AB-27

My needs will be met or my fists will be met...by your JAW!

About Me

I find that ducks' opinion of me is very much influenced over whether or not I have bread.

"THUNDERIN THUMBZ AND lightin lickz bassist seekin a lite jazz funk outfit to throw down with old school Jeff Lorber fusion. 5 string, amp, ride. Holler back 773-XXX-XXXX R.C. after 7pm. Mature only."

"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to discover through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened." - Albert Camus

This is a short I directed to the tune of Interpol's "Hands Away"...

My Interests

design, painting, photography, listening to/making music, writing, yoga, partying, yoga partying, concerts, doing crazy stuff, sleeping, eating (a little), doing nothing, slacking off, working really hard, making good memories with good friends and family, making plans that never happen, growing older but feeling younger and younger, growing a mustache then shaving it off immediately, comforting Chrisbaker after MLIS tries to kill him, lovin' all the ladies, all the time, designing graphics for friends for free (i'll do it but i won't like it), givin' 'em the pickle (just give it to 'em), playing music live with people that are worse musicians than I am so that I don't feel too bad the end.

I'd like to meet:

Pete Townshend, Bret Easton Ellis, Brian Eno, Robert Longo, Huey Lewis, and...

"Hang on, little Johnny. Uncle Rumpel's on his way!"
