My Interests

FiRST FRiDAY - rip

Skateboarding, Motocross, Surfing, Art, Music, Tattoos, Computers, Traveling.....and my guilty pleasure for those of you who really know me....drinking Jager

I'd like to meet:

I'm brand new to south florida via vegas...looking to get involved in the local art scene - none of that high class shit though...where do all the dirty punk rock, skaters, artsy, eccentric, vagabond type of folks hang again???...if you know, drop me a line...

Quotes:
You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Music:

Death Cab, Lucero, Bloc Party, Hot Water Music, Jets To Brazil, Jawbreaker, Knapsack, Deftones, The Notwist, Modest Mouse, Pinback, Samiam, Social D, Bouncing Souls, Taking Back Sunday, Against Me, Op Ivy, Dead Prez, The Roots

Movies:

Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, Good Will Hunting, Lord of the Rings, Seven, American History X, Trainspotting, Memento, Taxi Driver, Skate and Surfing pics

Television:

...is that similar to tunnel vision?...?

Books:

I can't say I'm a big literature fan but here are several authors that have caught my eye.
Jack Kerouac, Irvine Welsh, Kurt Vonnegut, and Henry Miller

Heroes:

really???.....
