About Me

I'm conducting a series of social experiments commonly refered to as "life".
I like eating healthy food, not smoking, not doing drugs, and the occasional booze binge. I like to space out sometimes, ya know like just stare at the wall. I love when interesting people show me new stuff I've never seen or heard of. Sometimes I feel like I've lead several different lives in this one. I occasionally get a case of Casanova lip. I like reading books and magazines. I think for a while I was completely mad. When I die, I want all the girls I've ever dated to write a story about what a lousy boyfriend I was. It's a reoccurring theme I'm trying to change. I love my job, and I have some of the most genuine, creative, and hilarious friends in the world. I am so homesick for Portland but I'm adjusting to my new life in California. Name droppers, social climbers, and idiot girls, bug the shit out of me.
I anticipate a world where no one has to think, learn, have talent, or be responsible for there actions.
It's better to be a first rate version of yourself rather than a second rate version of someone else... So fuck it!
"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 who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn......." -Jack Kerouac
"One has to get rid of the bad taste of wanting to be in agreement with many. 'good' is no longer good when your neighbour takes it into his mouth. and how could there exist a 'common good'! the expression is a self-contradiction: what can be common has ever but little value. in the end it must be as it is and has always been: great things are for the great, abysses for the profound, shudders and delicacies for the refined, and, in sum, all rare things for the rare."-nietzsche
I'm very busy working on many projects. Please don't get bummed on me if I can't respond to your messages. I appreciate your support tremendously, but it would just be impossible to respond immediately to everyone.

My Interests

I am a visual artist and photographer.

Check out www.coreysmithart.com and my other art profile www.myspace.com/coreysmithart.

I just moved to Southern California from Portland Oregon.

I have a Greyhound named Marcel Duchamp. He's a delicate genius.

I was in the best fucking Rock n' Roll band in Portland called Death Valley http://www.myspace.com/deathvalleyrocks

I'm looking to start a new project. I'd like to play some fuzzy psych dance rock. I wanna do something real bare bones and fun.

I'm always down to collaborate with other artists and musicians.

I'd like to meet:

People who use me, girls that break my heart, dude's that steal shit from my house when I have parties, people who think I have money, shit talkers, oh wait for real...

Girls that like to see movies, non boring creative people, unpredictable people, girls with guts, boys with charm, anyone who gets shit done. Hopless romantics and people who add my Art profile and get my art, real friends, people with a good sense of humor, non materialistic people, anyone who smiles, nice people, non social climber cunts...
