Have you listened to MIA?
Thanks for the nice comment! The problem is all of the pictures I have are at lease 2 years old! I want one that actually looks like I do now.... but maybe I'll post a different one soon until I get one :c)
thanks!! i'm glad my pain is useful for someone else besides me! :)... good luck with finals!!
Toru, delicious name by the way, thanks for the friend request and comment, i dare venture out of ql with my jams, but who knows. just last friday i said i would have one cocktail and i ended up having infinity, so anythings possible i suppose. i'll keep ya posted, and between you and i Habit is my fav lyric wise, glad you dig it ;)
after talking with sixy and seeing her photos, i completely understand. i mean, i know she's smart, and i love talking with her and learning her perspective on things, but when i look at her, part of my brain just shuts down and the "wow, she's so beautiful" part takes over. so i'll make you a deal: you post a picture and i'll promise to be as tough on you as ever. fair enough?
we'd love to see that profile pic fullsized in your works...who knew such a bright girl had all the looks in the world to match?
tori, thank you so much for listening to my music. while i have performed extensively in the past (200 shows between '99-'06), i'm strictly "studio" for now, working on the new album. when all is said and done, each song will probably utilize between 10 and 20 individual tracks. it's not impossible for me to perform live, but it'll take a completely different approach, kind of like breaking your wrist and teaching yourself to write with your opposite hand. thank you again for your support!
Austin's a great city. I don't know if it's the new Seattle because I've never been to Seattle. But it's a young, vibrant town with lots of culture, not to mention restaurants and book stores galore (and yes, an abundance of coffee shops). It's gotten more conservative over the past decade -- in the worst ways -- but it's still the liberal oasis in Texas. Come and visit. =)
I never read that Morrison was a wife beater, though it wouldn't completely shock me as he was, more often than not, on some sort of substance. Classic rock, eh? Have you heard about the "Hendrix Tape"?
“It seems every cause wants you to raise money for it. I just can't seem to accept this anymore. Whatever happened to direct services, or volunteering to make a difference?” AMEN! As much as I agree and have had similar, if not the exact same thoughts, I, unfortunately, cannot say that I’m an activist more than a donor; I’d like to be, but donating is much easier and less time consuming (and I haven’t been driven to be active – long story, many reasons). However, a counterpoint would be th...
i never suggested that your forum thread would silence mens' opinions on hillary. rather, men in general are wary of making gender-biased statements around women.
Music
riot grrls! alternative , jazz , trip-hop , some blues , some oldies. Its sad that my music tastes are not very well developed. I gotta move beyond Pandora. When I was a teenager I was way into finding new bands and being hip , but now that I work for my rent I need a music guru
Film
I pretty much love the quirky films that are minimally mainstream. Dogma , I heart Hukabees , conversations with women , thank you for smoking , dancing in the dark , pretty much anything with Aaron Eckhart or John Cusack. THis is an art site- I should be listing directors and writers. Someday I'll get there. I promise.
Books
god-damn I just can't do this. Its like breaking down the dna of each cell in my body and asking you not to think about my heritage , or what I look like. Lets just say , I am breaking my back reading too goddamn much. For fun , though fantastical realism.
Artists
kahlo , moderson-becker , Magritte; kara walker; francis bacon
Television
This is really sad , my tv doesn't work! I don't watch much. If it worked and I didn't have a moral issue with paying for cable , I'd watch the daily show , pbs , southpark boston legal , law and order , scrubs , and the office. Oh yeah and David Letterman. But as you can see , I'm not way into TV. Its not bad or anything , I just don't have the time.
