About Me

Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse................... I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

I'm always up for new experiences. Meeting cool and interesting people and having good friends is what I live for. I love all forms of art.....anything from photography (this background photo is an example of my work) to an obscure modern dance performance. Playing the guitar, writing music, and just being a fan of music has been with me for a long time. Check out my band's music profile......I also like the occasional drink at a cool bar/pub, a place where the music has more heart than just a thumping bass line is always prefered. I can even appreciate a good Karaoke session every once and a while. My fascinations also include; Dr. Pepper, tiki-inspired parties, sushi & sashimi, coffee, bowling, vintage Hollywood, garage sales, reading palms, guitar capos, mullets, the L.A. Lakers, indie movies, photography, taking pictures with my cell phone, predicting the future and Alfred Hitchcock. Wow, I could go on all day, to be continued....

A Bohemian........and the '87 L.A. Lakers
