MAXIMO

About Me

%D%AI created my profile with Myspace Layouts+ %D%A%D%AStandard nerd made good. Black glasses, diesels, art snob, music snob, food snob, tons of travel, happy to be blinking and breathing, happier to be doing it in good company! %D%A

My Interests

Modern art, depression era politics, small islands, turning lead into gold, that sort of thing...

I'd like to meet:

People who are very good at what they do. Welding, book binding, glass blowing, doesn't matter, the more esoteric, the more committed, the better.

Music:

Sonny Rollins, Ray Charles, the Gilbertos, Ravel, Les Sans Culottes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Brian Wilson, Cubanisimo, Sly and the Family Stone, Radiohead, D'Angelo, Neil Diamond, the BeeGees,Donny Hathaway, Sarah Vaughn

Movies:

Anything by Eastwood, Fellini, Bruckheimer, Tim Burton, Kubric, Hithcock, or Coppola, but not above donating my time and money to summer blockbusters...Speilberg's great too...

Television:

A tool of the Devil...a waste of your breath and precious time on earth...unless its the NBA finals, the Simpsons, or those pithy VH1 specials...

Books:

This list would take more time then either one of us has right now...

Heroes:

My parents, Coltrane, Becca Hummon, Lyndon Johnson, Miles Davis, Mark Rothko, and Flannery O'Connor. Maybe Rudy Gulliani...

The Waters of March

The lyrics to AC Jobim's "The Waters of March" A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road, It's the rest of a stump, it's a little alone, It's a sliver of glass, it is life, it's the sun, It i...
