Lets end isolation.

About Me

Ah, the "sum-it-up," part. Well, cut a slice of my day and throw it on a microscope: oversleeping, underdressing, cussing, spitting, ball of nerves. I prefer small luxuries to large necessities. I enjoy reading and finding new authors/books to spend time with. I like listening to, reading about, and discussing music; I especially enjoy punk, post-punk, prog, math, and all tunes of quality. I hate "Dave," and most hippies with guitars who do horrible covers of "Hootie," and "Classic Phish." I believe strongly in the need to punch Bono, Buffet, Dave, and Hootie in the face for every Joe-College-idiot who is inspired to play guitar because of them. I do believe that a revolution will happen, I just don't think anytime soon - so I don't get into the whole militant anarcho-stuff. I guess I'm just a lazy pessimist.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

The older I get, the more ridiculous the wishlist: Part 1

So I can't believe it.  25 years old.  One person who I find extremely cool, who happens to be older, and who doesn't bullshit around said that 25 is a great year.  But I'm having troub...

Mister Pee Pee and a lack of bloodlust

As I begin another (yes another) year of college, I realize that I am only perpetuating my fear of becoming a "citizen."  Thats right.  To be without the soft, yellow, fuzzy blanket of "stud...

A toothache is a terrible ailment.  The pain, usually sharp and quick or long and dull, is right there in your face.  It is like having someone screaming inside of your mouth, rattling your ...

Like Life

The highlight of my summer has been this book, Like Life, by Lorrie Moore.  Too bad it has only taken a couple of days to read it.  I think Lorrie Moore is the smartest contemporary fiction ...

Essential Logic

I am in a strange place.  It's weird how life settles into funny paces, how days become weeks and they are all kind of the same.  Lately I spend my time divided equally between sleep, visiti...
