About Me

Young, broke professional making the most of life in the Burg. I'm a wild Florida native who loves dive bars, art house flicks, anywhere they let me smoke a cigarette and hanging out with friends. Nothing is more fun than a night of movies, live music or just good company and beer. Why do these things always come off sounding so damn pretentious?
You Belong in Soho
Although you may not be a professional artist, you do dabble in one form of art or another.
And you indie culture of all kinds - from little botiques to art house films.

Movies:

Uh... I'm a film school drop out... Do you really think it's wise to get me started? Um... Bubba HoTep, baby! (I'll watch any movie that is utter crap and stars Bruce Campbell).

My heart is crammed in my cranium and it still knows how to pound

The body tells the story of the internal struggle for survival. Just weeks ago, I taunted death because there was no foreseeable reason to keep it at bay. Now, I awake everyday to t...

A little bit Hindu, a little bit Pagan, a whole lot confusing
