About Me

I'm originally from Austin, but now I live in the big city of Dallas. I am a graphic designer for an advertising agency in Dallas. I live in Uptown, which despite the plastic pretentiousness that tends to permates up and down Mckinney Ave, can be pretty fun. But anyway, tons of bars and tons of people to look at me strangely as I wander aimlessly running errands in my robe, or eating at a restaruant accompanied by only my computer or a book. I've got a good group of eggs to go and hang out with in this town, and it helps me from being completely withdrawn and anti-social. Because as much as people really annoy me in a general manner, I do like people. That sentence makes sense to me, which is all that really matters. I'm an artist, a graphic designer and aspiring writer. I tend to spend my spare time toiling away on one of these tasks, or perhaps if I'm not enjoying one of those things, I swing out to a movie, by myself, because hey, I don't go sit in a movie theatre to have a fucking conversation, and anyone who does should be hit with a mallet! Anyway, I'm long winded, kind of a natural loner, love to get hang with my friends, and don't really care what people think about things, but yet I get very paranoid. So basically, I'm a walking contradiction, so if you wanna stroll and see the fireworks that ensue, feel free. Just don't talk while I'm watching a fucking movie! Peace & Love, oh yeah and if came off mean....I assure you, I'm not, just ask anyone that's ever met me, and I also have a seperate profile for just my art work, called: Rosses Magic Studio! http://www.myspace.com/rossesmagicstudio Only art is allowed to transpire there, in all it's glory and seriousness. This profile here is reserved for keeping in touch with my peeps, answering and posting very pointless surveys, and any other general silliness. ----------------------------------------------Check out my webpage, www.rossvon7design.com-------------------------------------- -------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------"HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." --WB Yeats (He Wishes for the Clothes of Heaven) ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------"In short, My Lady, I have experience, I know the world; have some fun, get each passenger to tell you his story; and if there is a single one who has not often cursed his life, who has not often said to himself that he was the unhappiest of men, throw me into the sea head first" --The Old Woman (Candide: Voltaire) ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------"My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives." --Hedley Lamar (Blazing Saddles: Mel Brooks) ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------Rosses Magic Studio! http://www.myspace.com/rossesmagicstudio add it if you like art!.. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- START YOUTHINK.COM QUIZ RESULTS --

I'd like to meet:

"I've been doing all my life after the people who interest me because, the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a common place thing, but burn burn burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"--Jack Kerouac---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ What is it about art anyway that we give it so much importance? Art is so respected by the poor because what they do is an honest way to get out of the slum using ones sheer self as the medium. The money earned proof pure and simple of the value of that individual, the artist. The picture a mother's son does in jail hangs on her wall as proof that beauty is possible even in the most wretched, and this is a much different idea than the fancier notion that art is a scam and a rip off. But you could never explain to someone who uses Godâ€™s gift to enslave that you have used Godâ€™s gift to be free. --Rene Ricard-----------------------------------------------
