About Me

on rainy days i like to sling paint onto things and call it art. sometimes people give me money for this. that's cool. when the sun shines i stand on street corners in crowded cities just so i can watch the people walking by. sometimes people watch me back. that's cool too. i don't really do much for fun but generally i'm having a good time despite myself. that's good fortune. go figure...i have no money, i drive a 41 year old car, i can't carry a tune, and i can't dance...i'm kinda goofy looking, somewhat clumsy and my mouth and brain have been known to work independently of each other at the absolute worst moments. i have a book that lists some of my negative astrological traits as verbosity, immorality, shamelessness, revolutionary, hm...doesn't sound too bad to me. sure sounds better than obsessive, pedantic, dilentente. see, things could be worse. but what do I know? and if I knew would it really matter anyway? i have no sense of humor, and can't tell a joke at all - deadpan delivery, no timing...i have too many unfinished tattoos (advice 101: if yer girlfiend's a tattoo artist make sure she finishes yer tattoos before ya'll break-up), unruly hair, piercings, a silly dog, no shame, too much pride, high standards, low expectations, a misspent youth, a sordid past and a bad attitude! woo-hoo!

My Interests

using toy cameras to collect images of this little thing or that, saving the world - one social event at a time!, traveling the globe & alienating fine looking women since 1969! leaving my vagina in el segundo, paraskevidekatriaphobia, uh, "rocking", being a dork, making stupid mistakes...still, causing havoc, shifting the paradigm, gender bending, dry wit, a dry martini, dry heat, fine art, not-so-fine art, performance art, making art, good company, pretty girls, hot chicks, smart women, specifically those able to handle my perspicaciousness, staying outta jail, falling in love with someone i shouldn't have fallen in love with, driving along two lane country highways, spontaneous social events, cooking/eating/sharing food with my friends & family as some talk a little trash while getting a little trashed, random conversations with those i love, total strangers and people i haven't met yet...

I'd like to meet:

people from my past that i lost along the way, well-mannered boys, pretty flirty girls, intelligent women, drag kings, sassy queens, literate folk, music makers, landscapers, artists, teachers, peace keepers, collaborators, partners in crime, story tellers, belly dancers, explorers, travelers, people on the right path, those once on the wrong path, my brother's keeper, a farmer's daughter, my future ex-wife, the love of my life, occasional witty smartass types, becky wreck and, uh, perhaps even you...really i do. now, don't you wanna be my friend too?OH, AND IF YOU'RE IN THE EAST HOLLYWOOD AREA THIS SATURDAY OCTOBER 27TH COME ON OVER TO THE 1516 BUILDING & TYLER'S 5TH ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY (www.myspace.com/halloweenparty)
