Anything or anyone creative, strong, and stimulating!! Loud, sweaty dance clubs. Especially ones filled with my friends! Like 80's, Goth, or Industria/Bondage clubs. Going to see metal bands like Chemical burn and Once Of Self! Quiet, dry coffee houses where I can read poetry, write, and hear local musicians! Splatter painting scrap lumber I find in alleys and hardware stores! Long, drawn out breakfasts @ home! Playing with THE bestest cat in the world--Fairuz! Having long conversations with my soul mates and intellectual partners. Watching movies...in a theatre...I work @ a video store!

Most of my heroes are the artists and friends I mentioned above...but for my lost friend Roger Thomas Hearld. A truly gifted and unique film maker...killed in a car crash on the 710 freeway at 26 years old. Being an atypical guy, most of my best friends are women--most men only want to know what you've been doing, not feeling...Roger was an exception. He was/still is a brother and true friend to me. He took photos that would land me my first art show, shared his knowledge of film and passed on his love of the medium to me, he actually set boundaries for our friendship (most people don't do that), and he taught me that to be truly creative, you need to take chances...otherwise it's just static and noise.
