About Me

Aries + Fire Dragon - This is THE ride, better make it goodHistory: Grew up in Boulder, CO moved to LA in 2000. I used to be a high-end web designer for movies, but decided to segway into writing I used to work for a magazine and my first novella came out a bit ago..I DJ downtempo and martini sets of 60's Italian movie soundtracks. Go to www.blacktoad.com to see some of my work. I have a psychic Beta fish named Warsaw and the only superhero that matters is Green Lantern.

My Interests

Culture, nostalgia, psychology, writing, music, video games, film, tech, sexuality, history, humanism, synchronicity, mystery, desire, flight, racing, archetypes, the many faces of love.Oh...and I have a total weakness for go go dancers.

I'd like to meet:

Although I'm always interested in meeting amazing characters or creative people, my life is an endless stream of faces. If you hit me up you better be worth the conversation.Hit me up and I'll suck out your essence-goo and keep it in my soul jar to rip off for future fictional characters.Oh yeah...Girls - be ready to swing dance, don't sweat it, I'm a good lead.

Music:

Have you got a few hours? You name it - Currently I'm into depression era music: Blind Willie Johnson, Andrew Sisters, etc. I could list forever or you could see my current mp3 playlist on my livejournal entry for Sunday, March 28th, 2004 I recently got back into DJing so the entire music universe is my dojo. Finding the link between Eddie Cantor and New Order is my new bag. but always and always ElvisisKing.

Movies:

Mod Fuck Explosion, Nowhere, Doom Generation, Baise Moi, Roger Doger, Swingers, Waterland, Permanent Midnight, Blade Runner, SLC Punk. Gattaca

Television:

West Wing, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Sopranos, IFC and an almost strange, unforgettable love for My So-Called life.

Books:

Kafka, Fitzgerald, David Foster Wallace, Plath, Sexton, Bourroughs, Steinbeck, Delillo, etc. - Death to JK Rowling

Heroes:

Jesus.......Ha! just kidding. My heroes in life are the people that chase a dream without it being at the expense of others. There are two ways to go about it and the rare cats that can bring out the best in themselves as well as everyone around them are the actual heroes. You don't have to be a dick to win, and you don't have to sacrifice yourself to help others win - A true hero is someone that stands so tall that everyone around them stands upright from the example.
