Frustration....it's just so sexy....

About Me



So you chose to open my coffin... Hope you're ready for what's inside...

I can be very unpredictable and, lucky you, you’re getting pure honesty from me... *wink*...
Everyone has a story and a personality. I always get a kick out of trying to explain my own. I suppose I’m not an easy person to figure out. There are many people who might make the same claim, but those same individuals probably think they have a clear understanding of who they are. Not to say that I don’t know myself, but as a young man in a day and age with so many choices and not many restraints, it’s hard to place a defining line.
There is a famous quote made by Socrates: "Know thyself."
This may sound like a simple task, but all that I "know" is that there is a difference between knowing who you are and understanding who you are. I am not so arrogant as to assume that I understand my existence and all my choices...
But step into "the know"...
First off, I love experience; I can never get enough. I suppose it's my preference in education. I'm the "hands on" type and I prefer to gain knowledge by touch... I guess you could say I’m a cultural slut, or even an experience junkie. I have a personal goal to live in at least five or six of America's larger cities and several foreign countries before I settle down (if I ever DO settle down). This aspiration is merely based on the grounds that I will gain a better understanding of culture in general. There is so much the world has to offer, and if I can just dip my fingers into its flavor, then I believe that I will be a much more fulfilled individual.
I enjoy people and I’m an easy guy to talk to. That combination allows me to fit in with and float around the culture circle. From Japanese Pop Culture, to Rockabilly shows, Beatnik parties, and then back to the Goth scene.
I keep my feet hot and my attitude cool.
That’s just how I like to live.
I’m a very artistic guy. I love and practice most aspects of the arts. I’m an aspiring painter, poet, singer, and actor. I’m very passionate and when something strikes my interest it has my heart and soul. There is also a part of me that loves to indulge in fashion and image, and I consider fashion as an art-form and not an advertisement. I’m a sucker for High Fashion, Gothic, Punk, Rockabilly, and Retro clothing styles…I myself am an extreme mix of all the above.
My musical taste has the same method of madness.
Other general interests fall under the "creepy" category. Graveyards, Ouija Boards, Mad Scientists, Vampires, Zombies, most monsters really... you know, classic horror shit. A good horror movie, some pasta, and maybe a frolic through a cemetery, and doll face, you’ve got the key to my heart.
During the week I work on the west side in marketing, but on weekends I’m part of the dark Seattle night life. I can be spotted around many of Seattle's alternative hotspots and usually I’m participating in promotion, performance, or both.
While I may be a bit of a party boy I also enjoy the occasional night at home. It's at these times that I take advantage of the time off to paint, write, and cook... yes, I can make one hell of a pasta dish! I do get the "Lone Wolf" syndrome at random, so I need my alone time... But only on occasion...
Here... this should sum me up a little better...I'm PASSIONATE, persuasive, emotional, colorful, quick, BiZARRE, creative, forceful, risk-taking, artistic, open-minded, self-directed, outspoken, classy, impatient, EXPERIMENTAL, restless, settled vagabond (for now) , hopeless romantic, DREAMER, optimist, sensual, high-spirited, LOYAL, competent, perfectionist, RESPECTFUL, loving, GROTESQUE, devoted, SPIRITUAL, forthcoming, fucking charming, DRAMATIC, and very much in my own world...

But you’re welcome to join me...


Please be warned... I love the people in my life. I have the best friends I'll ever need, and a brother that plays the role of "family". They Always come first. I'm always up for meeting new people, but I don't have a lot of extra time... so simply don't be offended if we never meet...
