Capricorn

Re-learning eating, living, laughing...it's quite a trip. I am an addict, newly in recovery.

I hate bosses. Up with the workers, down with the bosses.

I want to ride around South America on a motorcycle with my best friend Jomeka. I want to live to be a ripe old age, make art and be happy.

People that aren't full of shit. Feminists, chicanas, pochas, homicidal lesbian terrorists, etc.

People that are respectful of their fellow human beings.

Local folks that are in recovery.

Folks that have been influenced by the words of Kurt Vonnegut.

People that believe that music makes life better.

Cancer survivors, various tumor survivors, people that beat the mother fucking odds.
