About Me

it is always a tricky thing when writing about oneself the line between who you are and what you do and is what you do who you are? i had an acting teacher who say character is action and i guess on some level there is a truth to that. But i like to look past the action, past i am a short order cook, i am a lawyer.i work as a video editor and film maker for small company my friends and i created. i have lived all over the world and have dedicated my for art and travel. i can like anybody who hates GW Bush. and if he like him just get off my page now!i am working on a feature film which i will write and direct called a sewer baptism, which is a neo film noir, that will be shot in baltimore md.i do think that most people live their life or don't live their live, just going through the motions because they are afraid to die. i would like to live this life and be tired and ready when my day comes to leave this world.i think this is a strange time, to be alive the world is changing in new ways and we the adults of today , if we live to grow old will see what could be beautiful or a new post modern dark age. This idea is very often in my art work.i love drum and bass and trip hop and radiohead. i like to meet people that are real and say what they mean good and bad. life is too short for a lot of b.s. i have lived in new mexico and i am from baltimore.i lived in europe for about three years . i am finishing a novel and working on three more some are true and some is fiction. i would like to take part and documenting the life and times of now.i feel as if people[ young people even more] have become retroheads and want to live in the past or even worse their parents youth instead of their own. life is happening right now, live it. Neotrauma means new trauma and is a debate about the pros and cons of modernism.Humans are simple animals that have created a world that is beyond our understanding and very much out of control. there are many ways to describe but i will let the songs speak for themselves.Here are some tracks form my band Legion Lost: Legion Lost is: Myke Wells on Drums Ben Hall on bass me on vocals Skeletor on Guitars "Image hosted by Photobucket.com" CHECK US OUT!

My Interests
