About Me

this whole world is weird and wild on top. Paintings are mine... Photos are Kim's...You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

My Interests

Painting... kayaking, roadtrips, foreigners, beer, discovering new beers, bars, music. It's important to live in different cities. I WAS GETTING IN TO crackhead observations when they were doing their stuff in that cubbyhole across from my kitchen window but since that guy got shot across the street from me the cops have kinda steered the homies clear of There for a while. I felt better about making the crackhead documentary after I got my building to put bars up on my first floor windows.

I'd like to meet:

the people who know who sings this song:I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton Me and her went for a ride, sir, and ten innocent people diedFrom the town of Lincoln, Nebraska, with a sawed-off .410 on my lap Through the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my pathI can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done At least for a little while, sir, me and her we had us some funThe jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chestSheriff, when the man pulls that switch, sir, and snaps my poor head back You make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lapThey declared me unfit to live, said into that great void my soul'd be hurled They wanted to know why I did what I did, well, sir, guess there's just a meanness in this world...and the heroes.
