About Me

I wander the streets, looking for something entertaining other than homeless men wearing mouse masks. After being kicked out of the group Pussy Death Grip by my wonderful friend due to artistic differences, I am now playing the electric triangle and cowbell in my band Old English Tranny. On weeknights I prefer to hang out with a couple of transients at Jumbo's Clown Room, and on the weekends I like do whatever the night may bring...meaning me running through empty washes away from the prying eyes of the law...

..

My Interests

music, books, writing, philosophy, daytrippin' on h2o, fighting "the man", indie/foreign films, drinking, graffiti art, saying profound things at the 99-cent store, anything absurd, art/photography, equality, hanging out with carnies, dj's that can itch it and scratch it, useless knowledge, jesus memorabilia, anything tikilicious, tattoos, helping da animals, making out with gay boys when i'm drunk, makeup, old cars, things that are so wrong they end up making the circle to being right, liquid, horror movies, lying on the sidewalk staring at the stars, pure campy fun, sarcasm, being thumb-body, and all other kinds of shite....

I'd like to meet:

Hmmmmmm....let's see......people who are witty, smart, lacking in morals, able to fight ninja-style, sloth-lovers (all animals of course, but sloths especially) and devoid of all self-esteem so we can have some laughs at your expense! Oh yeah, and tokens of affection via vodka and whiskey shots are highly appreciated!!

isn't funny how you can have alot of friends, but feel like there is no one there?  solitude by choice can be beauty, solitude by default can suck!
