Where Are You?: in a rather dull suburb to a rather dull town in an unbelievably dull country (but, as they say, all good things come out of boredom)
What Are You?: human
What do you make?: my neighbours insane (not everyone appreciate the finer things in life, i e music, wine and song).
What do you love?: beauty (in all itĒs shapes and forms)
What do you hate?: the rain that never stops (IĒm starting to feel like Martin MillarĒs Alby Starvation who felt it must be something personal about the wind always blowing on him)
What do you listen to?: Charlie Parker, always & forever. Anything that can make my heart beat a little faster and make me feel like itĒs all worthwile.
What do you watch?: commersials, the scene in National Animal Lampoon-whatever-that-movie-is-called where Belushi slams the guitar into the wall. Genious.
What do you drink?: beer, mostly.
What do you smoke?: other peoples cigarettes
What do you take?: the train down to the south, where the weather is, after all, slightly better.
What do you believe in?: Me, myself & I. Music. Love (IĒm sure itĒs out there somewhere). Summer (surely itĒll come this year too, right?)
