It all began a long, long time ago. A man and a woman fell in love and decided to have a child. Hence, I was born. Well at least that's what I want to believe... who knows, maybe my mom and dad were hopped up on beer and decided to have a pants party that night. Anyway, I was introduced to this world, forged from some fires of darkness left to roam the earth in search of my own beautiful balloon of cowshit.
Nice mental picture, huh?
I've been able to draw since I was a kid. It slowly developed over the course of my life that has led me to the path of tattooing. I enjoy working with as many art forms as I can handle though, but most are quite expensive and take more time than I actually can spare. I've been tattooing for almost 6 years now and it's let me travel all over, networking and making a national clientle that just seems to get bigger and more fruitful. I'm blessed to have this profession as part of my life, and only hope it gets better from here.
I've also been a musician for most of my life, playing drums now for 17 years... but have also dabbled in various instruments in my adolescent youth. I love playing the drums in various types of bands, hell... I just love to play. I've also been a vocalist in many metal bands in the area, something I never thought I'd do but ended up being pretty good at it. Growing up listening to breakdance hip-hop and new wave has also given me a flavor to listen to electronica and other various types of dance style music, so I also write and program my own versions of that working with the turntables. It's an awesome and very personal creative outlet I've found that can put me in a zone like no other. Other than that, I enjoy being introduced to new styles of music as often as I can. Especially moving to New Orleans... I've found so many new favorites here, ones I've been fortunate enough to see perform before I bought their albums.
I enjoy films. I watch just about anything. Movies that challenge your train of thought are the best. I find myself enjoying the films that the average schmoe will think totally sucks. I love horror and gory movies for the shock value and the elementary formulas of how people are killed. And any comedy is worth watching at least twice. Especially if they have poop, fart and dick jokes in them, and the occasional goof falling down. For some reason I laugh so hard I break ribs at those sort of things.
Other things I enjoy include cooking, drinking beer, sitting outside enjoying the weather, golfing, playing video games, throwing a frisbee or some kind of stupid ball around, picking my nose, pretending to be a dinosaur or a pirate (sometimes even a pirate dinosaur), making people laugh with my retardation, sarcasm, pretending to be someone else when I meet someone new, making fun of shallow people, talking about things that will never happen, and pretending french fries are people.
I'm blessed with a loving family and the best friends anyone could ask for. Just none of them are rich, which really sucks because I do really well at spending money. But seriously, they have loved and supported me ever since I can remember and I don't know what I'd do without them. You all know who you are, I don't need to name names.
And oh, I have a cat. His name is Nubi (noo-bee). He'll have his own myspace profile soon. Beware... for he can tell you secrets about me that I won't if you're not careful.
Yes, I'm single. No kids, never been married. Choices I'm glad to have stuck with. It's hard finding someone to date that doesn't play games or has severe emotional problems. Not to say that I'm perfect, because I'm far from it. But until I find someone that's on the same level and sparks that flame I've been looking for all my life, it's not even an issue. At this point in my life after moving to a new city, I just want to make new friends and leave the romance alone for awhile. So if you stumble onto my profile somehow in an interest to date or hook up or whatever, I'd much prefer your friendship above all else. But thanks for thinkin' about it at least. =)
That's all for now. All this will probably change over time. And you probably hate me for writing this much. Well, too bad. If you read your horoscope daily, you can read this. Deal with it.
