Music, Art, Music, Art, Music! Art! All things creative - My true passion. I love the creative process, no matter what it is. ..I dig Audio Recording, (which Im pretty darn'd good at) Microphones, Anthropology, Film, Art (said that already), Photography. Mark Ryden, Jason Rudolph Pena
Egon Schiele, low brow / High Brow. Love Dane Cook. He's hysterical. Love Travel etc.
I'd like to meet:
Creative, off beat, smart, witty, articulate, fun people who have their shit together. People to go to gigs with and just hang out and have fun with. I want to meet NEW people, as sometimes we get stuck in our "peeps".
I have a "thing" for creative witty guys who tend to be on the smartass side, yet also have a serious side as well. I love a "tall drink of water" and I'm a sucka for an intelligent guy who challenges me. Dig a great spirit, amazing sense of humor (Huge) and a killer smile. Oh yeah I'm a sucker for blue eyes that melt my innerds! lol
Famous people I want to meet? Eh fame doesn't phase me. (I wont lie, it was exciting to meet and talk to Bill Clinton.)I grew up around old Hollywood personalities, and I've have met world leaders so I guess Im not star struck. Okay wait there is one person I may be a little star struck meeting..Sean Connery. Loved that man since I was a kid. Wouldnt mind chatting up Keith Richards & Brian Ferry as well. Would have loved to have met the melancholy Mr. Nick Drake, Muddy Waters, Jeff Buckley, and a list of painters that goes and goes.

Heroes:
I dont know if I have any heroes. Myself?? I admire anyone who can create beauty and evoke thought through their actions, be it a stroke of paint on a canvas, a thought process, a piece of music or just a kinda gesture to a random stranger. I admire, people who have pulled themselves up by their boot straps to make something of themselves. People who are true to themselves and others.
