Ignorance, Fear and Predjudice go hand in hand....

About Me

Hi again everybody. I was raised in Ohio and California. My grandparents moved here when I was 7 and I have been going back and forth since 1998. A valley Cleveland guy (isn't that weird?). Now living and paying my own rent in Los Angeles I have chosen two paths... Finance and Art/Music. Guess which one pays my bills? I enjoy both actually, but it is a lot more exciting to travel to New York and lay on the ground getting different angles for photos of the Metro Art Museum or drunken homeless in Central Park.I'm not big into talking about myself as I feel that people earn doorways and windows into each others personalities through interaction. If you cross my path and we click you normally get a lot of sincerity, deep thought, and most of all you will laugh your ass off! For some reason, I naturally have the ability to make people get to know themselves (sometimes more than they want). BTW, laughing my ass off is my very most favorite thing to do.When people get over on me thru conflict it's only because I'm not good at being evil or disrespectful. I'm a very good soul and will treat you as good or better than you treat me. (this can be a huge downfall haha!!) So go out there and say "I don't give a shit" and be the best that you are. And if you don't, "I really don't give a shit."

My Interests

I compose on the piano, sing in a jazz vocal group,bike and take nature and architectural photography. Been known to watch DVD's all day long. I hate being interrupted by commericals. I used to play football and watch MLB, NBA, and NFL. NFL stands for nice fucking life. Drinking is fun too.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody that wants to meet me. As long as they don't have sharp instruments, or talk and talk and talk about nothing. Why are there so many people talk that about nothing? Good God!!!

Music:

Some of the best musicians/artists in the world are: Wayne Shorter, Lyle Mays, Imogen Heap, Al Dimeola, Christine Perfect, Donald Fagen, Tonoccus McClain, Ella, Joni, Jennifer Kelly, Neil Peart, Aimee Mann Billie, Clara Ponty, Missy Elliot, Tony Banks, Fiona, David Gilmour, Sarah, Thom Yorke, Dave Brubeck, Betty Carter, Zero Seven Joe Sample, Patricia Hanifan, Christine McVie, Tori, Herbie, Steve Winwood, Les MCcain, Jill Scott.Each of these musicians have a pristine/distinct frequency that can never be reproduced or imitated in any way. These artists have music in their balls!! Oh and I don’t give a shit how little or many albums they have sold. However, if they have sold millions, they deserve every fucking penny!

Movies:

Shit there are so many... I guess you just have to give honorable mentions:Here goes: LOTR I II III (Someone knew how to spend an epic budget!!) Godfather I II III (If you haven't seen this trilogy, youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu stink!) Star WarsI know it's obvious but sometimes the cliche is a cliche for a reason.

Television:

I really don’t watch TV per se. However, I wait for the DVD’s to come out. I like to laugh to Family Guy, The Comeback, Entourage, Huff, All in the Family, MASH, Taxi. I like to cry to Six Feet Under, Buffy (how embarrasing), Law and Order (dun dun!!)… I’m glad Friends is off the air (I kept saying die already!!)Oh and since I live in Los Angeles.. if they show the Cleveland Browns, CAVS or Indians. You know you love them. Don't deny yourself

Books:

I don't know how to read.

Heroes:

Mom and Pop, Nana and Papa, Mark and Chuck, Sega and Jazz (the cat, not the genre)
