Obaro

I live in the middle of Manhattan, why would I need a compass?!

About Me

I drum in Venus Bogardus.

Barbara, HOLD all my calls please ...I'm eating (seedless) GRAPES.

Chronicles from a CRAP hole.

The GIRLS in their SUMMER dresses.

You were looking at YOURSELF in the mirror and you wish you had some POT?

My Interests

Music, Movies and high calorie gourmet nourishment.

I'd like to meet:

People with nice eyes, good hearts, sandwiches and cars.

Music:

Anything you hear in the player. It changes weekly.

I do think 'Spiralling' by Antony and the Johnsons, 'Some things last a long time' by Daniel Johnston and Dudley by the yeah yeah yeahs are three of the most beautiful songs ever written. If they're too contemporary for you then why don't you try sucking a duck?

'Somebody got murdered' by the Clash makes me want to do a backflip outside my window and land in my imaginary swimming pool.

Movies:

La Haine (What a PERFECT film!), Pan's Labyrinth, Sweet and Lowdown, Dogville, Volver, Husbands and Wives, Lost in Translation and most films written and directed by woody allen, now get your hand of my thigh!

Television:

NYPD blue, Extras, Frasier, Seinfeld, Everybody hates Chris.

Books:

Woody Allen complete Prose, The End of stress as we know it, Dogs can't tell jokes, FHM October 2006.

Heroes:

Woody Allen, Dr. Alice Roberts, Amanda Palmer, Blake the drummer, Brian Viglione.

A SENSE of ENTITLEMENT

Try to understand, I'm talking about a fucking GENIUS. I mean this is the guy that informed me that the word 'tardis' spelt (and/or pronounced) backwords is spelt (and/or pronounced) 'Sidrat'. He's th...

The kind of PRETTY girl that HATES being pretty.

Its a good idea to wash your hands a few times a day (more than you think). With the amount of germs on your iPod, mobile phone, door handles, keyboard, remote controls and girlfriend, its worth givin...

Pain is Just a .... STATE of MIND

You were BORN luckyI find the balance between luck you can control and pure luck to be similar to the balance between nature and nurture. So when you're blessed with four limbs, a bank account and a s...

The END of TIME

I met some VERY intelligent people recently. Some of them had post modern ideas (and skills!) and others had husbands they hadn't seen since before women stopped being people and became sex objects, a...

You were looking at YOURSELF in the MIRROR and you want some POT?

Of COURSE you think I'm overreacting! White people ALWAYS think black people are overreacting. When going for a drive to the countryside, I ALWAYS specify; "lets not go to some miserable secluded ...

My Lady Story (Valentine's day Blog).

The last Valentines day I truly enjoyed was the one I spent watching 'Lost in Translation' after a delicious meal with a girl I can honestly say was 'my best work'. We didn't have much in common but s...
