   About Adult Videos
I refuse to let this be a Press Packet. I drive a Scion. I'm also passive. These things lead to frustration. I follow the same school as Jarvis Cocker. I live more in my head than in the real world. I don't know what's troubling Gus, I don't like to personify nature. I also feel that my awkwardness is caused by the fact that I can't dance the funky chicken.

I am currently working on my first album. It will be out in February, weather permitting. I'm also planning on working on a series of radio dramas influenced by the golden age of broadcasting and my love of noirish melodrama. Hopefully these will find themselves turned into plays or collected, scored, and recorded and released only on vinyl. I'm also planning a giant piece of conceptual art which will be titled "Every good memory since you've left" which will be nothing more than lining the walls of my apartment with empty cigarette packs and fast food wrappers. I still haven't had the gas turned on. Perhaps it will make excellent insulation. I learned everything I know about women from Sam Malone. I mastered delicate social situations after memorizing Three's Company. I prefer books without pictures... and if there must be pictures, I strongly prefer crude sketches done by the author himself.

I get bored a lot.

My aim is Donny Dont Die

Ahhh... I get it! But if that's the case, why a lamp? I mean, several items are permanant home fixtures. Like refrigerators...they're cold, get slammed, in the dark except for those minutes when being stood over and raped for the nourishment they provide...think about it. Maybe you could have a whole series...

Actually, Ricky and I are trying to scheme up a reunion. I have to talk to him to confirm everything, but on Sunday, he's driving from Champaign, and I'm either going to meet him in Bloomington, or he's going to pick up Adam in Bloomington on the way and we're going to do lunch. You wanna partake???
One. Two. Cha Cha Cha





Oct 11 2007 6:22 PM

hmmm...well then, does it have anything to do with the way lamps promise us light, but in actuality only produce us with something artificial?
One. Two. Cha Cha Cha





Oct 11 2007 5:56 PM

Your lamp loving wouldn't have anything to do with how easily they're turned on, would it?
