'Hello,' I said with my own voice.

About Me

My Interests

Life. Writing songs and/or poetry, engaging in meaningless activities, getting fat, doin' nothin', playin' n' singin' the blues ... whether it be on the guitar, piano, or my trusty ol' harmonica. Reading and that goes for underneath a tree reading as well. Playing/watching football (no, not the yank version of it). Taking care of and loving my little gal (she may have wings but she's still my little darling).

I'd like to meet:

This sounds as if I have to go out of my way to accomplish. Nevertheless, anything as easy as anyone willing to sit down for a cup of tea ;)

Movies:

older flicks more than contemporary. But either way ... not exactly my dept.

Television:

is for people that cannot entertain themselves, but a little tv don't hurt no one, dig? sometimes whatever is on will do. Although The tele serves as nice background sound when you're doing something else. But if anything ... toons, cops, "learning" channels like animal/discovery, national geographic/history, and classic movie ch.'s cause the ol' tube ain't doin' much good nowadays ...

Books:

or just about anything with words of course. The Teachings of Don Juan, In His Own Write, Sounder, the "news," history, National Geographic -- anything that catches my eye cause I lost the other back in 'nam.
