About Me

I left California in 1994. I left Montana in 1996. I left Oregon in 2005 to visit California again. I am somewhat of a rarebird living in the town I grew up in. I have never been married, nor do I have any children at my age. I have been searching in a desert to find water....and now I will go back to land of rain....and get back to where I once belonged.

My Interests

Playing la guitarra, (currently enjoying customizing mine as well) renting "period" movies (Avalon, Sweet and Lowdown, Band of Brothers, etc.), listening to the Garrison Keillor show on Sunday mornings, mountain biking trails, jet skiing, sailing, jogging, working out, going out to see good movies, plays, etc., getting really excited when I meet non-musician folks who know of Django (and other "old" musicians), getting a good shave on me' noggin', and generally seeking places in SoCal that provide a damn good cup o' java (I have been spoiled in the Northwest), and other things I can't think of.

I'd like to meet:

Well, I know her.........I have met them...........I, of course, know him..........now I want to meet everyone else....are you ready for me?....one thing is for sure:I dont know who this girl is, but I found this picture, and doesn't she look a hell of alot like 3 different people I know?..

Music:

Gypsy jazz, big band swing, rockabilly/psychobilly, western swing, a bunch of Eastern European folk music (Russian, Romanian, etc.), and other crap you can't find on the radio....except for my panache' towards 80's new wave that I still can't seem to shake

Movies:

Lots of Horror movies.....and "MirrorMask"....and "When Harry Met Sally"

Television:

This profile was edited with FearKiller's Pimp MySpace 2.0

Books:

What's The Matter With Kansas?, Fast Food Nation, Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market, Stardust, American Gods, Good Omens Bad Omens, Neverwhere, and really...just about anything Neil Gaiman has ever touched (isn't he just always been amazing for us?!!)...and now currently a novel almost exclusively based on historical fact called The Devil in the White City, and, of course, Dregni's "Django" book

Heroes:

Heroes? Everytime I meet someone I admire, or someone I used to, I realize that they are full of crap. Except Emmet Ray and Daniela.

My Blog

I would like to order a side of "how to please", please

(Also, I could have called this "Weighing out the options, while continuing the role of emotional, and somewhat romantic provider....but NO I am not a gigalo!")Earlier this week I had lunch with an ol...

Open Water ....the movie
