NAMES CONTEST
There's a prize for this - read on.

I have no idea what my name means or where it comes from. My dad has the same name as me, and he was named after his father's friend. I've tried to find out where the name comes from and what it means, but have so far been unsuccessful. The closest I got was GRAYSON - THE SON OF A STEWARD. Whatever the fuck that means. Boring.

Anyway, if you can find out the true origin of my name and prove it, OR come up with a creative origin, I will mail you a hand drawn portrait of you based on your name.

Just leave your etymological findings by clicking on "COMMENTS" at the bottom of this post, then write in the comment box with your email address so that I can contact the winner.

There will be two winners - the first to correctly find the true meaning of my name, and the second who makes up the best fake meaning of my name.

Good place to start is BEHIND THE NAME.

Contest closes April 8th.

If there's only one entry you'll get a drawing.

If there are no entries I'll just draw a picture of myself...alone...with no friends...and no name.

CATHARSIS
I'm finally interested in something again. The answering machine message you heard when this web page opened is from a series I just started working on. They are things I want to say but don't always have the outlet to say them. They are theatrical. Basically, they're poetry or prose I wrote, but I did not just want to post poetry. It looks so frigging tacky and boring. By making an audio clip of the words, I am far more able to get my point across, even if you have to listen to it a few times. All the voices are me, just manipulated to sound different.

Anyway, I'm not crazy, but these messages are. I hope to evolve this series. I hope you find it interesting. Don't be scared.

PS - If you want to replay the message or hear more, they're at the right-most side of the trail of images. Click on the brown and black rectangle and you will see text beneath it that reads "Fume and Pickle" and so on. Those are the answering machine messages. I'll work out better navigation soon.

Nash Goodfellow
Akseli Feola
Fig J. Carjackings
Ginger P. Jumped
Adjuticating S. Fink
Floozie I. Taro

Does anybody else receive 1 spam per 3 legitimate emails? How could this happen to me? I've made my mistakes...

YOU KNOW SHE'S A GENIUS, RIGHT?
the last time i saw you, you were on stage.
your hair was wild, your eyes were bright and you were in a rage.
you were swinging your guitar around
cause they wanted to hear that sound
that you didn't want to play.

but i don't blame you, i don't blame you.
i don't blame you

been around the world, in many situations.
been inside many heads, in different positions.
but you never wanted them that way,
what a cruel price you thought
that you had to pay them back for all that shit on stage
but it never made sense to them anyway
could you imagine when they turned their backs
they were only scratching their heads,
cause you simply deserved the best.

and i don't blame you.
i dont blame you
i don't blame you.

they said you were the best, but then, they were only kids.
then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in.

just because they knew your name,
doesn't mean they know from where you came.
what a sad trick you thought that you had to play.

but i don't blame you, they never owned it.
they never owned it
and you never owed it to them, anyway.

i don't blame you

As much as I don't love David LaChapelle, I kind of respect how far he gets to PUSH IT.
