I make some music. www.vidavox.net

I am the Arnaldo.

My Interests

im in the business of making. music. projects... i own school. books. i often manipulate conversation into comedy. stealth. i run fast. faster than you. unless youre super fast, in which case i concede defeat. i hurt my shoulder and rehab it daily. im health conscious. i have a hyper-metabolism. i enjoy preparing meals. i believe chaos is a natural byproduct of the creative process. im an incredibly poor speller, but i try my best to make the proper corrections.

I'd like to meet:

sleep, i promise you two smooches if you ever come my way again.

Music:

i like my band: vidavox. i think we're pretty good. some people agree. i like steve reich, aloha. especially aloha: fabulous lyrics. thrill jockey is usually pleasing to my face. me likes the sea and cake. tortoise. castor. stereolab. faraquet. belle & sebastian. c-clamp. polly jean H. karate. him ( --Not the swedish metal band). beach house. icy demons. rachel's. yo la tengo makes my heart soar. i really should mention much more but, as you probably have at one point or another, i've drawn a complete blank.

Movies:

*life can be so wonderful* is nicely. wes anderson. Most Coen bros. Charlie Kaufman. BILL MURRAY. D.lynch. punch drunk love. i'm not scared. songs from the second floor. Helvetica. comedian. documentaries in general. orlando. 21 grams. ::: rarely is a remake better than the original, but this is the case with Solaris (2002)

Television:

Top Chef. Flight of the Conchords. The office. Human Giant. It's always sunny... Conan O. SNL. simpsons. seinfeld. Dr. Zoidberg. i guess i like family guy, but for some reason it feels totally wrong to admit it.

Books:

crazy linguistics textbooks. Rabbit, Run ! Slapstick, Ham on Rye, catch-22, slaughterhouse 5, the conformist, the unbearable lightness of being, the norton shakespeare. Vonnegut !!!! Bukowski, the faerie qveene, noam chomsky, mark twain. ralph ellison.

Heroes:

jeni jones, the world famous TV personality.
