May the blue bird of happiness crap down your chimney

About Me

i play music. i eat mushrooms. though generally not at the same time. although... apparently when i was a wee little boy i used to reach out of the shopping trolley and eat raw mushrooms off the shelf. there's no way i could do that now, and not just because i don't ride in trolleys anymore (at least, not inside supermarkets), but rather because raw mushrooms simply do not taste pleasant. my favourite person in the world is my brother, and i don't mind saying this for he possesseth no myspace. anyone who gets tired playing a flute should not weep; they should play an oboe, then weep. i am obsessive about things. i am obsessive about things. i am obsessive about things. if you throw me a frisbee, i will throw it back and smile. there is a very fine line between being spectacular and being a spectacle. but you have to go for it, right? i like to ask big questions. sometimes only a child's innocence can provide an unbiased, 'from a distance' perspective. why do people kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong? i am deeply disturbed by the human capacity for moving backwards as one.maybe i can't take it, sure, but i don't dish it out either. unless of course you genuinely deserve it.
