About Me

If you don't "get" my name, you aren't smart enough to be my friend!**************MY GOLDEN RULE OF FRIENDING*****************No msg, no add! Want me for a friend? Send me a msg 1st! MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

POLITICS...like the bumper sticker sez "If you're not appalled, you're not paying attention." Poetry and live music. At one point I was writing and compiling articles for a zine to promote live music in my town. But now that I live here, there are plenty of people already doing that. And I'd rather let ~them~ toil, heh heh heh...

THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who hasn't beenFluent Spanish speakers (I need to work on my pronunciation). And anyone who is politically aware, that loves and fears for their personal liberties. ESPECIALLY if you have good taste in books/music!

Music:

Classic and Alt-country (Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, and Loretta Lynn to BOTTLE ROCKETS, Son Volt, Neko Case), ROCK-A-BILLY in both its classic AND delightfully perverted forms (Wanda Jackson and Gene Vincent to CRAMPS and Rev. Horton Heat), and of course, the uncategorizable JOHNNY CASH. John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, DEAN MARTIN and FRANK SINATRA...OK now I'm just thumbing thru my record collection to show off...lol. Rolling Stones, Misfits, CLASH, Pixies, DEAD KENNEDYS, and (maybe my favorite of all time) RAMONES!! Of course, if we're just talking about bands that are still alive and together, CALEXICO is my favorite. I worked at a record store for a few years, and that's where I developed an ear for hip-hop, too. If you've never heard IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE, Handsome Boy Modeling School or Kool Keith ("the Black Elvis"), check 'em out. You won't be disappointed ;) Here's a great video from my friends all the way from Hip-Hop-Istan, ARAB LEAGUE. WAKE UP INFIDELS! BLOW UP THE DEATH STAR!!

Movies:

El Mariachi, Good Fellas, Serpico, and Amelie are a few of my fav's, but I LOVE everything John Waters ever made. I think I like Female Trouble, Cry Baby, Pecker and Hairspray the best.

Television:

GET A LIFE...**READ** the news, people!

Books:

A Scanner Darkly, Valis, A Confederacy of Dunces, Picture of Dorian Gray, Cat's Cradle, Kin Flix. As far as poetry goes, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton remain my favorites, but I've been reading a collection of Nicaraguan poetry. I'll post any of the poems from that book I think people would want to read in my blog...the poets are dead anyway. They won't care.

One Flaw In Women By the time the Lord made woman, He was into his sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much time on this one?" And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart -and she will do everything with only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands!? No way! And that's just on the standard model? That's too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish."
"But I won't," the Lord protested. "I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate."
The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak," the Lord corrected, "that's a tear!" "What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride." The angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing."
And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give . HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
