About Me


Myspace Editor
Pimp MySpace
I'm on the retail track. I guess I could sell ovens or lumber or sofabeds but I guess it's more personally rewarding selling books,movies,coffee & music. Although an art supply store would be cool too.My work life (no joke) -some people shop in bookstores don't know how to read-I also sell merch (sometimes roadie) for the best band in Detroit(universe) THE AMINO ACIDS! It 's a fun job that has taken me to places I 'd never see on my own (like Iowa!- three times- & Dayton! -twice-). Come visit me sometimes (I'm usually in the back of the room). Bring me a Newcastle or a shot of something brown (pref. whiskey-not cheap stuff though). Maybe we can make a deal. Don't tell them though. They are rather grouchy aliens.I am a bit of a snob or maybe just really picky about certain things. I don't like stupid tv shows. This includes reality junk or god help me for saying this aloud-Family Guy. I do like other Adult Swim shows like AquaTeen & SeaLab & Space Ghost. Go figure. The 2 shows I try to make sure of seeing is the Daily Show or alternative hour on VH1 classic.I love music but I only listen to "highbrow" music as well(see below). Speed metal,current "alternative radio" music (3 Doors Down, 311 or Fingereleven-they're all the same band right?),& current country(it's just rock with a steel guitar) just don't cut it for me. Otherwise, I might not listen to it but I can appreciate it. I'm not so stuckup however to listen to only "underground" bands that only release 7 inches. I love the Beatles. I just might not like the same Beatle songs your mom likes.I don't like cheap beer or whiskey (as stated above) or store brand diet cola soda.however, there are sometimes when desperate times call for desperate measures. After a long road trip a free,cold Miller High Life might be an exception. Thanks Bo for that in Youngstown!I like the movies that don't waste my time. 2 hours of stupidity is 2 hours I'll never get back.god. i didn't i could waste so much about myspace space about me because i'm so modest. but then people who know me would probably disagree. ..

My Interests

hanging out -ok I'm a groupie with Rev.Angry Larry of the Amino Acids (the rest of the guys are pretty cool too)-im not their groupie though, Henry (I miss my big fur ball) , Church, & Gatsby (our 3 cats), Saffy (our dog), Dia de Los Muertos, certain live music, cooking an elaborate meal & not having to clean up afterwards, apparently i like throwing fists because all my guy friends post things like please stop hitting me. not that they didn't deserve it-maybe it's the whiskey, gardening, Halloween, thunderstorms at night, hot sticky summer days ( i totally live in the wrong state), whiskey(though not all the time despite what my profile might imply), road trips, train whistles, flea marketing & thrifting therefore packratting, art stuff (photography, painting, drawing, collages,beads), nostalgia, obviously music (see below),.. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- CDBABY LINK for THE AMINO ACIDS: Destroy The Warming Sun --

I'd like to meet:


i might be a snob about a lot of things but i think i'm pretty openminded about people. unless of course you're racist,sexist or a bush supporter.anyone especially if you like sharing ideas, art incl. music, words, philosphies, beliefs, thoughts, opinions, rants. I love discovering new ideas from people.

Music:

David Chapelle was right. This white girl loves guitar music. The Amino Acids ( I have to say that I work for them), Beatles (my true love), David Bowie, Brian Jonestown Massacre (my friends are tired of me talking about them but I'm just trying to show them the light) , Buddy Holly,early The Cars,Christpunchers, the Cult, Dead Can Dance, Devo,Gene Vincent, Gorillaz, The Jollys,Joy Division,Kate Bush, KoffinKats,Interpol, Luna, Man ,New Order, Nine Inch Nails, Nuggets Collection, Gary Numan,Pink Floyd (with Syd & with Roger),Roy Orbison, Saucer,Patti Smith, Robyn Hitchcock, early Roxy Music, 13th Floor Elevators, The White Stripes,The Who, Velvet Underground, Kristen Hersch,60s Mod/Garage Bands, some 80s new wave (Echo, Bauhaus, Love & Rockets,Smiths,Berlin) twangy OLD (or old sounding) country like Hank Williams SR, Townes Van Zandt, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, delta, scratchy-record blues (Robert Johnson, Leadbelly), Psychedelia, world music ( Shelia Chandra, Marta Sebestyen, Nusrat, gypsy music), classical (especially viola & cello music & harpsichord music). If you want any enlightment on the above write me. I could go on & on about music.Also, it may be snobby to say I have some of the above on vinyl but that's only because I'm old enough to have bought it when it first came out on vinyl. And I rarely throw anything away... width="425" height="350"
