I am here for Friends

About Me

Things are a little scary these days, but I try to still see he beauty in humanity. There are too many of us(please stop making babies), too many cars, too many suburbs, too many hormones in our food, too many chem trails in the sky, too much TV, too much trash, too much war, too many secrets, too much surveillance, too much wasted energy, too much materialism, too much consumption, too much greed, too much laziness and not enough knowledge, concern, cooperation, love, creativity, conservation, peace or compassion.We are seeing 15 species a day become extinct, the oceans may be lifeless by the year 2050, the bees are dying, we are involved in a war that has no end in sight, we are sucking the earth dry of all natural resources. Something drastic has occur. We have spread like bacteria, there are more of us than any other species on earth. It feels as if things are about to boil...... Ok now that I have that off my chest, a little about me. I am an artist to the core. A lover of beauty and nature. I am 30 years old. Spent most of my life in Dall-ass, TX. Been in Portland for 3 years now. I love it here, it doesn't matter which way you go, it's all beautimus! Had to get out of Dallas b/c of the materialism, commercialism, the baptists, country music, big hair, fake boobs, red necks and general lack of entertainment, good music, nature, compassion, or concern. This beat junkie is thrilled to have so many amazing live shows to choose from. So many crazy underground record stores and movie stores. I don't feel like such a weirdo in this scene, in fact a lot of you guys make me feel a little more normal, thanks. I am an artist, I paint, sculpt, weld, freelance make-up artist, do graphics, VJ (pleasuretek), modeling, and am crazy in good ways. I have a very twisted sense of humor, fuct up stuff makes me laugh......

My Interests

I love electronic music, not that boom, boom, boom kind, but the smart, dark, dirty, and sexy beats. The kind that requires thought to anticipate the next beat's placement, the kind that sounds like your ears are on acid. My boyfriend and I love to go dance and party. We also have a VJ project called PLEASURETEK. We play at a lot of clubs and festivals. I do most of the behind the scenes editing and effect work. Travis is really good at playing them live and making the videos dance. I also paint. I love to paint naked women, don't know why but I always have. I love to use Photoshop to photofuk pictures first, then I paint the end result. I also have welded some, that was way fun. Something sexy about a woman with a blow torch. I would really love to learn how to blow glass someday. I do freelance graphics for some bars and bands around Portland. I also occasionally model in fashion shows and photo shoots. I have really got into political art lately, I want to make some T-shirts to spread the word.

I'd like to meet:

New friends in the area, people to kick it with. People who are creative, concerned, independent, open minded, unique, free spirited, non-conformist, into mind expansion, those who question authority, easy going, drama-free, beat junkies, and people who kick ass in general.

Meatbeat Manifesto, Jack Dangers, Tino Corp, Boxcutter, Benga, Lofah, Tipper, any and all dirty dub-step, Bass Nectar, The Glitch Mob, FSOL, TRS-80, Mr. Oizo, The Knife, Dwane Sodahberk, Richard Divine, Psychic TV, Suicide, Blondie, Bob Dylan, Einsturzende Neubauten, Crass, Boards of Canada, Saul Williams, Space Time Continuum, Venetian Snares, Xiu Xiu, The Nowtwist, Adult, Out Hud!, !!!, Orbital, 808 State,The Orb, Four Tet, Glass Candy, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Higher Intelligence Agency, Shpongle, Joy Division, Kraftwerk, Quintron and Miss Pussycat, Aphex Twin, Amon Tobin, Autechre, Squarepusher, Kluster, Kid 606, Plastikman (old), Plaid, Mouse on mars, bjork, Bob Marley, Cex, Cocteau Twins, PJ Harvey, Devendra Banhart, Devo, 2 lone swordsmen, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Download, Matmos, NIN, The soft pink truth, Miss Kitten, and Add N to (X).

Movies:

I have been on a documentary kick lately. YOU MUST WATCH ZEITGEIST!! Just go to zeitgeistmovie.com and you can watch it right there.Who Killed the Electric Car, The End of Suburbia, God Grew Tired of Us, Recycled Life, and Bodysong are a few of my favorites. I also love Cult Classics like old Russ Myer flix. John Waters has to be my favorite director in the genre, my collection is almost complete! I was even Divine for Halloween, check out my pics. I also love Japanese horror with all of the squirting blood and decapitations. You should check out Suicide Club, 2LDK, Battle Royal, or Ichi the Killer. Some weird misc. movies you should check out are Pervirella, Desperate Teenage Lovedolls, THX 1138, Saved!, The Doom Generation, Meet the Feebles, and many Troma Team flix. I have really been into puppets doing things that they shouldn't be doing. Like puppet porn, check out Let my Puppets Come!, it is really screwed up. Wondershowzen is funny stuff. Even though I swore off TV 5 years ago, I still love adult swim, I download it for Robot Chicken and Metalocalypse (which is in my opinion, the beast cartoon ever)! If it's offensive, shocking, and the budget's low chances are I'll like it. I hate Hollywood, most new releases, and most movie theaters.

Television:

KILL YOUR TV! IT IS PROGRAMMING YOU!! IT IS EVIL AND ADDICTIVE!! BRAINLESS AND BORING! IT LOWERS YOUR IQ!

Books:

Terence McKenna, Hunter S. Thompson, Jung, Douglas Adams, Tom Robbins, crafty books.

Heroes:

Dr Albert Hoffman, Jack Dangers, Divine, and Hello Kitty

Well I am 29 years old, and I just slept outside for the first time this weekend. I camped at the beach. I built my very first fire also. Why a nature virgin for so long, one might ask? Well, I was s...
