About Me

Every time I do a profile I feel like I have to make it into a confessional. This is silly, but I like it. I am very emotional. Girls fuck me up, but I love them very much. I am very secretive, but will let you into my world when the time is right. My world is full of contradictions. You can't live without love, but don't hide your hate. OFten times I would like to dissappear; maybe to a small island on the Mediterranean, or Morocco or Tangiers and live in a world of oriental luxury smoking hashish and opium in a harem. Unfortunately the times are very turbulent so my little dream will have to take a back seat. For now though, I do enjoy simple pleasures like hanging out with friends and having some drinks and being seen or seeing, Reading a book, record and thrift shopping and finding unique cultural treasures, shooting poetic and personal photographs. Maybe sometimes just being a piece of furniture or decoration. Also, will kiss the feet of anyone ( and pay too) who can find me original shirts by Mr. Fish, and clothes by Granny Takes a Trip, Harry Fenton, Hung on You, Mr. Freedom. I know that this request is very futile but you never know. Some Recommended Music Sites: Bubblegum the PunkMod Pop Punk ArchivesCollectorScum.comGlam Rock Bear's Glam Rock FilesFunky 16 Corners

I'd like to meet:

THere was a time when I wanted to meet so many 'famous' people , but now I have such a deep and intense love for every human being that I want to meet EVERYBODY! It is more beautiful to meet somebody that you can actually relate to rather than some untouchable person. I just want to be a more compassionate human being and lose that distance. ALthough being a Star beautiful as well.
