This is not me

About Me

My photos through DeviantArt
I like to think Im an artist. I love to draw, paint, animate, take pictures, sculpt and generally create. One day I may try to cultivate some musical talent. Until then Ill just keep taking pictures of musicians and hope for the best.
I currently make pretty pictures at a rad ad agency called( Imagebase ). Im also working very hard and trying to get 2 movies made. The first is a short film noir which needs an actress. So if you know any stunning women who can act let me know. The other is a feature length documentry that should be done in the summer of 2009 (oi, films take way to long to make. I feel like a fat kid trying to loose 100 lbs).
Sometimes I wonder if life is simply a book with a beginning middle and end or whether its a myriad of short stories that might one day have meaning in retrospective.
Either way I have dedicated myself to living it. The highs and the lows, the ebb and the flow. This is the main reason I have not accepted buddhism fully. I love you all, everyone who has held a booth in the Bizzare of Matt.
I have lived a short life, sometimes charmed, sometimes cursed. I wouldn't change a thing. Im looking for love, and a family. I long for someone to buy flowers for on a random day, and I still fondly think of the women who have gotten away. However, I have started to accept that love may be the one thing I will never find.
My friends are the most important thing in my life. I don't have many, and they rarely last as long as I would like.
I find peace in large places. My heart belongs to my home, Lake Tahoe. I only truely feal free in the water, alone, in the silence.
Im a contradiction who fails personality tests, not due to a lack of, but possibly too much. Ill tell you how it is, and not think of the consequences.
I love history, especially american history. Im especially fond of finding finger prints on petroglyphs and the hairs of the artist paint brush on classical works of art. One day I hope to go back to school and focus on anthropology.
I tend to ramble until people zone me out,.......
