About Me

Part of me still thinks that I am too cool for myspace; that would be because I am. I also think that those little outfits with matching comfy pants and jackets are about as fashionable as acid-washed jeans and scrunchies....sorry trendy kids, but pants and jackets just shouldn't be made out of the same fabric. And you bitches with highlighter hair just need to go away. That shit was tacky even in early 90's. Nothing screams dirty gutter skank like striped hair and a sloppy lower back tattoo.

My Interests

Music, science, poetry, politics (mostly bitching about untill I hold a high enough position to do something about it), pushing boundaries, scuba diving, being taken out to fancy dinners, songwriting, camping, wine (liquor is nice too), sleeping in the sun, crossing "the line", life....just being a part of it all

I'd like to meet:

A 20ft white shark

Music:

Jazz, Blues, Bossa Nova, Funk, Reggae, Americana, Classic Rock, Sorca, Samba, West African, Musical Theatre, Bluegrass, Emo, Indie, Hip-hop, a lil punk here and there and I think that pretty much covers it

Television:
