About Me

Hey. I'm Curtis. This is my Myspace page. I only get on this thing to talk to/keep up w/ other people. You really worked hard to finally get here. Saw the private page, typed in my e-mail address or last name, waited for me to add you. Strenuous to say the least. Well, sorry to disappoint you but 1. I'm a prick. & 2. I don't like sharing my personal shit with the rest of the world wide web. So, if you still wanna know me, comment/message me!

My Interests

Playing bass and singing (muthafuckra!), listening to music, writing songs, reading, going to the movies, sleeping (oh god yes!), going to I-Bar & Backbooth, driving and visiting the ocean periodically.

I'd like to meet:

A girl that knows what she wants and can sense what I want because I'm not the best at expressing it.

Music:

Movies:

If I was strapped to a chair, had a gun to my head and was told that I had to watch one film non-stop for an entire day, I have to say Goodfellas would be the movie I would hope to have to watch. I love it, I've read the book Wiseguy that the movie is based on and I am a huge fan of Scorsese's entire body of work (though I don't think 'The Departed' deserved Best Picture).

Same with 'Almost Famous', I love every movie that Cameron Crowe has ever done (even though compared to his other movies, Jerry Maguire and Elizabethtown are like the two cousins you don't go to visit much and you never quite know why until you see them again).

Other movies/films I dig: Do The Right Thing, 25th Hour, Waking Life, High Fidelity, Zodiac, Fight Club, Tommy Boy, Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Chasing Amy, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Instrument (Fugazi documentary), City of God, Hard Candy, The Fog of War, Barry Lyndon, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Habla Con Ella, a few others.

Television:

I don't really watch television. The only reason I own a television is to watch movies/concerts on. But if I have to turn on the TV for other purposes, I dig South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Entourage, The Venture Bros. & PBS documentaries.

Books:

Fight Club, Survivor, Solipsist, Shakey, Crime & Punishment, American Psycho, Less Than Zero, A Dull Roar, So You Wanna Be a Rock Star? etc.

Philip K. Dick is the only author I keep my eyes on for the most part. Out of his works I've read/dig:

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Book that inspired the film Blade Runner)

A Scanner Darkly (Book that inspired the film of same name)

The Minority Report (Yeah, you know, that movie....)

Currently reading: Dream Boogie-a biography on Sam Cooke.

Heroes:

My mother (who I don't have a picture of on this computer right now) for raising me pretty much on her own and being there for me when no one was and going on with life the way it is right now......

Henry Rollins

..

Ever since I read Solipsist, I've stuck with this guy and followed his work wherever it went, whenever I could. His poetry, journals, music, spoken word shows, I love it all. I saw him the weekend after my mother had her second stroke and his words alone helped me out a lot, if I was more weak minded and had actually thought about suicide during that time, seeing him and meeting him probably would have saved my life.

Fugazi


I admire this band as a unit because they have showed that you CAN be successful as a musician while owning your own label and not playing the bullshit games the most major labels make artists play in order to survive. Oh yeah, they make amazing music, too. I wish I could have been born a few years earlier so I could have seen the band live for they are on 'indefinite hiatus' right now.

Eddie Vedder


I love Pearl Jam as a whole but I have to say that Eddie helped me in the way he stated that Pete Townsend helped me. To quote Eddie (slightly), I should be sending him cards on Father's Day.
