If fashion is your trade, then when you're naked, you must be unemployed, yeah.

About Me



I live in the Alamo City, living feverishly at the intersection of Inebriation and Mundane Streets.

Twenty-eight years old...libertarian, deist, Iraq war vet turned student; a senior at UT San Antonio studying Economics and Political Science with a minor in Russian Language and Culture.

I enjoy collecting vehicles that notoriously don't work (vespas and british roadsters), indie music, injesting exotic alcohol beverages, and, of course, plenty of schadenfreude.

My Interests

Just Scoots, Booze, and Music.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is not satisfied with the contemporary and mundane; anyone who can't accept the drone of pedestrian modern life...without fanciful delusions of idealistic bullshit.I think that in itself is idealistic...but go figure.

Music:

My Last.Fm Weekly Artists Chart:

From that table it should be obvious...

I once had a dream so I packed up and split for the city

Raphaela or Donatella, my silent dream.
