I spend too much time: on my computer, online, on photoshop, and playing with css / thinking about cars, sound systems, and girls / paying attention to statistics that aren't important / giggling internally at linguistic and grammatical jokes / conceptualizing over-board multimedia art experiments / wishing i had money and a crappy car so i could Pimp-My-Ride, Walmart Style! / silently creating analogies for everything / looking up interesting information / making silly lists.
I'm a fan of: off-beat movies, idm, girls that are a bit exotic, rock, quick beautiful cars, hiphop, high clarity audio and video, emo-ish stuff, my supra, artsy films, tiny things, original art, macs, california, some rap, anaolgies, my iPod, intuitive interfaces, good vocabularies (without going overboard with the rhetoric) and on and on.
I mostly disapprove of: nu-metal, new-wave goth anything, movies like Dare Devil, Pearl Harbor, and Triple X, self-proclaiming-smart-people, cheesy techno, corruption (Insurance, RIAA, the US Medical System, this list could go on forever) dishonor, most radio popular music (but not all), the lowest common denominator, frivolous lawsuits...
My new ride:
1993 Audi S4 (UrS4)
- 5 speed, all wheel drive, turbocharged 2.2 liter 20 valve straight 5. Black, beige leather interior, power everything, heated seats Upgraded hybrid turbo, 3" turbo back exhaust, shimmed wastegate, etc. Peaks at 22psi, sustains at 18psi. 280 horsepower at the wheel (~315HP at the crank)
Interests:
I am much into photography these days... photography of all types. 35mm, medium format, digital, digital lofi, toy cameras, etc. There's nothing like hand-developing though, so i dont think i'll ever go full digital.
I'm into making / slicing music, tools of choice are Reason 3.0, Apple's Soundtrack for simple mixing, and so on. I edit/mix music for dance routines a buddy of mine coordinates, and work on making music whenever i get the chance / energy. ...I also recently did some audio work for theater productions, which was pretty cool. I'm just really into audio in general; not just music.
I'm also into Final Cut these days... i've always been into video editing (and shooting; framing, composing, camera movements...) but until i got Final Cut i was kind of annoyed with the software. Final Cut is sick, and now i'm into editing video more than i ever was.
I want to get more into Printmaking, and i'm trying to find out what my options around here are: i cant afford a press, but there may be one i can rent or use or something. Printmaking is ill and i want to get more of that action.
If i ever get the motivation, and a few bucks, i'm in to cars... i'd like to get my '89 Toyota Supra Turbo shining, and running at around 325 - 350hp/torque, which isn't that drastically much more power than it already has. ...that would take around $4k, so i dont think it's happening any time soon. (i'll work it piece by piece though.)
I'm also a wanna-be film nerd, photographic junkie, website designer, graphics designer, music snob, art fag, tech toy fan, etc.
My interests are spread thinner every day.

Disclaimer: i generally forget about myspace.com for months at a time, then suddenly i'll think about it and go around looking at profiles etc. Then, again, invariably i'll loose interest and forget about it for a couple more weeks. ...just lettin' ya know. :)
