About Me


Would-be-musician/ artist/ photographer/ writer. Neurologically atypical*; liar; preoccupied with sex; a lot of repressed anger. Also warm and caring - loving husband, devoted dad. IQ in the 140+ range (and dropping); high-school dropout; don't drive. I find social interaction a confusing nuisance. *Neither World's Dumbest Genius nor World's Smartest Retard, but possessing overly specialized cognitive functions. Currently (or recently) working with several bands/artists/entities as guitarist and/or producer and/or graphic designer and/or spiritual advisor/life coach: the Snakehandlers , Marty West , Bruce Burton w/King Size , Angela Easterling , Mynx , Lynda Kay , Dirt Joint , Doc Holliday's Watusi Rodeo , etc. and whatever. Now, I've invented the title Digital Set Designer, but I can't say who the video was for, because, well, cool people wouldn't add me.My latest windmill-du-jour (you get extra points if the quasi-french Quixote reference works for you) is the misdiagnoses of neurologically atypical "disorders", especially the underdiagnosis of Asperger Syndrome in women (hey I knew I loved those angry tattooed princesses for something, besides, well, ya know...). This is not just for the short bus anymore; if you are involved with the Arts or Sciences, chances are that you, or someone you know (maybe most people you know), have, to varying degrees, brain structure abnormalities that are not unrelated to Autism/Schizophrenia. I've come to believe it has always been thus. PS if this is you, get off your high horse/pity pot and do what your brain is designed to do best - whatever that may be (for example if what your brain is designed to do best is pose for my new 3-D topless pinup book, so be it. Or perhaps you could find some loftier purpose). Did you really read all of this? No skimming? Wow. I wouldn't have.
I also fix computers that aren't even broken, but only ones I like. Will take pictures for $ or ?. Yes I'll be in your band, but if you suck I'll be hard to get a hold of. Yes I will teach you to play guitar with your clothes on (grudgingly). I'm teaching myself motion graphics so stand back - this time, I really think self-sufficiency is only a few years away."If one purges the Judaism of the Prophets and Christianity as Jesus taught it of all subsequent additions, especially those of th priests, one is left with a teaching which is capable of curing all the social ills of humanity." -A. Einstein

My Interests

BUT SERIOUSLY
learn to play guitar with
It's "easy" to stop sucking. Now taking on 2 or 3 more daytime students from now until late spring. Ask me about the "fast track". Unless your fingers still hurt from last time you tried to play guitar...

I'd like to meet:


people who will appreciate me for who I really seem to be.

Eccentric philanthropists. Ron Popeil. Free money. The next big thing. Ninjas. Ronnie Spector. Helpful friendly folks. Celebrities on their way down. Snobby "artists". In dark alleys. Weight-loss gurus. Sexy unconscious babes. Jimmy Carter. people who won't ever send me event invitations.

Movies:

Star Wars, Behind the Green Door, French Connection II, etc.

Television:

Sucks. I mean, I like how they use sex to sell everything, but until they start showing more skin, I can't pay attention. It's tolerable with the sound off, but I still think there should be more skin.

Books:

Everything You Know is Wrong; KJV; Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them; The Sermon on the Mount; anything by William G. Wilson; Life And Times of Little Richard; anything with hobbits or fairies or little kid sorcerers with magic dust. Stuff with pictures of women with their clothes off.

Heroes:

Superman, Batman, Black Vulcan, etc.
