About Me

Born in Boston somewhere between when the Summer of Love became the Summer of Hate and Murder, I began to toddle and dress up in the 70's, functionally grew up in the early 80's at various now-non-existent Beantown clubs (the Rat, the Channel....), went to college in same-said town. Uh, this Gen X n'er-do-well now spends whatever free time he has available in the garage painting and writing songs and indulging in a pint or two. Generally turning up the vintage ampage to eleven and annoying the neighbors. Having accomplished various and sundry wee little life goals (shown paintings in NYC, recorded and distributed first CD, working on second, published poetry and short stories multiple times in semi-disreputable journals, art-directed feature length film, etc...), now illustrating a children's book and otherwise in search of continued adventures involving the above or the new New. Currently renovating an 1880's farmhouse at the mouth of Narragansett Bay. After a hard day's work at home or at, uh, work, I unwind by blowing people's heads off on GTA's Vice City. I dunno, there's just something soothing about it, even for this committed pacifist... Anyhoo, I also enjoy gardening, reading, knitting and taking naps... At the moment, I am engaged with a variety of musician friends on graphic design and promotion.... and hanging with the fam and caring for our extended menangerie: Millie the Hampster, Tillie the Cat and our Pekingese: Otis! Missing many of my ol' friends who are scattered all over the globe generally being fabulous... just kinda hoping to re-establish some lost contacts and make some new ones... blah... blah... blah...Layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts

The thing about not being at work...

The thing that sucks about taking a couple of days off is that you tend to bump into people who have days off. Like, permanently. And they tend to be annoying...They might be old people, they might be...

As an amusing aside...

My cousin Heather stars on the front cover of the new "Unnatural Axe" tribute album as Hitler's severed head. A dubious honor for one so pretty, but amusing nonetheless.My cousin as Hitler.

As most of you know I've spent the last month or so in the hospital with my dad. Between work and going to Boston, I haven't really had much time to think, nevermind write (or drink, though I've tried...

totally awesome movie

This Swedish indie gem is making the rounds of the arthouse cinemas. Catch it if you can. It's a "vampire" movie. It involves youngsters. It's kind of a love story. Most of the reviews start: "Fuck Tw...

Go, birdman, go!

Repost from cancer monkey:This is harrowing and beautiful. But I must say, I'm not going to try it. It looks like fun, but I'm not really into activities wherein the first time you fuck up is the last...

Whiners and hypocrites

It's been amusing, if pathetic, to listen to "the losers" in this past year's election complain about public misconceptions of their president and his policies. They've pretty much been chalking it up...
