About Me |
|
| I am an exile in Mommyland – Park Slope, Brooklyn – among the literati-on-the-make, the double-wide baby strollers, the pot-smoking teenage delinquents, the sexy little Latinas, the Mexican delivery boys whizzing by on their bikes, the jazz cats who blow the Balkan boogaloo, and the mole-proles in their blue MTA uniforms come topside to cluster over their milk-white sugarsweet coffees at 4 a.m. at Donuts Diner. I follow the philosophies of Mr. Gardner White, who waves a cigar before his grubby white T-shirt, belly arcing in a soft comma over his loose dungarees, and says: "Hey, fella, have you got a quarter for a cup of cawfee?"Check out my scribblingsNew York Sun, Time Out Chicago , Paste , Print , Stomp and Stammer , and more to come ...Profile edited with: CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor | |

I'd like to meet:Marianne Faithfull. Rip Torn. Asia Argento.FAST AND BULBOUS, GOT ME? THE ARCHIVES"I stand for the reform of municipal morals and the plain ten commandments. New worlds for old. Union of all, jew, moslem and gentile. Three acres and a cow for all children of nature. Saloon motor hearses. Compulsory manual labour for all. All parks open to the public day and night. Electric dishscrubbers. Tuberculosis, lunacy, war and mendicancy must now cease. General amnesty, weekly carnival with masked licence, bonuses for all, esperanto the universal language with universal brotherhood. No more patriotism of barspongers and dropsical impostors. Free money, free rent,free love and a free lay church in a free lay state. Mixed races and mixed marriage." -- Leopold Bloom |
