About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorThere's blood in my coffee...After an old friend astutely pointed out that I'm not 30, I thought it was time for a change. So here it is, my first serious attempt at a myspace profile, cheesy as I still think it is.Work hard, play hard! When not in the home stretch of my crap job, I sing in a punkish band (www.myspace.com/bulllee), I dance in a multimedia performance group (www.dmtlabs.com), I'm a fire dancer, and will be an MBA candidate this coming spring. I used to paint and don't anymore, I have neither the room nor the time, and once I finally told myself, "You're not an artist", everything up to that point made perfect sense. I used to ride BMX and don't anymore. LA's a terrible place to ride, and I sucked anyway. I miss that, I miss NYC like there's no tommorrow. If I could take my life in LA and transplant that into NYC, that would be perfect. But I like being discontent and uncomfortable, as it spurs me to pursue what I really want, so in that respect, LA's not so bad, but it's just bad enough.

My Interests

Entreprenuerial business models, charts and statistics, fire dancing, bellydancing, dancing in general, random themed costumed events, Capture the Flag, random acts of absurdity, intentional awkwardness, performing, and general foppishness.

Matter Is Mind, But Not YOUR MInd

He sat beside me, a brooding man. Low darkened eyes, a pale blue light glinting out beneath; jaw set to the shadows creating danger in his face. Looking much like other solitary sullen brooding men, a...
