I am here for Friends

About Me

The last few years of my life have been a roller coaster ride of here and there. Way to much to much for me to try and describe in this small space. You can see the blogs of my last year on my website at www.johnnynomad.com
If I had to describe myself in just a few words: Inspiring Film Maker, Professional Dj, Dreamer, Silent Observer, Manipulative Asshole, Hitchhiker, Commentator of Reality, Inspiring Photographer, Wonderer, Nasty Dancer, and of course a Traveler!
Since my graduation from LSU (Dec 03) I have dedicated all my time and energy to exploring the world and trying to make sense of it all. I am happy to say that I lived almost 4 years of my life with no real regrets! Not many people I know can say that! The self titled project ¨The Johnny Nomad Experiment¨ has been followed by people from all over the world. In the 5 short years that I have owned a passport I have been to all 7 continents and well over 70 countries in the process. It's hard to believe that I have been to over 1 out of 3 countries in the world. Wait a second, Scratch that, reverse it.......I have not seen 2 out of 3 countries in world! Oh the insanity!!!!
I have decided to take a step out of the ¨traveling circus¨ for a bit to pursue new projects. I would like to create something from all the experiences I have collected over the last few years.
My life of contradictions:I tell people all the time I am a student, but I have not taken a single class in over 3 years. I spent 4 years of college surrounded by ¨pointy shoe girls¨, but I now feel more comfortable around girls who live in vans. I don't have hair, but I still buy shampoo. I have very little money, but I have seen and done more then the richest people in the world. I love mustaches, but I cannot grow one of my own. I don..t eat meat, but I hate to be called a vegetarian!
A few interesting fact about myself: I caught malaria 2 yrs ago while traveling in the Amazon jungle, I sometimes dream about being famous, I once burned my bum raw on a "nudie beach" in Croatia, I think Bjork is one of the prettiest people alive, one of my goals in life is to have my name in the Guinness Book of world records, I sometimes stare, Radio Head -Kid A might be my favorite album of all time, I would never date a girl who would not think that an ¨all you can eat pizza buffet¨ = a really nice first date, My spelling is on par with a 5 grader, It's OK because I figure I can beat up 8 out of 10 5th graders, I think everyone in the world has a story to tell -just some are a lot more interesting then others, wet socks make me sad, I can be judgmental at times, I like looking at maps, my biggest fear in life is that of being average, I once went swimming in Antarctica with penguins, I am some what scared that I might one day start a cult, I prefer brunettes to blonds, I hate the opera but love the theater, People who don't read scare me, I believe with all my heart it's not my destiny to live to be old, I once got "the fleas" in Peru from sharing a bed with a baby monkey named "Ruby," I sometimes work as a theater light designer / theater tech, I enjoy collecting vinyl (records) and stealing music off the Internet, I have a 1983 Vintage Vespa named "Biddy", Sometimes the world around me makes me sad, I think the Bush administration is the worse thing to happen to America since the hamburger, when I get nervous I sometimes think in Spanish?, I always ask myself the question "why?" I do not like to be around fat girls or taxidermy, I think most people in the world lack creativity!

My Blog

I once lit a man on fire in Reno, Just to watch him burn!

So for the last few weeks I have been trying to come to my senses and process one of the most outlandish experiences of my short existence. Don't get me wrong I love a good novelty as much as the next...

I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue!

So, I woke up just a few days ago with a smile on my face. I had a smile on my face because I realized my time had come..... After over 3 yrs of living out of a bag traveling to the far ends ...
