If You Are Not Metal, You Are Not My Friend!

About Me

Pretty much I use myspace to stalk people, look at fifteen year olds in their panties, make myself look cool, figure out who I want to do this weekend, and gain some interweb validation.
Oh right, you wanted some actual information about me that would help you compare yourself to me since we last spoke in high school.

I went to college for five years studying the ever important Criminal Justice in an attempt to fit in with the straight and narrow. Since I'm a freak by nature (not just by nurture as I once thought), I figured this was a pointless endeavor. Dropped out and fucked around in Europe and Japan for awhile, came back, moved to Portland gave school one last try before realizing that paying a system to make you work like a trick pony was kind of a sham. So I went to the European Institute of Cosmetology (that's a pretentious way of saying beauty school) to learn a trade and foster my talents in the make up artistry realm. Now I'm a licensed esthetician (that's a pretentious way of saying I can wash your face with out getting in trouble with the state health officials) and working make-up artist. Mostly though I sit around and worry about my rock and roll lifestyle and try and think of ways to make my hobbies (ie music) a viable income. After going on tour with the Buzzcocks for about two minutes I realized that there is nothing more in life I'd rather be doing than working in the music biz. Since that crazy turn of events I've been able to run around with all kinds of neat-o people: Strippers, rock stars, Suicide Girls, College Students, Plaid Pantry Employees, Junkies, Ron Artest, Gay Millionaires, DJs, Drag Queens, Street Kids, Bored Housewives, Hippies, Deviants, Scum Bags, Childhood Stars, Private School teachers, and at least one nun. Currently I'm working on learning how to book bands, run a soundboard, and do other misc. cool things, some of which I don't think it's appropriate to talk about on here since god knows which country's terrorism watch groups I'm on these days.
If you didn't feel like reading all of that my life can be summed up easily with: Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll.

My Interests

World travel and other intellectual jibber jabber.Oh yeah and bohemian true love or something. Yeah that's it.. fantastic passion.

I'd like to meet:

I don't want to meet victims, martyrs, and self appointed saints

Music:

Rather than list out a whole bunch of bands, which is annoying and arbitrary, I'll tell you that I listen to all kinds of music, and not in all one genre. Generally I listen mostly to early punk, and different types of rock, rap, and everything inbetween. But it's probably worth mentioning I want to do this man repeatedly every evening:
OMG THE BEST BAND EVAR!

Movies:

Movies made before 1996.

Television:

I'm addicted to OPB like it's tweak.

Books:

1984, Ham on Rye, Geek Love, Galapagos, Notebooks of a Naked Youth, and all kinds of random non fictions. Basically I'll read what ever is put in front of me since I like to read.

Heroes:

Johnny Lydon, Bobby Seale, David Bowie, Joe Strummer, Jesus, and Fidel Castro.
