With everything going wireless, I would like to live long enough to see the Great Telephone Pole Dismantling. Just to see where the technology takes us would be neat. Most technological advances are brought upon by the rising population, but there’s a limit. The population of the world has doubled in my lifetime.
My current retirement plan is to end up with a private room in a reputable nursing home. I think it would be cool if the veins in my hands would stick out prominently. I’ve determined that if I live to be eighty, I’ll spend the rest of my life drunk. I’ve never had Scotch before, but that sounds good.
From Colorado, I am the youngest of six. I have also lived in California, Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, and Virginia—which is home now. There was always interesting music around the house, and I was encouraged to spend time reading.
As a kid, I would listen to music and read along with the lyrics, study them. I actually enjoyed diagraming sentences and I always preferred essay questions. At VCU in Richmond, I majored in English.
In the nineties, I became involved in zine culture. I cut my teeth as a writer with my publication, 'The Crisp Fabric.' I have formed meaningful friendships with writers and artists I have never met.
My favorite novelists are Kurt Vonnegut, Hermann Hesse, Italo Calvino, and Franz Kafka.
The nonfiction writers I like are Buckminster Fuller, Hunter S. Thompson, and Frank Zappa.
Sylvia Plath and Emily Dickinson are my favorite poets.
