erekJLA

Born in the ROC. Ran away to San Diego at 24. 5 years in LA. To the rest of the world, Hollywood is a fantasyland full of Glamour and Excitement. To me, Hollywood is the name of the neighborhood I live in. It is filled with Mental Illness, Desperation, and Excess. It also has my favorite Restaurants, Movie Theater, and Stuff. It's Noisy and Dirty. It has a Huge park with Trees and Trails (it sometimes catches fire). It has everything from Trannys to Hacidic Jews to Squatters to Scientologists. It can provide more opportunities to get completely Fucked-Up Out-of-Your-Mind than you can imagine. It practically Demands it. At least that's how I saw it for a long time. I Love Hollywood and I Dream of the day when I don't have to live here. I don't wander around the streets getting drunk by myself anymore. This summer I finally checked out a place called the the Bicycle Kitchen. It changed my Fucking Life. I built a Fixed Gear bicycle with their guidance for a totally reasonable price. I ride it every damn day. It is indescribable.'About Me' is I love riding my bike. I love doing Hair and getting Paid for it. I love going to Cool Movies. I love Art that makes people uncomfortable. I love Rock Music. I love Jazz music. I love Tom Waits. I love Burgers (Med Rare Bacon Swiss Lettuce Tomato Mayo Grilled Onions). I have a serious Problem regarding my Love of the Simpsons. I'm a nice guy who used to Fuck Up a LOT. Now I just Fuck Up occasionally, but when I DO I promptly admit it and try to learn from it.
