About Me

I made my myspace layout using Pimp-My-Profile.com

I am an artist... a traditional painter....www.peterleeds.org...enough said about that....I think I've been to almost every bar in Manhattan. Don't ask me where anything is though. My day consists of wakin up in the gym and never knowing how I got there. Gettin back and paintin at the league or home til I gots to go to work. Nick & Stef's....til? The Ranger Game, where I always find my way in... Then over to Local, where one of my hundred cousins are waiting for me. Say hi to Julianna. She has a great personality. Actually, she has two great personalities!! Also me and my friend Gaby work at XII @ 34th and 3rd. I'm there on Sunday's; she's there the rest of the days. That's a cool place. They have a poker game you can play on the T.V. and some bar pong thursdays. I still stop in at Brother Jimmy's (3rd ave 77th) just to say hi to Mykle and Larry but unfortunately the crowd is getting to young for me. Whom I kiddin. I still love it! Sunday Karioke!!! Nir Na Nog by MSG is still one of my favorite places. The irish bands on Fri and Sat. rock. I get to do my drunk irish gig until I twist my ankle... Yeah, I'm that guy you're watchin and wishin you could.. Anyway... If you're out and in the area, so am I!!

My Interests

Hangin out somewhere except Friday and Saturday nights. Crowds suck. If I'm goin clubin, I'll call up some of my ladies from Scores on Sunday night and hit One (9th ave 13th/14th st). Libation's a cool place Tuesdays. I'm also at Art Students League during the days floatin around and or the Met. I'm a traditional painter so you can check out my website at WWW.PETERLEEDS.ORG... I also work out way too much.. But I love pushing myself to that high point... I've been getting into Yoga.. It's cool. But I'm still a big weightlifter doing yoga. I feel like an idiot but tryin it anyway. I can't wait to bike again when the weather's nice. Or goin gallery hoppin..I surf, swim, bike, run, (triathete) baseball, football, tennis, racketball, basketball, volleyball, hike, etc., etc.. I plan on mountain climbing this summer.. more like wall climbing.. the real thing... straight up a side of a mountain. we'll see. What else?... Who knows.....

I'd like to meet:

I pretty much met everyone I want to meet. I'D LIKE TO MEET STRICTLY HOTTIES.............. Okay... I'm an artist so I guess I'll meet a few artists ......... ARTIST HOTTIES!!!...Just kiddin.. If your cool, give me a shout and I'll do the same... Stop in at Bar XII. 34th/between 3rd and 2nd.

Music:

My ipod has in it's favorites Johnny Cash, Just got the Strokes after seeing them in concert. The pogues, U2 (of course), fuel, incubus, audioslave, dave mathews,, Jack Johnson etc... My classics are public enemy, Acdc, pearl jam, metallica, and movie soundtracks. I do jump around and never discriminate... I mostly love live music though. I'll see anyone live...

Movies:

I watch a movie a day. The ones that are in my collection are 300, WEDDING CRASHERS (motorboat?... you play motorboat?...you motorboatin son of a bitch...) NATURAL BORN KILLERS, SIN CITY (cool effects and color-good storyline) VANILLA SKY, GREAT EXPECTATIONS, MEMENTO, 12 MONKEYS, THE FISHER KING, MAGNOLIA, LORD OF THE RINGS (cartoon version from the 70's), WALKING WITH... Collection (bbc), CAST AWAY..(I love the sound of the ocean..) and of course FIGHT CLUB.

Television:

YANKEES!!!! RANGERS!!!!or....I stick to movies. I'll catch a little of Judge Judy to laugh at the stupidity of the common man. The Real world-original reality T.V- That's about it.. Maybe a Yankee or Ranger game in HD once in a while... I did rent 'lost' on dvd & it's pretty cool.

Books:

Spanish Dictionary- very useful for work, The man who planted trees; the road less traveled; anything by Chuck Palahniuk; Dry by Augusten Burroughs; and Generation Kill by Evan Wright but that's as political as I get. A good one I read when it first came out and I'm re-reading is 'a million little pieces'. It's too bad Oprah blew it up 4 me and ruined any original idea. It's overboard but a good read. I'm in the middle of 'Rust and Bone' by Craig Davidson. Great.. Great.. Book. a bunch of short stories. Give it a read. Let's see....classics... Catcher in the rye... Cats cradle... for whom the bell tolls...any poetry by Yeats.(I love Irish).... The best art history book I read is 'M- The man who became Caravaggio' by Peter Robb. So much more.....

Heroes:

Darwin w/ that whole theory he came up with, Da Vinci, Salvador Dali, Winnie the Pooh and his Tao energy, Arthur Guiness, Mr. Jameson, Thomas Eakins, Tyler Durden and his freedom to 'just let go', Wislow Homer, & Mr. Incredible.
