About Me

"Run away and join the circus. Get a tattoo, hop a train. Plant a garden and save the seeds. Get married, have kids, wear a hat. Get good with a bullwhip. Don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal. Everyone must put beans on the table. Be devoted to the unification of the diverse aspects of yourself. Remember, most of what is essential is invisible to the eye. The quality of time you spend with someone far outweighs the quantity. And, there's a lot you can do with a wah-wah pedal and a bullet mike." Tom Waits, 2000.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I met one of my heroes and found I didn't know what to say to him. It was overwhelming. It was breathtaking. It was really loud. Since then, I have decided that meeting heroes isn't all its cracked up to be. Sure you have the memory of a brief contact with them, but it is a pretty one-sided moment.

Music:

Tom Waits (especially Rain Dogs and Small Change), Lyle Lovett, The Ramones, etc.

Hmm... this could take a while. I'll do it later.

Books:

It seems far more efficient to list authors as opposed to individual titles of books, so here goes...

Mercedes Lackey, Robert Aspirin, Tom Robbins, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, William Blake and JK Rowling (don't laugh).

Well, I guess that is a quick start for the traditional book format. Now we jump into the comic books!

Strangers in Paradise, Liberty Meadows, Castle Waiting, Bone, anything by Charles Vess, anything by J. Scott Campbell (Give us more funny books, man!), and Little Gloomy.

My Blog

"...don't you know there ain't no devil, there's just god when he's drunk..."

I wanted to write my first blog about the amazing experience of seeing Tom Waits perform live, but there are no words.  When it comes to writing, I can usually go on for days, but now... All I ...
