About Me

.. Band. Zine. Label. Shitty job. Not necessarily in that order...

I'm so sick of thinking about music. Being in a band and putting out records has sort of made all music sort of less than important to me. Here's what I've been listening to lately: Les Savy Fav, Archers of Loaf, Eric Dolphy, Bill Dixon, the Raspberries...
I'm sick of watching movies. I've been working at one video store or another for almost a decade now. Recently I've watched "True Stories" (my favorite Texas movie), "The Bridge" (even suicide makes me miss San Francisco), "Elephant" (the Alan Clarke film), "Live Forever" (because I'll watch just about any music documentary) and "Stolen" (because I guess I'll really watch any documentary).
I keep reading though I don't like half of it. I've read a couple of Chuck Klosterman things which were fun, though I don't agree with half of it. Peter Biskind's "Down And Dirty Pictures" is great if not just to drag Miramax and Sundance through the mud. "Stories From The City of God" by Pasolini was great.
I am 83% Punk Rock.
.. I am PUNK AS FUCK! The model punk. I care not for anything. I kick ass, but probably smell really bad. Take the

I am 75% Tortured Artist.
.. Angst, and bitter resentment drive me to create works that not a single idot will ever come close to grasping. Ah, the raw and unforgiving statements that bleed from my soul are so misunderstood. Take the

You scored as Spike. You scored as Spike. You feel like you're misunderstood. When you care for others, it's deeper than they'll ever know. Though no one thinks you'll change/pull through, you'll show them.

STILL SORE

Even with the drugs I feel like I've got needles in my stomach. I'm about to run out of Vicodin and I'm pretty nervous about it. I know I've said it before but I don't mind dying or getting hurt. It's...

SCAN

I need some help scanning. I basically need someone to make high quality, @ 300 dpi, black and white scans of all the pages of the first two issues of my fanzines. It's about 50 pgs, 8 ½ x 11. You can...

DOCTOR

I saw another Doctor today. I liked this guy. He seems to have a plan that makes sense. Gonna wait until Monday so I've been off of the antibiotics for a full week. Then he'll do more blood cultures t...

DON’T KNOW

Okay, I really don't know what to do at this point. I haven't seen or heard a word from anyone from St. David's since I got out. How do I know if I do or don't still have the infection? I've run out o...

FRAME

Waking up is the worst part of my day. First of all, when I come to, the Vicodin has usually worn off, so I'm in the midst of pretty sharp pain. I've been kidding myself that it's been getting better....

TOM CRUISE

ENDING

It's almost over: the San Francisco Giants have two games left in what has been their worst season since 1996. I loved them then and I love them now and I have some of my best memories of games in the...

MORE NUMB

Today was a long day. Vicodin three times (morning, afternoon, just now). I'm vanishing. Met with the doctor. My fever may be gone, which may be good. I'm running out of antibiotics which might be goo...
