Mr. List

I guess it doesn't look good on paper because it's made out of words.

About Me


I'm 24 and live in Santa Cruz. I play guitar and bass and will melt the brain of anyone listening with my skills.I have made films and written scripts that are different, strange, sometimes thought provoking, sometimes funny, sometimes dark, always just a little off-kilter. Of course, it has been a few years since I last made a movie, but I'm at least writing again.So, I went to electrician school but have now found out that getting an job as an electrician in Santa Cruz is beyond impossible unless you are of journeyman level. What that means is that I'd need at least 5 years experience working as an electrician to get an electrician job. This is the problem with "careers." There is a Catch-22 involved that just boggles the mind because no one can ever give a straight answer as to why it is this way. To get a job, you need experience. But how do you get experience unless you get a job. But to get a job you need experience. And you can't get a job without experience. And so forth. But really... how the hell do you get experience if no one will hire you because you don't have experience? Arrrggg!I party like a rock star, because I am one.In my spare time I enjoy fighting the hordes of Ninjas that always seem to invade Santa Cruz. Don't tell me you haven't seen them. You just aren't looking in the right places if you haven't. I'm also Batman, but that's a secret. SSShhhhhhhh!They call me Mr. Knowitall, I am so Eloquent. Perfection is my middle name... and whatever rhymes with eloquent.So check out my band The Physical Jerks right here ."At the top of the mountain, we are all snow leopards." - Hunter S. Thompson

My Interests

Music, movies, drinking, splitting the atom, you know the usual stuff. Oakland A's, Oakland Raiders, San Jose Sharks. Beer, Vodka, Whiskey, Scotch, Tequila, funky mixed drinks, and of course the best, RUM, especially Bacardi 151. That'll knock you on your ass. Liquid Vicodin. My guitars, electric, bass and acoustic. Not getting electrocuted. Old school cartoons. $4 pitcher night at the Ave. Finding money on the sidewalk. Not getting arrested if I can help it. $5 buy-in Texas Hold 'em nights. X-Box. Subtle comedy. Deja-Vu. BBQs. Avoiding Castro Valley like the plaque. Getting mugged by the cops in Mexico. The eye candy at parties and then talking to those girls who then get offended you looked at them, even though they wouldn't dress that way if they didn't want the attention it brings. The beach. BBQs at the beach. Drinking at the beach. Drunk BBQs at the beach.

I'd like to meet:

Are you interesting? Even if you aren't drop me line, I might be bored enough to answer any and all questions about the mysteries of the universe... or probably just questions about alcohol. I'm good at answering those.Anyone who knows how to rock and party like a rock star, which I've actually been called by a friend of mine, so believe me I can party like one, I'd expect anyone and everyone to keep up.Movie lovers of all ilk.The Silent Elk of Yesterday.Those who annoy everyone within earshot with sarcasm, cynicism and Family Guy references."Fellow collegues, distinguished members of the press..."Anyone who is bored.

Music:

My musical tastes are so vast that if I were to list them all you'd get a headache from all the reading, so here it goes... Sublime, The Beatles, Slightly Stoopid, Jimi Hendrix, The Ziggens, Long Beach Dub All Stars, Old Dirty Bastard, Miles Davis, BB King, Eric Clapton, The White Stripes, Filibuster, Bargain Music, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Easy Star All Stars, Half Pint, Wu Tang Clan, Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire, Rage Against the Machine, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Led Zepplin, Buckethead, Primus, Audioslave, Tenacious D, Nirvana, Estradasphere, Mr. Bungle, Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, Oysterhead, Pink Floyd, Bad Brains, Secret Hate, Les Claypool's Frog Brigade, various classical composers such as Beethoven and Chopin, Aphex Twin, Crystal Method, Radiohead, System of A Down, Queens of the Stone Age, Andre Nickatina, The Expendables, Pepper, Tom Petty, ZZ Top, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Faith No More, Outkast, Tomahawk, Fantomas, Fatboy Slim, Dust Brothers, Lovage, Bob Dylan, and more but my fingers are going to die from typing. But when I play music be it on my guitar or bass, it is normally some variation of rock, like right here .

Movies:

Anything that doesn't suck. Although, sometimes, I'll watch a movie that sucks when I'm really drunk and think it's great then I'll see it again sober and demand the TV gives me my money back. I rarely receive the refund. The moral of the story is drinking is fun. On a more serious note though, here's a couple movies I enjoy that don't suck: Fight Club, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, A Clockwork Orange, Trainspotting, Snatch, Blue Velvet, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The Empire Strikes Back, Bottle Rocket, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Back to the Future, Rushmore, Pi, The Big Lebowski, Almost Famous, The Royal Tenenbaums, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Kill Bill, Napolean Dynamite, Garden State, Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman, X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman, Taxi Driver, Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead (the original), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Army of Darkness, Lord of the Rings, Clerks, This is Spinal Tap, The Cooler, Scarface, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Batman Begins. Ok, that was a fucking lot more than a couple, so I'll stop now.

Television:

Family Guy, The Simpsons, The Shield, Mr Show, Aqua Teen, Sealab, Harvey Birdman, Home Movies, Robot Chicken, Metalocalypse, South Park, Dinner for Five, The Daily Show, Futurama, Arrested Development, My Name is Earl, The Colbert Report, Scrubs, The Sopranos, Huff, Big Love, Lost, Penn and Teller: Bullshit, Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Weeds, Prison Break, Late Night with Conan O' Brian, Extras, The Office, Heroes.

Books:

Hunter S. Thompson books. The good doctor writes some crazy stuff. I can't really say that I'm a huge book person, I'll just read something that sounds interesting or a friend suggests I read. I don't go searching for the next great literary masterpiece to discover or anything like that. Although, I could make a career out of it. Of course, I'd make no salary and live on the street. And they say reading is fundamental. Jack-asses.

Heroes:

Yeah, that show rocks. Hiro is a badass.
