About Me

so i like my camera and my computer and i love my family and my friamly which is a word for friends that are your chosen family and run on sentences, yeah i like run on sentences. i like confidence... but i think i get it confused with arrogance sometimes when i am tipsy and i end up in a long conversation with someone i thought was interesting but then they are just mean. i don't like mean. i think it is lazy and in general no fun to be around. i just started teaching little kiddos and i am super impressed by them everyday...they are teaching me way more i'm afraid...but they do seem to be enthrawled with my tatoos and they laugh at me a lot more than with me. it's not much different from when i was behind the bar i guess! but i like them soooo much more.... (no offense to those of you that i have waited on and love dearly) but when they get in a fight i can break it up by picking one them up and moving them to another room, no cops and much less mess! oh yeah and the things that they say are funny when they don't mean to be instead of the reverse! i am really enjoying the time i spend with them and it's helping me be more productive with my first love, Photography... anything else...hmmm? oh yeah i hate cold weather but i love so many wonderful assholes in this city that i am starting to doubt that i will ever dwell in a place where my toes will be happy all year round...at least there is always whiskey!

My Interests

North St. Louis afternoon with my pops

photography, music, making new crap outta old crap, old photos and old people. anything that has that saturation of memories and experience. soccer, dancing & drinkin', talking politics & throwing parties, language & travel. oh yeah...and signs, i love middle-america and it's ability to put anything and everything on on a sign!

I'd like to meet:

joy and the crab man from my name is earl....actually i really would like to meet that actress because she is amazing...ah-may-zing...yeah and as for the rest of ya if you are someone that i know in the real world yippee! if not, have something interesting to ask or tell other than a self promotion or a pick up line...if i wanted that i'd go to a sport's bar with a giant flat screen above the bar....stay outta my computer with that shit, please.

Music:

i listen to just about everything. but i love john prine, and singer-song writers like lucinda williams, geoff muldar, arlo & woody guthrie, mississippi john hurt etc. i also love latin music, the more traditional sounds as well as the newer interpretations of the old sounds, i love KDHX!!!! i like a lot of older stuff really - thanks to my papa... like sam cooke, solomon burke, war, al green, aretha, the persuasions, van morrison, ottis redding, curtis mayfield, the meters, toots and the maytals, irma thomas, ike and tina - together and seperate thank you very much! i also really like modest mouse, radio head, the strokes, kings of leon, lauren hill, erikah badu, outkast, goody mob, dmx(in the right mood), deangelo, ben harper, jack johnson, rL burnside, kebmo, flaming lips. Lately i have been listening to sean hayes, regina specktor, bobbie bare jr and then on the flip - mos def, the new danger, and st. louis's very own Nite Owl- check him out whenever you can - and roisin murphy...

Movies:

amelie, frida, city of lost children, y tu mama tambien (hot,hot, HOT), sex and lucia (even hotter), tea with mussalini(i totally mispelled that), life is beautiful, pulp fiction, casino, resevoir dogs, true romance, love and a 45... i have a thing for foriegn films and mob movies, what a strange mix. four rooms is fucking great! I rarely like "chic flicks" although a few good chics and a box of wine and a cheesy movie is a damn good night! (Right Brenda and Sarah!) anyway, pirates of the carribean and frida are the two that i could watch over and over, and i do, tehehehe. oh yeah i can't do scary - Zombie yes but psycho-thriller absolutely not! most recently...my life in pink (its about a little boy that is convinced that he is a little girl) very good!

Television:

don't have it... don'y really miss it. i rent stuff that comes highly recommended by those whom i trust to know the difference between entertainment and crap. right now i'm starting in on the 6 feet under - from the beginning! lovin' it!

Books:

jitterbug perfume, still life with woodpecker - tom robbins is amazing. daughter of fortune, yellow raft in blue water, black like me, littel alters everywhere and the divine sercrets of the ya ya sisterhood, i also really like nick hornby, i like reading short stories A LOT! just read a book that my lovely sister passed onto me - The Summer of Ordinary Ways, a memior by Nicole Lea Helget...holy shit was it powerful, fucked up in all ways beautiful.

Heroes:

my grandma, frida kahlo & the Dread Pirate Robert

the patterns of a broken-hearted lizard

i've realized that we all work (live) in these loops or patterns, some of us have really smallloops so that the repetition is easy to recognize, and then hopefully work on changing, others have longer...
