I want what I want....

About Me

Recepción a mi cerebro :) My little page is here in hopes of sharing my spirit with the world or at least people who are bored and awake at 3 AM Eastern Standard Time. I am a bass guitarist amongst other things I play. I'm a singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist. I am quite fond of computers made by that company that makes those iPods and iPhones that some of you might have heard about as a sketchpad for my ideas. I enjoy fine dining. I love Asian cuisine especially Thai. I love nature hikes and bike riding. I can fit into almost any social situation unless it's the national republican convention (That I proudly protested during the first Dubya run for office in the pouring rain). I can have a great time relaxing at a jazz club watching live music sipping a martini in a sharp suit or going to art galleries on the first Friday of the month or even at a heavy metal or goth/industrial show being in a great big pit of people screaming their lungs out with drinks spilling everywhere while fire breathers spin on their heads . I love to laugh. I can be very serious and focused at times but I can also be very silly in a British comedy kind of way . I like dancing (especially to stuff like She Wants Revenge, Bowie, Duran Duran, Bauhaus,Dead Can Dance, The Cure, James Brown, P-Funk and Depeche Mode). I like old Charlie Chaplain films (and lots of other black and white silent movies). I also enjoy classic special effects like in "The Thing" . I can also say I am proud to have grown up knowing some amazing people in the city of Philadelphia. My time in Tampa Florida has also given me some great people who have been true friends.

My Interests

..Bass guitar, Archery, Arts, Dancing, Dining, Movies, Listening to Music, Canoeing, Outdoor Activities, (Apple) Macintosh, Reading, Spirituality, Travel, Cooking, Computers, Playing Music

I'd like to meet:

People with an adventurous attitude towards life. I like to spend time with intelligent, unselfish, respectful, scrupulous people that have a deep understanding of the world and its culture and how to treat others from different situations. I enjoy Friends with a twisted sometimes silly sense of humor. I like people who are not afraid to laugh at themselves. I like glamor but some people carry it poorly by being elitist about it (It's art people wake up from your pretension please). It's a fast way to make people kill your scene by not being in it). I also enjoy friends with some type of artistic talent that they have a strong passion for. Most importantly I only want to meet the ones that change me for the better not the worse.
