around Ireland with a fridge, street performance, or starting fake clubs. And I like art books, mostly about graffiti. Oh, and I like comic books. Chris Ware, Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Sam Kieth... I'm open to suggestions.

Heroes:

Any author who doesn't put their photo on the book jacket. As soon as I see their face, I'm disillusioned.

My Blog

The Considerate Burglar

It's the second time in the past month that my car has been broken into.  Well, actually, I have to revise that.  It hasn't been broken into because it isn't ever locked.  (My key doesn...

Don't Let Those Cars Get You Down

I'm pedaling away about as fast as I can at this point and all I'm thinking is, "I think I can beat this car."  I mean, I have to.  I'm already right in front of it.  But then I'm think...

Feronia

   It's a secret street.  Tucked away in this residential neighborhood behind the railyard, just beyond the diesel truck station, sits a little blue house with fake wood siding and a re...

If I can make it there...

Well, first of, thank you to everyone who participated in the raffle that sent me to NYC this past weekend.  It was a phenomenal time.  I spent the majority of the raffle's profits on b...

Home Sick

So, most of you are aware that I'm prety incompetent when it comes to computers.  But I am learning.  Take this for example;  I'm home sick today so I have a lot of time to sit and tool...

The new kid

Okay, it honestly took me about 25 minutes to figure out how to sign into my own account.  Be nice to me... I'm new.
