About Me

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/JESSIEVONPRESLEY
WWW.JESSIEVONPRESLEY.COM

I front a rock n' roll band called "Jessie Von Presley", and I also do stand up comedy. I write, songs, prose, poetry, and jokes. I love art and incorperating it into every aspect of my life, from my clothes and music to my cars and home decore. I'm into a lot of things, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to accommodate everything. Other than my music and comedy I like to work on cars, run, bike, hang out at the beach, and at bars, but not bars at the beach. I enjoy building model cars, playing my acoustic guitar, and driving way too fast on curvy roads in my hot rod. I have a lot of interest in politics, and I'm pretty far to the left of things. I'm very self analytical, and realize that I'm a little self absorbed...among other things. I have done lots of crazy things in my life that could've gotten me killed or locked up, but since I was lucky enough for that not to happen I have a lot of great stories, or so I'm told. I haven't had a relationship in years, but that's pretty much impossible in Hollywood so I've been dating for some time now. I'm not sure which of the two is worse. Fortunately for me I'm not one of those people who base my happiness on other people, so you see being a total narcosis has its advantages :)

I'd like to meet:

I like to meet all types of interesting characters, this is one of the great things about living in Hollywood. Obviously I get along well with people who are into the rock scene, hot rods, and who appreciate a prolific dick joke. I'd like to meet people with a passion for life, and those who are fearless. I feel really lucky to have a handful of amazing people in my life, but then again I have another hand that could use a few more.
