the world of the subversive, books, music, my kids, environmentalism, freaks, freaky japanese movies, other freaky movies, the list goes on and on and on.
Music
when i was 7, my brother had a friend, richard hasley, who had an uncle that was a dj at a local station. once, richard's uncle bobby gave my brother a stack of 45's that the station did not use. in that stack was 2 that changed me forever - the crazy world of arthur brown, nightmare and david bowie, rubberband. and then my mind split open my mind split open my mind split open. that was 1971. it was not my mom and dad's radio. yay. then richard gave my brother a 45 of david bowie's space oddity for christmas. my obesession began. i was obsessed with david bowie throughout my youth. i still love him, though i haven't heard much of his recent stuff.
as far as arthur brown goes, if you don't know who he is, he was a "scary" artist among hippies back then. you probably heard the song fire. he has never stopped making music and actually has a my space page. he has an amazing voice in a crazed sort of way.
and a list...einsturezende neubauten, barry adamson, robyn hitchcock, current 93, legendary pink dots, outkast, prodigy, genesis p-orridge, swans (or any other michael gira project), death in june, beck, roger miller, massive attack, kraftwerk, billie holliday, nat king cole, nick cave, leonard cohen, coil, dj cheb i sabbah, bryin dall, barry adamson and more more more.
electronic, old and new, is some of my favorite stuff. i like ambient and noise and ambient noise. i like punk, more old than new. i don't like country most of the time, though if you twist it up, it to can be acceptable. of course, there is johnny cash. eternally the man in black.

there's a lot but nothing to say. i've lived many lives. i'm living a life. i promise i will write something more effectively me later.
i was born in kinston, nc. in '91 i moved to california, then moved back to nc 4 years later. i have often regretted it. i love california and i love the friends i have there. but my family is here and my mom's health isn't the best. so my compromise is to live in/near raleigh. no big city, but at least it's not hicksville. i love nature, but the idea of living in it constantly is freaky. i love the city too.
i have 3 daughters, 25, 7, and 6. that's part of my many lives.
i love dark things. i love things that make me feel. i love beautiful things. i love ugly things. music has always been important to me. long time faves inclued current 93, legendary pink dots, robyn hitchcock, david bowie. that is not to say i don't like newer stuff, that's just my "roots."
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........................................................
the background here is the light through my grapevine.
argh. myspace being crappy. tom's out of the hospital. i talked to his sister saturday and i think i remember her saying something about he was detoxing from all the meds he's been on. yeah we'll just say that. i thought about going to the benefit but right now we have about $1200 going out in bills in the next few weeks so donating... not so much. they do have a paypal site to donate. i guess when we're caught up i'll sling a bit of cash his way.
how's things?? i'm beginning to like facebook a bit more. at least i get my comments.
oh yeah, eamonn shoved a crayon in his ear and we had to go to wake med to get it out. kids today. why couldn't he just eat paste?
well call me fucked and unwanted pregnancy... my(....s) didn't let me know that you left a comment. i guess they are all migrating to twitter... or facebook.
sorry i'm late on commenting... we had a blast. we'll have to organize another over the next mutual holiday... or a friday when bills don't take a complete chunk out of our butts.
My Mama wanted to say ello poppet and see how you were doing..she couldn't get over how much your daughter looked liked you..your eldest..I am going to try to get her on myspace..and facebook..do you have a facebook? Because I will add you..but I am getting married soon and want to get her started because I won't be living at home.
hee hee you commented back to yourself... 21st is fine. just have to be home around 4 ish.....
can you suggest somewhere where we don't die of heat exhaustion?? i'd like the kids to play. wait a minute.... my folks live in cary... in an apartment complex... with a pool... i'll see if my step mother is off that day and we can use their pool... maybe.
they live on grande heights dr. whick i think is kind of close to you.
Summer has been okay, nothing spectacular. They go back aug 25. I get paid the 21st, so I would have money that day, if you want to go somewhere. Of course, if another day is better, that is fine too.
you know how some men are addicted to porn... erik is addicted to craigslist... thank GOD (or whatever) he hasn't bought anything else but he's beginning to use that damned thing like a chat site.
