The Thrift Shop Sampler

About Me

Carlos Blanco of the Thrift Shop Sampler is simply put, really just "an honest to 6 pound 8 ounce infant baby jesus party animal" -Danarchy- , who's appetite for music, dance and the expressive arts is insatiable. Interests vary of course and if not behind his low-budget, yet trusty, outdated SU700yammaha beat pirating device, you might find this sarcastic bastard working fah tips at a dead end job, jottin down a few poetic lines, attending outdoor ruckus raising gatherings with his beloveds or daydreaming that he is down the street fervently making "whoopee" with his neighbor's wife while on a conference call with his favorite sex line, his pastor and his stock broker...all at the same time! Enjoy!
