About Me:
i've got a golden ticket in my hand.
i play a mean game of croquet.
i bob and weave, bob and weave.
i'm handy with tools... most esp. milwaukee tools such as
the world famous sawzall.
i think having the DT shakes is a funny thing to THINK
about... having them or watching them a whole nuther entire
story.
i love bricolage. i love to make things of all shapely
sizes & media and esp. illuminated things... otherwise
known as lamps. esp. if the objects can be created from
scrappy scrappy things i've found. i have recently had a
tetanus shot. i love to write a lot alot.
i love to sing along to duke ellington & orchestra's
lively little number called 'the mooche. i love all things
mob & mafioso related. inexplicably
drawn...
i love most industrial things with the exception of most
industrial music... but i love love ethyl meatplow and
dream that one day i will hear the song 'ripened peach'
live as performed by the amazing miss carla bozulich (and
company).
i love hands... but those of clocks
i love sand... but that of hourglasses
i love chess & poached eggs both together and separately
i love 3-minute timers... because they go very well w/ the
above two items.
new york city is literally the city of my reoccurring
dreams which co-star a floating blue orb in the sky that
spins and wirrrrrrs mechanistically. ? !!!!!!!!
i have a collection of my own xrays... it is a valuable
collection.
i love my bicycle and my royal typewriter so much it's a
little frightening for others but not for me.

Who I Want to Meet:
fast talking dames and misters. the real ambassador.
superheros...
agent ruby,
charles shaw. a modern day 'slim'...
lauren bacall...but i already have.
people who wear large collars and/or lapels.
anyone who has seen my missing 'soft pink truth' button
which was gifted to me by a friendly stranger on me last
birthday.
people who gesticulate wildly and/or can swear a blue
streak in a foreign language. i want to meet someone
who
can remember and also re-teach me the dance steps to 'the
bus stop', my favorite dance steps from childhood.

testimonial? it's true: it will solve all your
troubles. yesterday i bought mary a mocha
blended and she broke right into a shuffle
and my day was made. mary is a charm, or
my charm anyhow, not so much that she
brings me good luck as she makes up for all
the rampant bad luck. for all the goodness
mary brings into the world she deserves it
tenfold back. hear me lord! shower mary
with the riches of good fortune: lottery
winnings, true love, a bicycle helmet and a
lifetime supply of hershey's with almonds.
because she's nearly always gung-ho.
To borrow an expression from new-agers,
I love her energy. I look forward to
her return to SF, so we can complete
our projects: burger ballot, burger
map, and 100 fun things to do this
summer (maybe Fall, now). Also, she's
very good with complaint letters.
greatest greatest. i wage a daily
campaign to get mary to move down here
to LA. mary does not know about this
campaign. it is a secret campaign
involving a lot of prayer and a secret
mary shrine. here's an important tip:
if you are ever sad and blue, get mary
to do a little dance for you. you will
forget all of your troubles,
guaranteed. she should put a patent on
this dance.
Okay, I started the rumor amongst myself and
my imaginary friends, but that doesn't make it
any less real. Besides we don't want to break
the heart of my I.F., Captain Superfriend (kind
of a combination of a conglomeration of all the
Superfriend cartoon characters, and Daryl
Dragon - The "Captain" of Captain and Tenille).
I need Mary to come down and slide-tackle all
the people I hate - not just on the soccer field.
All that said, Mary is really great blah, blah,
blah....Am I crying? Of course not! I'm just
slicing some onions.
