Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead--Charles Bukowski

About Me

Eccentric humanitarian, hispanic / native american that loves art, culture, music & travel on any scale. I'm proud to be a Vegetarian, & a compassionate companion to animals. The best shows I've attended include Inside a Broken Clock: A Tom Waits Peepshow, Henry Rollins Spoken Word, Tori Amos, David Byrne, RENT, Flaming Lips, Depeche Mode, Gipsy Kings, Snoop Dogg, Damien "Jr. Gong" Marley, Stephen Wright, & Bob Dylan. Most memorable shows where I had no choice in my childhood: Oral Roberts, & Jimmy Swaggart! And just recently had the chance opportunity to catch part of a Benny Hin theatrical show. Benny was like Phoenix from X-Men, & the people went down like a ton of bricks! Of course his bouncers would lay them down gently. It was a trip to see all those people laying around his feet twitching. How long were they supposed to stay down? Freaky crazy that they would line up & go on stage voluntarily! I have to admit it was quite a show. Yet to see Tom Waits, but I am patient & hopeful. Trips of a life time include: Germany, France, Key West, Savannah, San Franscisco, Memphis, Austin, & my Amtrak adventure. The art of conversation is dead, but i have faith in humanity to restore intellectual stimulation even in places you least expect it. As long as i'm in San Diego, going to the Getty in LA is a must.

My Interests

Museums. Among my favorites: The Louve in Paris, The Getty in Los Angeles, Graceland in Memphis, Hemmingway House in Key West, Goethe House in Frankfurt, The Funeral Museum in Houston, & The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. I hope to one day visit The Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health aka MUM. It was founded by an American man, & he ran the museum out of his basement for 4 yrs. He is hoping to open a public location, & I hope to see it in my travels.Impressionism. Fine Coffee & Chocolate. Veggie lifestyle. Libraries. Cemetaries. Botanical Gardens. Thrift Stores. I'm an Antiques Road Show junkie. I've thought of leaving it all to become a roadie! Concerts. Sleeping in. Road trips. Music, Independent Film, Spoken Word, & culture motivate me to wake up in the morning.

I'd like to meet:

My real father. Just joking! In this or the afterlife...Tom Waits & Jim Jarmousch for gifting us with a reason to live--for the love of music & art. Tina Turner. Chuck Palahniuk. Christopher Walken. John Waters. Dale Chihuly--glass blower extraordinarre, & last living artist on my list. Jello Biafra. More freaky toed kitties from Hemmingway House. Dalai Lama-- to ask what beer he drinks when kicking it with friends. /param
