Sounds. My heart beating. Sushi. The people I love. Words. Bald heads. My mother's menudo. Being challenged by art. Mexican Jumping Beans . Laughing my ass off. Cigars. Eating well. Vodka Martinis.Reading more, watching tv less. Extremely hot soup. The sun on my bare torso. Connecting. Edamame. Men with tattoos. Women with awesome legs. People who smile with their eyes. Bein' a Pretentious Barefooter . Dolmas. Coffee that's "Black as the moon on a moonless night."____________________
I'd like to meet:
Looking to meet new friends from all walks of life... unless you're a freak. Then I DEFINITELY wanna meet you.So if you cool you're my kinda cat. Let's get our talk on bro, allright?
Music:
Glósóli by Sigur Ros , Uh-Merica by Regina Spektor , Girls by Death in Vegas , See My Friends by Gravenhurst , I Will Survive by Cake , Baba O'Reilly (Live) by The Blue Man Group , Carabou by
The Pixies , When You Wasn't Famous by
The Streets , Face It by
Moby , and Liar- Live by Henry Rollins, with Rollins Band My ears are my fortune. I get off on all kinds of sounds . Wind chimes, cofee brewing, birdsong, leaves crunching beneath my tread, thunder, and the thud of mail dropped in box if expecting a parcel turn me on. If I hear a bagpipe being played live, I almost immediately begin to weep.Make sure you check out my Misterz Manos- The Lounge of Fate Music Profile for some originally designed oddball soundscapes by yours truly.____________________
TheatrePicnic came and went on the train. It was a beautiful thing. Thanks to all that came to see it. Photo blog is forthcoming.In October 2007, I direct The Tragedy of Macbeth for Shakespeare Dallas.Theatre is all-encompassing. I hate the stereotype that it's an elitist entertainment. I've been involved with shows for adults that have been profound, transcendental experiences. And I've created Shakespearian shows for kids that had them laughing their little hearts out.Make sure you check out these photos from the production of Twelfth Night , which I directed in October 2005.____________________

Television:
They obsession with sassy teen girls was recently killed with the cancelation of Veronica Mars , after three mere seasons. I hate television. And I don't want to talk about it.____________________
Books:
King Dork by Frank Portman was amazing. Winkie by Clifford Chase moved my ass. Scott Smith's grisly The Ruins was gross. Truman Capote's In Cold Blood is happening now.I couldn't be more excited about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows coming out in mere weeks!I'm also into C.S. Lewis' The Narnia Chronicles and Madeline L'Engle's Time Quartet . Also a big Sherlock Holmes fan. Really dig the plays of Sam Shepard. And you can't go wrong with the lean-mean career of JD Salinger.Love The Secret History by Donna Tartt. Was by Geoff Ryman is a headfuck. You're missing out if you've never read House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Always up for re-reading The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.Finally, as far a THE MAN goes, you can look no further than William Shakespeare's The Tempest and The Tragedy of Macbeth. They are two perfect stories, told perfectly.____________________
Heroes:
David Lynch (pictured below)is my absolute muse, inspiration and aspiration.Helen Keller, who not only learned to speak but spoke three differnt languages. Mistro Paul Giamatti. Raphael Parry (my theatrical father.) Ryan White. Rosa Parks. Cesar Chavez. Martian Luther King Jr. Jamie Schield. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Harvey Milk.The endlessly talented Douglass Burks who taught me how to pupeteer.My parents Elida and Eliazar who marched with Cesar Chavez in the 70's.The Bard (pictured below.) So many damn questions.Finally, to all of the fearless mother fuckers who take a stand (any kind of stand) against indifference, intolerence and injustice: You are what truly makes this country great. I have your back, bros.____________________
