once I had a dream I was in Mexico and then I woke up with pesos in my hand

About Me

I hope I can some day live in a village, in the middle of some foreign world surrounded by rare, not quite right people that make me giggle. I'll feed on the pulse and fever of their life and I think I'll wear a loin cloth, speak in verse and fall in love with some random man of mythic proportions who’s passion runs in dark drunken passages.www.friendster.com/20643584

My Interests

Anything that makes me smile, imagine, forget or appreciate existence.I think that there are 3 things that you can give your friends and family: happiness, freedom and peace of mind.This is a pic from an orphanage outside of Kabul.

I'd like to meet:

The official Pinball wizard, pro "air" guitarist, Canadian pro fribee player, inventor of the zamboni and/or Jumbo Tron, and of course Jason Lee. I'd let him take advantage of me and then I'd thank him. Go out with him...sure, if I have time.One of the best photos to come out of my Afghanistan visit.

Music:

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life and it feeds the emotions we easily forget we have" this is by someone great like Mark Mothersbaugh. I hope it's a quote by someone because I didn't make it up.Below is a pic of my buddy from a vocational center in Afghanistan. mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true"

Movies:

Kung Fu and ANYTHING WITH SOCCER. I try to pretend I don't dig movies, but I just don't dig theatres. Spinal Tap, True Romance, Domino, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, Motorcycle Diaries, Candy, Half Baked, Camelot (old school version), Amadeus, Bar Fly, Flowers in the Attic, The Shinning, Pet Cemetery, Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies, Super Trooper, Alfie, Amelie, Big Fish, Labyrinth, Room with a View, The Neverending Story, The Science of Sleep, Hotel Rwanda, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, Russian Dolls, Wyatt Earp, Indiana Jones (all), Royal Tenanbaums, Little Miss Sunshine, Running with Scissors, Rushmore, any Bond movie, Lord of the Rings Trilogy... too many to mention.

Books:

Good and Evil, The hobbit, The God of Small Things, Master and Margarita blah, blah, blah there's too many.

Heroes:

anyone who promotes the philosophy of NONVIOLENCE, Pele who dominated soccer for two decades, and Bruce Lee who is the patron saint of the cult of the body.Favorite quote: "an eye for an eye makes the world blind" by MLK
