| Introduction | Never trust an amateur, they tells ya. I'm allergic to heat, cats, and angel dust. i worked in the world's largest underground copper mine. Was a blaster when i quit. When i quit baseball i went in the tank. Didn't come out for two years. Coaching grrrls little league is hell on wheels--like a course in herdin' feral angels! Like they was all born without mothers...i figger grrrls can't digest becoming like their mothers for quite a few years longer than boys do dads. I was drinking Myer's instead of food or water when this woman suggested we go to the Caribbean. The grrrl ran away with the airhose--at 200 feet--and my head nearly popped. spent 14 hours at sea on a overturned cat. But here i am now. and i think i got something. if i could just remember what. being an artist means never ever givin' 'em what they want. check it out! in black and white, treats meet sweets in pretty small doses. i mean to please a client you learn to decorate their life. to be an artist you learn how to wreck it. |
| Interests | Jimmy's bio from BIO BIO...I'm writing this strapped to a Doric column in Talca, Chile. The bus left me here for safety. Theirs. I'm still hooked up but writing fast...it's the dust falling off the pigeon perches--history was writ up there and it's clogging my laptop. I'm hooked to the Condi Rice Power Line like a desperate peon looking for light...it's nuclear, wouldn't ya know. I used to work in the world's deepest underground copper mine, so i flew down here to see what i could do. I was an English teacher in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas (i imagine that was Aquinas-- check sp.) i learned as much from the children as they learned from me. That's what you're supposed to say after 3rd world stints. but i'm just glad i didn't catch the Sprue. i'm still eatin' bread. So OK. Before that i was into deprivation derivatives. No one believed me in the 70's when i told them how much Goldman, et al, could make on that scam. So i enlisted in the Army, not really, but that's what spies are supposed to say. Never trust an amateur, they tells ya. I mastered jungle fever and living under ferns. Eatin' raw froggies and roots, because i was allergic to desert dust. probably from working below it in San Manuel. i was a blaster when i quit. When i quit baseball i simply went into the tank. Didn't come out for two years. Coaching girls' little league is hell on wheels--like a course in herdin' feral angels! Like they was all born without parents...was drinking Myer's instead of food or water when this woman suggested we go to the Caribbean. But i slimmed down from all the shark hunting we did. Feel bad about that, but it was good for my weight. The grrrl ran away with my airhose one day--at 200 feet--and my head nearly popped. but here i am now. |
