About Me

if i were to give you a proper view of me, id have to start at the beginning...im that kid who is always distracted by the bright and shiny. or im that kid whos life in his head always seems to be somewhat more exaggerated than the one that already is. better yet im that kid that always seems to be with the program and in the zone but in actuality has a song in his head and tomorrows wardrobe already coordinated. and despite the budding career, the dog, the house, and the occasional high vocabulary word, im still that kid. so lets start the show, have a look around, listen to the music, and if that don't fill your taco, then take a peek at the reading material in the left hand pocket.

My Interests

i like going to see some good bands for good music. free food. my dog. i like hanging out with my people. a laid back scene. staying up late playing cards and having a beer on the patio. movies, when i can afford it. thrifty ice cream. wandering thru asian markets. i even like going to thrift stores or the park n swap. running thru the sprinklers in the middle of the night. swing sets. telling my grandma shes a sexy bitch. taking my dog out running. watching movies with little fat kids...they make me laugh. laughing. sushi. gossip mags. indie movies. i like it hard. anything to do with the moon. the night. hole in the wall bars. breakfast burros. cooking shows. i like me.

Music:

The Pixies, Ben Harper, The Used, The Shins, Breaking Benjamin, Dave Matthews Band, Richard Humpty Vission, Stereophonics, The Gorillaz, Elliot Smith, Bowie, Bassment Jaxx, Nick Drake, Weezer, Bad Boy Bill, Violent Femmes, DJ Irene, Smashing Pumpkins, Modest Mouse, THE RAMONES!, Sublime, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Me First and The Gimme Gimmes, etc.

Movies:

Im an Indie boy...that should say it all. Thus my love for Rose McGowan was born. Or into the random imports...particularly Battle Royale.

Television:

im a pop culture junkie. all about the ANTM, most of the MTV material, for some reason Drawn Together, and my most rediculous peers on my super sweet sixteen. greedy bitches. lets not forget Grey's Anatomy and my faves Edina and Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous.

Books:

Catcher in the Rye is my first choice. Chuck Palahniuk is amazing and my new underdog David Sedaris.

Heroes:

sherman alexie...he has the most raw and prolific sets of writing. it makes me proud. his examples of the misfit, the urban, the non-conformist, the innovator, and the leader in each native, makes me feel at home.
