About Me

»-(¯..v..¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯..v..¯)-«

A Philosopher (a rather lonely pursuit), I follow the news the way some follow sports,
watch old movies, read old and mysterious tomes, and write a parody advice column under
the pen "Lucifer" for the monthly,"the Seattle Sinner"."If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist,
it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard
of nonconformity."
-- Bill VaughanA gentleman, I,
With cat, a lion at heart,
Unstuck in time, we.And, oh yeah, I'm an artist. ( I'm also not 100; oh vanity.) Visit my website: artist-elmondo.com,

MY TATTOOS


My Second Tattoo which was inked by Ishtar. It is of the Toltec God Quetzelcoatl, the feathered serpent. In one legend he is said to have emerged from the mouth of a serpant. My first Tattoo inked by Robyn Emlen in 2000. This is of the Aztec Sun God Tonatiuh who here is rendered as a single All Seeing Eye and is associated with the four directions symbolized by a butter fly. So this is Tonatiuh, Sun God, rendered as a butter fly with All Seeing Eye.

My Interests

Sex, Free Love (which is all I can afford these days), wife swapping (if I was married), Skydiving (if I wasn't afraid of heights), Skiing (if I didn't think that sliding off the side of a mountain was absolutely insane), reading books on gambling (but a bit dubious of the activity itself), BodyBuilding (with every second beer or slice of pie), S&M (as long as it doesn't hurt... no pain), bowling.

I'd like to meet:
