About Me

RocknRoll, drinking and travel- trying not to jump from frying pan into fire. Seeking fun, after hours, drinking too much Sparks, creating mischief, enjoying art, finding salvation, running from convention.. width="425" height="350" ....

My Interests

music, film, art - a weakness for 60's, garage rock, graphic design, good books, mojo & big takeover, theremin, comic books/fantagraphics, dedicated followers of fashion, drummers

I'd like to meet:

smart, witty, heart of gold people- who haven't given up, fight the good fight, believe in life, love, and would rather do something, see something, make something, be something- than score their next fix. Party people who know to control it and not be controlled. Creative people who remind us with their art what life is and can be. Those who cherish friends, family and lovers-
