CURLING! Knitting, diddling, whittling, whistling, singing in the shower, meeting freaks on the bus, macrame, decoupage, eating eating eating... I'm an avid curler. I love sad movies. I love driving my 2002. Idiots drive me crazy.Music

Desmond Dekker (1942-2006) Silver-voiced rude boy scored first international reggae hit with "Israelites" in 1968; influenced Clash, Sex Pistols Desmond Dekker, the Kingston singer whose haunting, strident "Israelites" was the first Jamaican reggae hit to cross over to international success, died May 25 of a heart attack in his Surrey, England, home. He was 64, and was to begin a European tour the following week. "He had a nice spirit -- very soulful and a very good songwriter," says Toots Hibbert of the Maytals, who befriended Dekker while recording in Kingston in the '60s. "Of course, he should have gotten a lot more credit, but that's the way it goes sometimes." ..

About me:
.. All set luncheonette, kitchenette to let, I bet to get hamburgerette again. We met in a launderette and kissed beneath the air jet. No sweat, no threat, another one in the back of the net. When I met Jeanette, substitute Ronette, she said will you remember? Said I could never forget her. Au naturalette, her mom's a millionette. So we shared one last cigarette and swapped false addresses, Jeanette, Jeanette. Dangerous! She's like damp dynamite. Oh boy, enjoy, have a nice night. Won't you promise to write me whenever you can, make sure you warn me if you're coming to Birmingham. I get Jeanette, substitute Ronette, she said Will you remember? said I could never forget her, Jeanette No no no I'll never forget you...Who I'd like to meet:
Shane MacGowan
