Van Goghs Mising Ear - ProfilesArchive

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Soy un Payaso :My name "Van Goghs Missing Ear" implies that if i in my lifetime acomplish to have commited art as great and greater than Van Gogh's I will be fulfilled; i dont say this to be arrogant it is just my way of not getting lazy or complacent, if i strive for greatness i will not settle for anything but. I dont know who'll read this, or even if you'll care but here it goes. Im a photographer by dream, and a dreamer by design... i was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala and moved here when i was 8. my dad was an officer in a military determined to exterminate a whole culture and my mom was a hair dresser and shop keep. He watched indians die durring a heinous civil war and she would wake up at 5 am to set up a stand in the citys largest flea market. here i am now, trying to change the wrongs my fathers allies through my lens and paying my mom back in love for the hardships she went through in her youth. its the least i can do. Im engaged to the worlds most beautiful human being and cant wait until i get to sleep in her arms day in and day out. I work at the most fabulous place on earth and i wouldnt trade working there for anything in the world. The people, the mission, the founder, (even something as insignificant in the large scheme of things as) the buildings everything about SUA is better than i could have ever hoped for and definately more than what i deserve.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I've already met her :artists, dreamers, in changing up this thing i also realised what i want more than anything is to meet people with a purpose in life... last time i was in guatemala i heard a great anology: a man in a market is selling crabs, in one bucket he has chinese crabs in the other he has guatemalan crabs. the bucket with the chinese crabs is covered while the one with the gatemalan crabs isnt. a man walks up and asks "how come the chinese ones are covered but the guatemalan ones arent?" the vendor replies "because when a chinese crab tries to get out the other crabs help him up, if a guatemalan crab tries to get out the other ones pull him back down." if you happen to find yourself in the guatemalan bucket, (what i really want to say is "Fuck off" but what i will say is) help yourself and find something to live for/die for. im not saying im better than anyone nor am i trying to sound selfrighteous (i think a mission of mine is to learn how to spell) but theres nothing more depressing than a man without a mission...
