About me:
i hear things.
i (usually) know what i want, even if i can't have it right then. (except food because it is of no interest to me beyond sustaining my mind shell)
you'll get it someday.
psychic technology could be in our hands! i prefer the song to the street. my favorite color is green. i also like navy blue.
i need a vacation. bad. inquire with suggestions at your own leisure.
i also need a mind vacation. suggestions and/or jungle and/or desert gifts sound cool.
even when i'm not alone, i'm pretty much alone.
i want to be air, and compression, and expansion, and i want to be electricity. i don't know why but i know why it should. the fabric of space and time has enveloped me in its filthy clutches for thirty years now. help me find the wormholes? which life? this: freeze motherfucker! FBI! i wish i was a drummer. i am (mostly) only interested in space and/or time travel. i invented the salad. also, holy crap, i'm the fantastic, legendary genius. You have unleashed the fury. i also record music for a living and have a studio called battle tapes recording and make those sounds go "pretty!" and "angry!". i am funnier than most people you know and probably do other things better as well. sick sometimes. allergies. a man's body, i can almost beard it now. lalalalosloslosLOS.
i want to be buried in outer space.
i listen to the same records over and over and over and the same songs over and over and over and over because i like to do that.
sometimes i take pictures for fun. you can see them here
*bands, i have disabled friend requests from bands. it was a big time turnoff for me. if you know me or i know you and you know, you know, gimme a letter in the mail and self addressed stamped envelope and i'll send it back to you.
Who I'd like to meet: psychonauts. ghosts. people smarter than me. the human originator. the keeper of blood. oh, and retards! i love retards! is heroin a person? if so; him (or her).
serial killers who would not want to kill me or make me feel too weird.
people that will absolutely blow my mind. (though, be warned, it's not an easy one...)
the bob dylan who said: "I don't need to be happy. Happiness is kind of a cheap word."
someone who can explain shit to me when we're on the soil of some distant planet and i can't figure out where to get a slice of pizza or a good hot dog.
air conditioned clothes for the tennessee summer heat.
those shirts and underwears of mine that have disappeared. a man with six shirts can't afford to lose even one.
people who like shitty horror from time to time. or people who like to watch movies (who the hell does that??).
i would like to meet the best songs ever. i will massage them and treat them nice.
people who want to give me money to make their records sound good. people who want to give me their money to make their songs better than they were previously. people who want to give me their money for my blood.
i cut my shin. i cut my thumb. i cut my brain. i puked a whole lot. i cough black. my mind is the abyss.
a little understanding. a lot of peyote.
a martian girl who isn't frozen.
the perfect opposite to me. even if that just means a sweet arch-nemesis
a witchdoctor/shaman/medicine man who can help me figure it out.
whores what makes hell's fire light the sky during the day! o! helios, you enchantress!
chicken fried bacon. or grilled cheeses surrounding a hamburger. or death.
i DO NOT want to meet:
+trade secret violators!
+chainsaws currently throttling.
+people/animals in clown makeup.
+politicians.
+bummers.
+unpinned (live) hand grenades.
+lames.
+freeze-outs or shake-downs.
+sideways slugs
+tippy-toeing children with blades
+vegetable smugglers
+time wasters
+cokeheads or pepsiheads
+faaaaarrrt
i have to give you props for being the only person to wish me a happy birthday on myspace. and for giving me reason to sign on to this thing. uh...thanks! :)
dude, the new ff record is halfway written. we've been reading shiite-loads of Faulkner and listening to Hands Down Eugene records backwards on repeat.
and we wanna record an accompanying self-help tape series along with it. what do ya think?
