no cable here. old stuff..... newton's apple, land of the lost, connections, the prisoner, you know, whatever's on dvd.

i was calmly ushered through the proper channels as a youth, only to spill into a messy puddle of fluids, light waves, and brown notes. here's where i spread myself too thinly and evaporate.

all i do lately is read, and that causes the part of me that was already nerdy to swell like a seagull engorged on alka-seltzer. therefore i need more of the same, but coupled with brain-cell reducing recreation. i want to talk to anyone who's involved in post-darwinian theoretical biology, systems theorists, and social theorists. i'm not interested in anything but THEORY! and psychedelic rock. and esoteric country-rock. and free jazz. and good pens. and toothy paper. and ribeyes. and tips on french sauces. ok.
