About Me

I hate talking about myself, but I guess I will have to, since the kind folks at myspace have given me a place to do such. I wouldn't want to disappoint and be rude for leaving this box empty. Anyways, I am an easygoing person, a prankster and an honorary member of the Danny Ocean's 11 grifters. Nah, I would never do such a thing as robbing a Las Vegas vault. Or would I? Alrighty then...what other stupid ramblings can I continue to type on here? I think I need my coffee now. O.k. where was I, oh yes,hmm,hmm...eventhough I was born in the good ol' seventies you can go ahead and call me a youngster. I don't look a day over 70. Nah, actually most people think I am 25, and I am happy to report to all of you that I do go along with this. Hey, if I can buy me more years than why not. It's kind of like Logan's Run. Just because life ends at 30 doesn't mean I can't run away from it. What else can I say about me, well I love music and I love to play with my synthesizers. I truly enjoy composing music, ranging from 1970's sounding disco, to Depeche Mode sounding 80's music to electronica, whatever, even classical. Another thing I also enjoy doing is painting with Renaissance powder paints and creating fine pencil drawings. You know the type, like the kind Da Vinci and Michelangelo drew back when the world was nice and new. Back when if you dared to challenge the inquisition, you'd get your tongue ripped off and then your body squashed like a tomato inside a metal clamp, boiling lead poured down your throat, eyes plucked out and boiled and served to taste inside a bowl of saucy polenta. Yeah, those years. Renaissance Fair my patushka! O.k. now that I got that out of my system, let's move on to better things. You can classify me as a night creature, as I spend most of my L.A. lifestyle hanging out at night typing crap such as this on myspace or just hanging out downtown L.A. or Hollywood. Foreigners from a far I have to say to ye, it's just like the movies! Seedy, creepy, big, glitzy, trashy, trampy and exciting. That's if you don't encounter any pick pockets or the nightstalker behind one of them dark, old and dirty alleys. Yeah the kind you've seen on countless t.v. shows such as Hunter or T.J. Hooker. You might be asking, why did you post so many pics on your myspace home page? The simple truth is to educate the young ones. I'd like to show the world of today what really cool , campy, silly, funny, stupid, inventive shows and movies and music we had back in the 70's and 80's. They don't make them like that anymore, you must agree my elder friends. One of my biggest dreams and aspirations is to make it big with my online business www.officialsavingsmall.com hint;) and use all the money to make the greatest film ever made by man. I assume this dream will come true in the year 2077 with just one buck a day. Well, there you have it ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, in a nutshell. Hope that you've enjoyed this tiny glimpse as to the everYday workings and going ons of my very exciting California lifestyle.
