About Me

Sometimes quiet is best. The inflated need to shout out, holla back or simply ramble on produces unreadable profiles.But there are brains and souls amongst the flotsom and jetsom of MySpace, and it has been a joy to discover them.In the real world of physical interaction, gravity and consequences, I own a gym called Bodytribe Fitness. If you've been there, you know of its role as an artistic community as well as a physical culture sanctuary. If you haven't been there, look it up, and then come say hi.That is all, and I really was on the Don Ho show.

My Interests

High intensity physical exertion, which ultimately can lead to personal development. And long walks on the beach while the the sun sets on the blazing corpse of my last serial kill.

I'd like to meet:

People who strive for play in their lives, through movement and strength. Oh, and a muppet. Not the guy whose fisting the puppet's ass, but the actual muppet. Which one doesn't matter.

Music:

No thank you, it gives me gas, although I'm particularly keen of the mixolydian scale and D flat as an individual note. It amuses me reading people's music selections, because so many of them say some version of...Music: Everything, from (popular pop/metal band) to (popular rap/country band).In other words you like a broad range of what is on the radio, which represents about one 10,000th of what actually exists on this planet. Well I suppose it's a start, but until there is a shout out for 'everything from Gamelan to Tuvan music, with anything off the Blossming Noise label throw in for a good time,' just accept that perhaps your range isn't as broad as it could be. And that is okay. Lawd knows popular recording artists need fans too.

Movies:

Is this movies I've been in, or movies I enjoy watching, or movies I'd like to make or my favorite film stock or recording medium? How about an esoteric answer like "no, not after last time?"

Television:

No, not after last time.

Books:

have lots of pages and sometimes pictures. I like pictures, although I did learn to read once.

Heroes:

are really strong and can do super things
