I am here for Friends

About Me

Hey folks, well my bio is pretty basic. But here goes, I've got the same b-day as Jimi Hendrix (11-27), year? Oh man, 1970 (Sagitarius). But I don't feel it, no really. I've been a christian since I was 16, worked as an EMT at many hospitals in the East L.A. area (and whatever you can think up I saw). Have a son (The POPS) born in '92. He's the best thing that ever happened to me. Divorced on Christmas of 2000, due to my accident. I used to ride the wheels off my skateboard, surfed, played intercollegiate and on a travelling softball team for parks. But then on August 19, 2000 I had a life changing experience, after surfing all morning long, my co-workers and I decided to run into the ocean and cool off from the scorching heat. Well it just so happens that as I was waist deep in the water I dove in and hit a sand bar, breaking 5 of my neck bones. Now I'm a quadraplegic, now I'm back in school going for my B.A. in Computer Graphics. Art has always been my passion. I'd been airbrushing since '81 and got into the aerosol scene soon after. As a hobby I painted Harley Davidson bikes (graphics, like flames, and other stuff) which I made more than my regular job till this happened. Now my son picks'em up and loves to paint as well. He's my inspiration and the reason why I still push on with life.

My Interests

Movies, bigtime aerosol art buff, art shows, Punk Rock concerts, Auto Racing (like CART i.e. Long Beach Grand Prix). Showing my son more airbrush tricks and tips, smoking a cigar once in a while.

I'd like to meet:

People who give off good vibes, into the aerosol scene as well and maybe a nice woman to keep me company.

Music:

From Andrea Bochelli (opera singer) to Johnny Cash, 80's punk rock. My favorite Social Distortion, even heavy metal like Iron Maiden, Metallica, AC/DC, blues like Ry Cooder and Tom Waits, Ratm, Green Day, Audioslave etc. So I'm pretty much into all types of music. I think you get the point.

Movies:

Action, Adventure, Romance (sounds kinda funny, but hey, I like'em), again pretty much open. Cartoons i.e. Bugs Bunny. Pixar flicks are cool.

Television:

That 70's Show, Discovery, Spike, PBS, Speed Channel, History channel, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network (old Bugs & Daffy, Elmer and the rest of the gang).

Books:

Anything that has to do with Graphics, Photoshop, aerosol art and cool documental type. Like the philadelphia experiment. Tattoo books are also good ideas that inspire me.

Heroes:

My parents (without them I'd be a nobody), my son (BIG TIME). Great friends like Craola.
