About Me

i'm a texan, born & raised (don't blame me for bush) but i've been in l.a. for over a decade now. film biz. i'm an old straight-edge guy so i'm still clean & sober but I've never judged anybody for what they do w/ their lives. I tend to avoid bars & all that scenester stuff b/c I get bored pretty quickly unless there's a band or something to do besides drink. i like goin' to rockabilly shows & doin' some dancin' w/ a nice betty or seein' movies or stuff like that. in a nutshell, I like gals, cars, music, movies & coffee, probably in that order.

My Interests

i think i covered this already: gals, cars, music, movies & coffee.

I'd like to meet:

anybody who like swing dancin', movies, rockabilly, pool, bowling, whatever.

Music:

rockabilly (johnny cash, carl perkins, big sandy, cave catt sammy, raging teens, royal crowns, rip carson, etc), country (the real deal like merlre haggard, willie nelson, br5-49, junior brown, lucky stars, not that achy breaky nashville shit), jazz (old school like pre-64 coltrane, mingus, parker, davis, not the kenny g vomit!), blues (robert johnson, ma rainey, muddy waters, john lee hooker), punk/hardcore.

Movies:

too many to list. of course there's the original star wars trilogy, the leone westerns (fistful of dollars, for a few dollars more, and the good, the bad, the ugly), hong kong movies (legend of fong sai yuk, iron monkey, drunken master 2, hardboiled), samurai movies (zatoichi, lone wolf & cub), and all those film noir/b&w/classics (sunset blvd., double indemnity, all about eve, mildred pierce, citizen kane). i dig arty farty films too but i'm bored w/ the blind boy & his grandma learnin' about life, etc. ugh. i have a guitly soft spot for 80's teen flicks (i was a teen in the 80's so gimme a break) and i do indulge in the hollywood blockbusters.

Television:

i don't have t.v. or cable. i disconnected in 2000. i do miss the history chanel (mummies & shit!) & cartoon network. thankfully king of the hill (like a documentary of my childhood in texas), southpark & aqua teen hunger force are on dvd. i'm happy to say that i've never seen any reality tv or dating shows. crap.

Books:

i don't have much leasure time anymore but i've always liked the "classics" of western culture like "moby dick", "notes from underground", etc. i haven't read much contemporary lit but i did do all the cormac mccarthy books & absolutely loved "the crossing".
