My Interests

Painting, coffee, casually baseball. I'd like to read more books, but I'm on line again. Comedians, comics, and people.

I'd like to meet:

extraterrestrials. Art patrons that want to support my extravagant life style and let me paint and draw as much as I want with no strings attached of course.

Music:

Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Bob Dylan, Chicago blues, Live freaky jazz, The Blue Four, Dresden Dolls, Beat Circus, the occassional subway performer.

Movies:

Caddyshack Hooper, Fightcub , I'm not talking about it! 12 Monkeys, good times! Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, Blues Brothers, Blade Runner, Empire Strikes Back, Pulp Fiction and every one that I forgot but will wish I had remembered when I wrote this down!

Television:

I don't have a TV now due to commercials, what a waste of time!

Books:

Lolita

It's July 7th!

That's all I got. I like writing 7/7/05 or whatever year it is. Breakfast of champions, steroids and bananas. It's good to replace your electrolites and potassium with bananas! Now I'm hungry!

A cat named Buzzard

He's your typical NYC "mutt"cat ( white bib underside, grey stripes on top and his tail, paws look like he waded into a tray of white paint ) and he won't get off my lap! Makes it hard to type, I'm to...
