About me: Beside the garden walls,
We walk in haunts of ancient peace.
At night we rest and go to sleep
In haunts of ancient peace.
The love and light we seek,
The words we do not need to speak,
Here in this wondrous way we keep
These haunts of ancient peace.
-Van Morrison
Who I'd like to meet: A few months ago, I deleted all of my myspace friends and all of my content. I decided to open my site back up on a limited basis, primarily in order to look up musicians. I have added a few friends back, but for the most part I will not be accepting friend requests. If you are on Facebook, I will gladly accept your friend request there. You can find me at http://www.facebook.com/hurricaneseason.
kind of weird... but also kind of great. it's a little overwhelming to recognize that there are so many options for me now. and more than anything, i guess it feels like i'm hanging between different lives entirely. not necessarily a bad thing, just odd.
John! I have been in town for about 3 weeks for my car being repaired. I have officially moved to Florida to go back to school, and all that delays me now is that blasted car. Anyway, if you go to the coffeeshop sometime soon let me know. I am right behind it. What have YOU been doing?
it's actually on the list! i'm also really curious to see more of julian schnabel's directorial work (i've only seen basquiat), and in a creepy way i want to see all of matthew barney's films... but i'm a weirdo.
relaxing in texas with family, enduring the heat, and wasting time on tumblr. ha. i was wondering... i have so much free time lately that i'm attempting to watch a lot of films i never got around to seeing. any recommendations?
