I think tom should have a box for the things you dont like or are anti-influenced by. people can be equally as passionate about things they dislike. not thats theres many things i dislike, ive just become very aware of this lately. and no matter how hard you try, even things you avoid or hate will influence you in the end. like the pink elephant in my car.
I was not designed to have feet and im typing with my flippers. i love my dog. The rest of you can bite me.
I live by the beach. i visit the city.
i like words. doesnt mean i know many. but words are words and make me feel not so alone in this dictioanry in which i habit.
i love bad movies with good actors. i hate bindieyes, in nice grass. shoes arent my thing. never where, never have been.
i want to travel again soon. blessed am i... i am going to south america in september 2007, come along for the ride, its sure to be fun.
my poetry / music and teaching is centred around the endless sleepless polotics of my heart. it branches out to the polotics / molotics of daisies. I know its obvious, but im going to say it anyway- I dont see the point of music with no soul. with no emotion. with all that technique and class and style and shaking of ass, and -YES- theory, if theres no heart to back it up. sing and play anything you want to me, but my ears won't hear what you ain't really saying. my heart is waiting for the tears that well in your sincerity. open your mind and sing. dont be afraid of your heart.
thanks for your orange glow. dont feel blue,
you're not alone. there's a small man with a chimpanzee sitting in your ear.
Shelly! That's one of the nicest feel good messages I've ever received! Far out, thanks for hooking a brother up! Yeah I really liked Dan's band too! awesome vibe and sick drummer! ha! I have a CD with our band Urukum, it's a 5 track sampler, hot off the Press! Finished it a few days ago! Where are you living? I gave some to Morgan at The Shire but if they are gone I can post! How is everything? Loving life? Thanks for getting in contact, big love
