The Brown Recluse

She was Delores on the dotted line

About Me

Just a Puerto Rican malcontent surviving in Los Angeles, working the news, writing the poetry, making the films....

My Interests

poetry, film, art- is this general enough for you?

I'd like to meet:

A smart literary woman, a well-read woman, I also have a kryptonite weakness for redheads.

Music:

The new Raggaeton! Wings, Blondie, The Smiths, Morrissey, Poi Dog Pondering, Bare Naked Ladies, Sarah MacLachlan, Michael Penn, David Bowie, Ryan Adams, System of a Down, Tori Amos, anything by the HUSH Label and about 130 obscure bands that hardly anybody knows but I don't want to list them because I don't want to be THAT guy. I still listen to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" periodically. BTW- Amoeba Music rocks!

Movies:

I have very eclectic tastes in this field which change constantly....

Television:

Rome, Extras, Heroes, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, 30 Rock, Deadwood, Big Love, The Sopranos, Battlestar Galactica, Rescue me, Over There, Nip/Tuck, The Wire, CSI, My Name is Earl, The Daily Show, Biography Channel, The IFC Channel, The Sundance Channel, SiTV and yes I do love to watch TV and I never believe those people who claim to hate television and that claim that they don't even own one. I think they are lying and I think they are pretentious, artsy, "scene", and lame.

Books:

Way too many to name but I would have to say "100 Years of Solitude" is probably my favorite. Oh, and "Lolita".Don't forget my literary endeavors:

Heroes:

The Puerto Rican artist Luis German CajigaAlso: Pedro Albizu Campos, Lolita Lebron, Che Guevarra, Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Dalai Lama, and my dad.

Condensed Milk

Condensed Milk She holds a gaggle of reproof bunched in her rolled up panties, on my couch by the moonlight sonata and the hatched chirping nest eggs, instructing me on everything I didn't know from ...

Fetch

Fetch I no longer live alone. I have been bifurcated, duplicated and cloned along my peripheral vision.   I turn around and I am there turning around. I silently laugh and I am next to me laugh...
