About Me



Brushing the teeth furiously before your appointment because when you get to the dentist's you just don't want to hear it. I've said things that I've meant, but shouldn't have said. I fill coffee cups up too high. I'm guilty of not putting my tools away and eating way too much mayonnaise. I almost went to art school. I've never had a guitar lesson. In dreams, I cannot properly explain myself over the telephone, nor can I scream. When I'm on, I'm on. When I'm not, it's like listening to two radios playing two different songs at the same time, but more importantly, what about you?

I edited my profile with an ice pick, an avocado, a snorkel and my big ass imagination.

My Interests

Singing, Dancing, Guitar Playing, Record player static, Catching the last few seconds of a favorite song on the radio, the way my guitars sound when they're tuned the right way, the way my daughter talks, standing on the end of a dock first thing in the morning, my brown cowboy boots, Margarita Salt, orchids, coffee, thunder storms, Green Curry, fog lifting off a river when it's cold out, mowing the lawn, making others laugh, Cabo Wabo Tequila, the smell of chlorine coming from a swimming pool or bleached laundry, getting dirty, the rare occasion of a good night's sleep, Limes, remembering my dreams, pushing myself until my muscles ache, the sound of bathwater running from two rooms away, the view of St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral from I95 going over the Androscoggin River Bridge, taking that chance, getting it, being gotten, all things Canadian, cooking, the anxiousness and adrenaline that comes with doing something risky for the first time, taking pictures, that relief when the ice is broken and comfort sets in, Shiraz wine, feeling inspired, being in the company of friends, succeeding and appreciating that I've learned something from the mistakes that I've made along the way, the walk back to my car with the song Ol' 55 playing in my head, and you, you interest me too...

I'd like to meet:

People that can make a Kazoo out of an empty raisin box.

Books:

We purchase books because we make ourselves believe that we are also purchasing the time to read them. I have shelves full of them, waiting and collecting dust.

I had this dream last night...

in which I was hanging out with Slash in the house I grew up in. He was critiquing my guitars, and being very polite about my lack of reasoning in owning them. I think I just answered my own question....
