About Me


Yipes and AWAY !
groovy, smiling, egyptomexican with a wacky, twsted and occasionally dark sense of humor. I am still pretty freaking smart despite years of staying out way too late with my friends trying to darwinize my weaker brain cells. I would never dis anyone to their face, unless it is a dear friend, and I'm grinning... I channel cosmic rays, leylines, solar energy, voodoo gods and any other intangible power source, convert it and in turn radiate fun. I love music- mostly electronic stuff, and classic punk, rock and hip hop. Above all else I love my family, friends, motorcycles, record collection, and surfing*... I'm beginning to get attached to my van even though it had two too many wheels... Everyone is entitled to their own mythology-when the mothership lands they are going to ask why we think motorcycles, turntables , and surfboards were given to Earth. Answering correctly gets a sweet loft with an intergalactic view- the wrong gets you handed a mop and keys to the cleaning closet. I'm not gettin' a mop. I'm a NYCboy with a little space cowboy inside. Recently I moved out of the city and now Im livin' upstate in the Hudson valley- still working infinitely on my house, but I'm loving it up here.... I've lived in NY most of my life, and I truly believe NYC is the greatest city in the world. It was home until just recently, now I'm up in Fishkill honing my own style of shock and awe ;) It is a little far from the city, but I'm great at finding fun, and equally so at making it if it can't be found. I love traveling across the country (via moto ideally), visiting with friends overseas, or even just wandering local and see all the sh*t that I forget is right here... Life's pretty in place these days (knock on wood!) Work is cool, I got a house which is a ton of work (it was a fixer upper), but at least its mine; thankfully, I'm not in dire need of anything except for sleep :) In general I'm a pretty low key person- I like being comfortable, and I hate being bored. I just want to have as much fun as possible in my time here- when I go They can bury my bike & records with me... Negative and mean spirited people get quadruple ‘icks’ if not a half dozen FU's in my book- I don’t really have too much patience for either kind. If you ride give a shout. If you like Motos give a shout. Hell if you surf, talk to aliens, dig having fun and laughing til you can’t breathe give a shout. Hallelujah Dont forget to REMEMBER EARTH CLEARLY...*I don’t actually know how to surf well, but I imagine when I’m good it will be kind of like riding. If you’re a surfer and think I don’t know what I’m talking about then learn to ride really well and toss me an email. *an adendum* - If you're fun and in the area give a shout- I'd love to meet some people from my new 'hood

My Interests

Motorcycles, surfing, Music, Grooving, living, adventuring, mind controlling the masses, travelling, building my moto army, chilling, goofing, daydreaming, Flight.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that digs the sound of the ocean, the sound of your motor in the powerband, the thunder and groove of someone tearing it up on the decks.... People that can still laugh even though the sound of motorcycle bouncing off the limiter hid the sound of police sirens in close pursuit.... *for 8 miles* Moto people. People that want to become moto people. Surfers. Artists (not the foo foo pinky extended types). Well maybe the pinky types... we'll have to see... freaks, fools, fun folk, djs, dancers, doctors, tech monkeys, suits, and suits that wish they had grown up and done any of the above... You get the picture.*even moreso of people up in my area

Music:

Music so intense that it makes me want to explode. Or jump up with my arms waving making devil signs everywhere. Failing that - music that makes me wish I could move like a sped up raver flailing about or a well schooled break dancer... dark and sexy, dark and hard, loud n' fast, rhythmic and groovy, mushroomed and rainbowed or Acid house frenzy I like it.all.. *- House, Techno, Breaks, Goth, Industrial, Punk, New Wave, Rock,Metal even some hip hop- basically I'm a dirty music whore.*except country or western (if there is a difference) , opera *shudder*, and *hack, spit* showtunes

Movies:

Give me aliens or give me death. Horror, sci fi are my faves, comedies and anime are fun too...

Television:

TV SUCKS. sort of. .. I do get a guilty pleasure kick out of Fear Factor, Chapelle show, and South Park, Daily show isn't bad either. I'll watch LOST, The Wire, The Shield- if I get a chance. Looney tunes from the 70's rock, all in all there is some fun out there, but nothing I'd plan for...

Books:

Philip K Dick stories- A Scanner Darkly, Steppenwolf/ Hesse stuff, Gaiman, Terminal Cafe, Schwa world Operations Manual, Buffalo Soldier, Robert anton Wilson, Hitchhikers Guide, Carlos Casteneda, Colin Wilson, George RR Martin, EVERYTHING by Richard K Morgan so far, having fun with pulpy Horror by Dean Koontz

Heroes:

My parents and grandparents most of all. Sochiro Honda. Valentino Rossi (even though the F*er defected and now rides Yamaha)Everyone that said F* it and dropped 20 Mil to fly into space.

My Blog

Oh so strange.
